ecofriendly packaging

Packaged consumer goods firm Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) on Tuesday announced the launch of a programme that will offer grants and mentorship to Indian tech startups working in the area of plastic waste management and circularity.

The ‘Transform Plastics Challenge’ is a joint initiative between Unilever, the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), and EY, in collaboration with Social Alpha.

Arctic Glacier’s shift to 51% recycled content packaging represents a 46% reduction in global warming potential impacts compared to the industry standard generic polyfilm. “We are thrilled to pioneer sustainable packaging for the ice industry. Supporting a circular economy with recycled content packaging is an important aspect of our forward-looking ESG strategy focused on creating a greener supply chain and supporting safer work environments through ethical business practices,” said Richard Wyckoff, CEO and President of Arctic Glacier, LLC.
