Leading sustainable packaging with bagasse-based solutions
Yash Pakka provides packaging solutions in paper and compostable tableware. The company’s bagasse fiber-based products are compostable, fossil-free, and low-carbon alternatives integrating bio-based solutions that provide a green alternative to single-use plastic, styrofoam, and other fossil-based materials. Yash Pakka’s target is a green and circular economy comprising materials that are renewable, recyclable, and can easily go back to Earth. This is an effective approach in minimizing waste and combating climate change.
AFRY’s basic engineering study contains a specialty paper machine of 100 MT per day to lead towards flexible packaging with furnish, utilising the maximum strength of agro residue bagass, biofuel-based 10 MW of Cogen plant, pulp capacity enhancement by augmentation of the Pulp Mill by another 75%, as well as support infrastructure in line with increased output of pulp and paper machine.
We are proud to be selected Yash Pakka’s partner in their innovative and environmentally friendly production expansion project. Capturing the full potential of bio-based industries will be an enabler in mitigating climate change. By increasing the value of bio-based materials, reducing waste and embracing circular solutions, we will reach higher resource efficiency.
