India generates ~3.4 million tonnes of plastic waste, only ~12% of which is processed⁽¹⁾. Choosing to play a part in that 12% is Britannia, who has not only been 100% plastic neutral for over 2 years now, but is actively reducing their footprint across their operations⁽²⁾. Britannia cannot do it alone, any more than you or I can. Recognising this, #HarPocketAbDustbin is Talented’s attempt at compounding the effect of an everyday effort through the eyes of 8 year old Ruhi. Made with love in collaboration with 1. Director Gajraj Rao and the team from CodeRed Films. 2. Britannia Industries Limited who courageously made a film featuring zero products, just their own waste (Amit Doshi, Shree Das, Archana Balaraman, Prabakaran Kandan) 3.

Some brands talk about going beyond profits by taking up impactful initiatives, and it’s worth your attention. Britannia isn't just talking about sustainability; they're actively reducing their footprint and have achieved 100% plastic neutrality for over two years. Their latest endeavor, brought to life by the talented Gajraj Rao and CodeRed Films, features a film with a twist—it showcases zero products, focusing solely on their sustainability efforts. Directed under the banner of hashtag#HarPocketAbDustbin, the project aims to magnify the impact of everyday actions through the perspective of 8-year-old Ruhi. Britannia and Talented.Agency have set a new benchmark in environmental responsibility. Watch the film, be inspired, and share your thoughts. Could this inspire other companies to follow suit? . #SustainabilityInAction #Brand #Greatinitiatives #mostlovedbrands

Good initiative,

India is leading the way in recycling, successfully processing 60-70% of its plastic waste as a testament to the nation's commitment to addressing plastic pollution. However, the growing use of #virgin plastic still poses a challenge, increasing the overall volume of waste. At #BanyanNation, we are committed to a #CircularEconomy by providing high-quality recycled resins with material properties comparable to virgin plastics. This is achieved through a waste collection strategy that selects discarded plastics originally produced from resins with similar properties. In today’s world, there is an increasing urgency to address the impact of plastic waste. Now more than ever, we must embrace recycled materials as a key driver of both sustainability and effective waste management. #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #Recycling #PlasticWaste #RecycledResins #BanyanNation Ministry of Energy Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change Ministry of Planning Development and Special Initiatives Ministry of Jal Shakti, Department of Water Resources, RD & GR, Govt. of India Maneka Gandhi Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury Shell Sunsilk India ITC Limited Hindustan Unilever research centre

Thank you so much for the opportunity Research Recycling. Grateful to have connected with Anushk Gupta.During the convo, I learnt that plastic is a go-to material for lab products due to its cost-effectiveness, durability, and versatility. However, labs generate immense plastic waste, with over 60% ending up in landfills or incinerated. Research Recycling seeks to bridge this gap by facilitating dialogue and collaboration among industry leaders to reduce plastic waste in labs, while driving best practices and innovative solutions. Looking forward to more fruitful conversations.   It is a pleasure to connect with such like minded people who work for betterment of the world at large. Always up for connecting and sharing ideas—whether it's about sustainability or anything else that sparks a good convo. Let's keep it fun, easy, and resourceful.

At Research Recycling, we are always excited to connect with sustainability leaders around the globe. Recently, we had a great conversation with Aarya B., sustainability executive at Nirantara and co-founder of Ashwas, a non-profit working with over 15,000 volunteers to promote environmental education and sustainability. One of the key takeaways from our discussion was about Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in India. EPR is emerging as a vital policy tool in the country, holding companies accountable for the recycling and disposal of the waste they generate. While the concept has gained traction, particularly in e-waste and plastic waste management, there are still significant challenges to overcome. 💡 EPR in India: ➖ EPR initially focused on e-waste and has now expanded to plastic waste. Under the policy, companies are required to recycle or purchase plastic credits equivalent to the amount of plastic they use. ➖ Purpose: Government initiatives are pushing for more aggressive mandates, aiming to reduce the visible environmental damage caused by plastic waste, such as litter and animals consuming it. ➖ Challenges: India faces a lack of segregation methods, low demand for recycled resins, and limited infrastructure, making it difficult for businesses to meet recycling targets. We’re grateful to Aarya for her insights on EPR and the growing opportunities to improve waste management in India. Leave a comment below if you’d like to share your story. Let’s work together towards a future of zero emissions and zero waste! #Sustainability #EPR #ExtendedProducerResponsibility #Recycling #WasteManagement #EnvironmentalAdvocacy #India #CircularEconomy #ResearchRecycling #PlasticWaste #Ewaste #SustainabilityEducation

Plastics are critical to modern life and are here to stay. However, plastic waste presents a severe environmental, economic, and societal challenge. At current pace, plastics will outweigh fish in the ocean by 2060. India alone generates 10 million to 12 million metric tons of plastic waste every year, much of which remains unrecovered or mismanaged. Tackling this challenge will require solutions across the entire value chain from plastic production and usage to collection & sorting, as well as recycling and usage of recyclates. This is only possible via tight collaboration across producers, brand owners, industrial stakeholders and government. Our latest report with the Confederation of Indian Industry, "Solving Plastic Waste: Roadmap for a Sustainable Future," lays out a transformative path forward to address this challenge.

India produces a whopping 3.4 million tonnes of plastic waste every year! 😱 This highlights the urgent need for sustainable solutions to tackle the problem. 💪 🌍 Plastic waste is a major concern for the environment and poses a threat to human health. The waste often ends up in landfills, polluting the soil and water bodies, which can have detrimental effects on the ecosystem and wildlife. 🔥 When burned, plastic waste releases toxic chemicals that can cause serious health problems. 👨💼 The Indian government has been taking measures to address the issue, including banning single-use plastics, promoting recycling and waste segregation, and encouraging the use of eco-friendly alternatives. However, much more needs to be done to effectively tackle the problem. 💚 Overall, the generation of 3.4 million tonnes of plastic waste in India each year is a wake-up call for the country to take stronger action towards sustainable waste management practices and reduce its environmental impact. 🌱 #PlasticAwareness #SustainableLiving #ReducePlasticWaste #TogetherForThePlanet #EPRCertificateonline #ERP #ExtendedProducerResponsibility #Waste #Recycle #WasteManagement #Government #ERPSolution #Producers #Importers #BrandOwners #ERP #Waste #WasteCollection #EPRLiability #govt #Government #ExtendedProducer #brandowner #erpsolution
