Procter & Gamble India said it had become ‘plastic waste neutral’ in FY22.
The company said it had collected, processed, and recycled over 19,000 MT of post-consumer plastic packaging waste from across the country, which was more than the amount of plastic packaging in its products sold in a year.
The company said it was working with recycling partners across 75 cities in India to collect plastic, which is then sent to different recyclers, waste-to-energy plants, and cement kilns. In addition to recycling, the company said it had also “made a deliberate effort to reduce the packaging material and in the last five years, had reduced usage of packaging material by more than 5,000 MT.”
Madhusudan Gopalan, CEO, Procter & Gamble – Indian Sub-Continent said, “We are also taking a deliberate approach to reducing the impact of our operations, and setting up in-house solar plants is a step in this direction. We have made strong progress across our brands, our supply chain, [and] our operations with support from our partners and employees.”
“We are fully committed to making a positive impact in the world and creating a sustainable future for generations to come,” he added.
