Sustainable Packaging

A new vector of the ITC Next vision is the focus on sustainable packaging, to address single use plastic substitution with scalable, innovative, and eco-friendly solutions. ITC's Paperboards, Packaging and Printing Businesses, with support from the state-of-the-art ITC Life Sciences and Technology Centre (LSTC), continue to craft cutting-edge sustainable packaging solutions that align with consumer needs and environmental standards. ITC leverages the expertise of its Centre of Excellence in Material Sciences to progress its sustainable packaging strategy. Sustainable Packaging & Material Sciences.

ITC has commissioned a state-of-the-art Moulded Fibre Products manufacturing facility in Madhya Pradesh to provide futuristic packaging solutions made from renewable natural fibres such as wood, bamboo, bagasse, waste paper etc.

Our FMCG businesses have also spearheaded the adoption of sustainable materials in their packaging.

We have adopted a 3-prong strategy for Sustainable Packaging

  • Better Plastics
  • Less Plastics
  • No Plastics

We are working towards ensuring that 100% of our packaging is reusable, recyclable or biodegradable by:

  • Improving recyclability of multi-layer laminate packaging and phasing-out hard-to-recycle plastics
  • Exploring alternative packaging materials with lower environmental impact, including bio-based compostable plastics
  • Exploring refillable/reusable models
