Mumbai: Pluckk, an environment-friendly food-tech venture based here, has said it aims to collect 6000 kgs of plastic waste from getting into landfills, oceans & dumping grounds.
The company is also looking at more innovative solutions to go plastic-free, according to a press statement issued by it.
“Of the seven billion tonnes of plastic waste that is generated globally, only 10% gets recycled. This leaves a huge scope for companies to act responsibly and work towards bridging that gap,” Pluckk CEO Pratik Gupta was quoted as saying.
The company has recently become the 1st Food and Vegetable brand of the country to be certified as “Plastic Neutral”, the statement said.
“We aim to recycle much more plastic than we consume for our daily packaging. We are keenly aware of the plastic distributed with orders and want to adopt a 360-degree plan to reduce our plastic consumption in our endeavour to protect the environment,” Gupta said.
Pluckk’s Plastic-Return initiative allows customers to return the plastic packaging of their orders during the delivery of their next order.
Furthermore, customers in Mumbai can also organise pick-ups of plastic waste using ReCircle’s Plastic Collection facilities.
