The Indian Institute of Packaging (IIP) and Ukhi, a provider of sustainable solutions, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to promote sustainable packaging solutions in the country.

The agreement, which was signed by IIP director R K Mishra and Ukhi co-founder and CEO Vishal Vivek, coincided with the inauguration of the Advanced Sustainable Packaging Laboratory in India.

Under the terms of the MoU, the two organisations will embark on joint research and development (R&D) initiatives focused on sustainable packaging materials and technologies.

They will also engage in training and capacity-building programmes for industry professionals while aiming to raise awareness about the importance of eco-friendly packaging solutions.

Furthermore, the partnership will spearhead efforts to tackle packaging waste and improve recyclability, setting new standards within the industry.

Mishra said: “The Indian Institute of Packaging is thrilled to partner with Ukhi. Together, we aim to revolutionise the packaging industry by focusing on sustainability, innovation, and education.

The Indian Institute of Packaging (IIP) is a national apex body which was set up in 1966 by the packaging and allied industries and the Ministry of Commerce, Government of India, with the specific objective of improving the packaging standards in the country.

The Institute is an autonomous body working under the administrative control of the Ministry of Commerce. “This MoU is a significant step toward achieving our vision of creating a greener and more efficient packaging ecosystem.”

Ukhi is a company that develops biodegradable biomaterials from agricultural waste to reduce plastic pollution and global warming. Vivek added: “At Ukhi, we believe in creating a sustainable future through innovation.

“This collaboration with IIP will enable us to combine our expertise with their technical excellence to develop packaging solutions that not only meet industry standards but also contribute to environmental conservation.”

Earlier this month, UFlex partnered with IIP to boost recycling awareness, promote a circular economy, and drive sustainable packaging innovations. The Indian Institute of Packaging (IIP) is an autonomous body that works to improve packaging standards
