Indian food packaging employs bioplastics for a range of items, such as flexible films, trays, and cutlery. Starch-based bioplastics serve as a substitute for polystyrene in tableware and coffee capsules, while PLA is used as a substitute for conventional plastics in clear containers. The growth of the market in the food and beverage packaging industry is fueled by the growing use of environmentally friendly alternatives among consumers.
- For instance, in May 2025, Food and beverage packaging contributes more than 84% of plastic waste in the environmentally conscious Himalayas, according to an anti-waste collective of NGOs. The Zero Waste Himalaya Alliance has concluded that nearly 70% of the plastics collected from the Himalayan belt, ranging from Ladakh to Arunachal Pradesh, are not recyclable and do not possess market value.
- In February 2025, Tetra Pak introduced packaging materials in India that combine certified recycled polymers, the first in India's food and beverage packaging industry. The move is geared towards minimizing plastic waste and promoting the use of recycled material, as per the Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change's Plastic Waste Management directive. The carton packages consist of 5% certified recycled polymers, which are sourced using chemical recycling technology incorporating a mixture of recycled and non-recycled material.
