Waste is a two-sided problem in the consumer goods industry. Some products are disposed of for multiple reasons; on the other side, the waste is generated through packaging. There has been an increasing amount of single-use plastic and waste produced by consumer goods companies.
Companies need to be more mindful of the waste generated throughout their value chain. Companies like Procter & Gamble and Dabur India recently announced that they have achieved 'plastic waste neutrality’ by recycling a big chunk of their post-consumer plastic packaging waste. Companies have been under pressure to manage waste to be environmentally sustainable and increase consumer awareness. Being responsible for the environment helps companies attract new customers as consumers prefer to do business with companies that share their values.
