Tata Consumer Products urges for repurposing & upcycling product packaging

Delhi: Tata Consumer Products, in line with one of the sustainability pillars—For Better Planet— has launched a social media campaign aimed at celebrating human ingenuity and creativity by urging its followers to repurpose and upcycle its product packaging. 

Conceptualised and ideated by Schbang, the campaign by Tata Consumer Products was executed to align with World Environment Day.

Participants submitted entries, showcasing ways to repurpose product packaging. Examples ranged from using Tata Salt packets as plant pots to repurposing bottles as organisers for stationery on work desks. 

Tarun N P Varma, Global Chief Human Resources and Sustainability Officer, Tata Consumer Products, said, “At Tata Consumer Products, we are of the belief that waste is not to be wasted, which drives our circularity strategy. We actively pursue various levers internally to drive innovation in packaging and waste management. Campaigns like this, help us engage with our consumers and communities to co-create newer ways of thinking and lasting solutions – fostering collective action for a more sustainable future.” 

Harshil Karia, Founder, Schbang, said, “At Schbang, we are passionate about driving meaningful change through crafting and building on brand stories. The core insight we wanted to tap into is that people often repurpose product packaging as a part of their everyday lives, but it is not a very celebrated activity in comparison to the new trends in sustainable living. We believed that a brand, like Tata Consumer Products, which stands "#ForBetter" promoting consumer-driven packaging reuse, would give more visibility to this creative practice, and inspire more people to adopt it in their daily lives."
