1. Om Packaging’s Role in Supporting India’s Circular Economy Goals As India strides towards sustainable development, the concept of a circular economy has gained significant momentum. Moving away from the traditional linear “take-make-dispose” model, the circular economy emphasizes resource efficiency, waste reduction, and product life extension. At the heart of this transition is responsible packaging — a sector where Om Packaging has played a crucial and pioneering role. Through innovative solutions and a commitment to sustainability, Om Packaging is helping India meet its circular economy goals, creating value for businesses, consumers, and the environment alike. Understanding the Circular Economy and Its Importance in India A circular economy is an economic system designed to eliminate waste and continually use resources. It involves designing products for durability, reuse, and recyclability, ensuring materials remain in the economy for as long as possible. For a rapidly growing economy like India, with its burgeoning population and increasing consumption patterns, adopting a circular economy is vital to: ● Reduce environmental degradation Conserve natural resources Cut greenhouse gas emissions ● ●

2. ● Foster economic growth through sustainable business models Packaging waste, especially plastic and non-biodegradable materials, poses one of the biggest challenges to this transition. According to recent studies, India generates millions of tonnes of packaging waste annually, much of which ends up in landfills or the natural environment. This waste burden has accelerated the need for companies to adopt eco friendly packaging solutions that align with circular economy principles. Om Packaging’s Commitment to Sustainable Packaging As a leading packaging company, Om Packaging has embedded sustainability at the core of its business strategy. Recognizing the role packaging plays in resource consumption and waste generation, the company offers a wide range of eco friendly packaging products that support reuse, recycling, and biodegradability.
