"A CLEANER PLANET WILL BE ACHIEVED THROUGH SCALING REGENERATIVE PACKAGING SOLUTIONS"

Can you provide an overview of Yash Pakka Limited's manufacturing unit and its operations?

Currently, through our key product offerings, we provide compostable base material for packaging and compostable tableware designed for dine-in and delivery purposes.

As Yash Pakka, we specialise in compostable solutions for the food industry including food packaging, food carry and food service. Our manufacturing process relies on bagasse, an agricultural residue derived from sugarcane, as the primary raw material. This raw material is procured from sugar companies within a radius of 200-250 km.

Currently, through our key product offerings, we provide compostable base material for packaging and compostable tableware designed for dine-in and delivery purposes.

Some of our eco-friendly practices in the manufacturing process include 100 per cent self-generated biomass energy, recovery of 95 per cent cooking chemicals and being off grid as we are completely self-sustained for electricity.

To further demonstrate our dedication to eco-friendly practices, we employ several measures during the manufacturing process. Firstly, we generate 100 per cent of the required biomass energy internally, minimising our reliance on external energy sources. Additionally, we ensure the recovery of 95 per cent of the cooking chemicals used in our operations. Finally, our self-sustaining electricity infrastructure allows us to function independently from the grid, contributing to our overall off-grid status.

By implementing these initiatives, we strive to maintain a responsible and environmentally conscious approach to manufacturing compostable solutions for the food industry.
