    UFlex Joins Alliance to End Plastic Waste

    Strengthens UFlex’s global mission of building a circular plastic economy.

    UFlex Joins Alliance to End Plastic Waste
    09.21.21
    UFlex, India’s largest flexible packaging company, has become a member of Alliance to End Plastic Waste, a global non-profit organization with a mission to eliminate plastic waste in the environment.

    UFlex’s steadfast commitment to tackle the problem of plastic waste and its expertise to derive solutions and technologies that help recover and recycle post-consumer plastic waste and help plastic find a purpose beyond its original use, has earned it a membership berth with the Alliance.

    Through this affiliation, UFlex aims to contribute to and guide the Alliance and its members about sustainability practices that it has been following for years to mitigate plastic waste issues, thus globalizing these practices. With support from the Alliance, UFlex also intends to promote and drive sustainable actions within the regions where it is present as a packaging company.

    Founded in 2019, Alliance today has convened a global network of corporations, project partners, and supporters across the plastics value chain.

    “As the issue of plastic waste moves up in the global sustainability agenda, our mission to develop, deploy and scale solutions to end plastic waste in the environment is more relevant than ever before,” said Jacob Duer, president and CEO of the Alliance. “Strengthening participation across the plastics value chain with UFlex will help accelerate our collective efforts. Together, we can work towards helping to create a more sustainable future and I look forward to a fruitful partnership.”

    As an industry leader in building sustainable flexible packaging solutions, UFlex values conservation of planet over profits and believes in the approach of 4Rs to tackle the challenge of reducing stock and flow of plastic waste in the environment:

    • Reduce plastic at source by manufacturing and using films made from PCR.
    • Recycle via upcycling and downcycling of MLP (multi-layered plastic) and PET bottles.
    • Reuse as source substitution via Pyrolysis.
    • Return to the planet in the form of biomass, if the plastic waste remains uncollected.

    Under its global sustainability initiative “Project Plastic Fix,” in early 2020 UFlex extended its efforts to include post-consumer plastic waste by setting up lines, at its plant in headquarter city Noida, to recycle as well as upcycle post-consumer MLP mixed plastic waste and PET bottle waste into PCR grade packaging films (PCR PET and PCR PE) and injections molding equipment.

    UFlex is scaling up its recycling infrastructure with the commissioning of similar facilities in Mexico and Poland to repurpose plastic waste coming from households locally. Moreover, it is developing enzyme-based biodegradable solution that converts uncollected plastic waste into biomass.

    “The plastic waste crisis is one of the most pressing global concerns of today and as a socially conscious organization that has sustainability firmly entrenched at its very soul, we are aware that we need to find a solution collectively to enable co-existence of plastic and human race,” said Ashok Chaturvedi, UFlex chairman and managing director.

    “The Alliance is the ideal forum for us to bolster our efforts and re-write the overall story of how plastic waste can be repurposed for good,” Chaturvedi added. “At UFlex, we strongly believe that the path to a plastic waste free environment is possible with a combination of recycling (mechanical and chemical) and biodegradability. Through our association with the Alliance, we look forward to sharing our knowledge with like-minded global leaders while learning from their approaches to build a circular economy forever.”
