Being one of the Ayurvedic FMCG Company, Dabur has strived hard and has become the first Indian plastic waste neutral company. In Financial Year 2020-2021, Dabur has collected, processed, and recycled over 27,000 metric tonnes of post-consumer plastic waste, thereby contributing towards the goal of a green environment.
Shahrukh A. Khan, the executive director- Operation of Dabur India Limited, emphasized this achievement and said, “It is a matter of great pride for the entire Dabur family, who have worked towards not just collecting plastic waste from our cities, towns, and villages, but also preventing the waste from reaching our landfills and oceans. This includes all types of plastic waste, from PET and HDPE bottles, PP caps and labels to multi-layered plastics and beverage cartons.”
Dabur’s team has set targets for collection, processing, and recycling post-consumption plastic waste. It has achieved its target of recycling 2,000MT of post-consumer waste three months ahead of schedule and aims to surpass future targets.
Additionally, the executive director added, “We work with government-registered recycling partners across the country and have taken progressive actions to reduce plastic waste in cities, towns, villages, while also raising awareness about plastic waste management within the community. The collected plastic waste is being sent to different Recyclers, Waste-to-Energy Plants, and Cement Kilns.”
