UFlex Ltd Revolutionizes Food Packaging with New Single-Pellet Solution

UFlex Ltd introduces an FSSAI-compliant single-pellet solution integrating recycled and virgin PET for food and beverage packaging. This innovation aids brands in complying with new regulations requiring 30% recycled content in packaging. UFlex's Rs 317 crore investment in recycling plants underscores its commitment to sustainable packaging.

UFlex Ltd, a prominent player in flexible packaging, has launched an FSSAI-compliant single-pellet solution that integrates recycled PET with virgin PET for use in food and beverage packaging. This innovation eliminates the need for manufacturers to separately purchase and mix materials, thus streamlining the packaging process.

Joint President of the Packaging Films Business at UFlex Ltd, Ashish Saxena, emphasized that this new product will be instrumental for brands striving to meet Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) compliance under the updated FSSAI guidelines. Saxena stated that the company aims to set a benchmark for responsible and scalable packaging solutions.

The recent Rs 317 crore investment in two new recycling plants in Noida further strengthens UFlex's commitment to India's vision for improved plastic waste management. From April 1, 2025, brands must ensure at least 30% recycled content in rigid plastic packaging, in compliance with the new regulations.
