Amway India claims to have become ‘Pre- and Post-Consumer Plastic Waste Neutral’ after having managed 100 percent post-consumer plastic waste based on its Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) collection and recycled 100 percent pre-consumer plastic waste generated at the Amway manufacturing facility.
The company has collected and recycled 800 metric tonnes of post-consumer plastic waste, which is equivalent to managing over 50 million units of plastic product waste comprising bottles, tubes, caps, jars, and sachets of different sizes. Additionally, it claims to have recycled and reused 100 percent hazardous products and plastic waste at its manufacturing plant to achieve pre-plastic waste neutrality. Associate vice president, Regulatory Affairs, Amway India, Adip Roy said, “At Amway, our commitment to a healthy planet reflects in our products, processes, and philosophies. Sustainability is not just about compliance but is an intrinsic part of Amway’s culture.
Achieving pre- and post-consumer plastic waste neutrality is one of our key milestones. As we move forward, we will continue to explore ways to reduce plastic waste pollution and in line with what we are envisaging by making our product bottles from recycled plastics.”
