The report takes a comprehensive look at the significant waste management challenges India faces because of population growth, accelerated urban expansion, the availability of waste management services and changing consumer buying habits across food, grocery, and e-tail.The report also defines 10 Golden Rules that e-commerce and delivery platforms can implement to tackle the issue of packaging waste and remove barriers to making sustainability a scalable option for business in India. Specifically, the report addresses how businesses can reduce packaging waste, increase recycling rates, and foster innovation in regenerative materials, thereby contributing to a greener and more sustainable future.The 10 Golden Rules defined in the Scaling Sustainable Packaging report are:1. Reduce packaging through design and logistics.2. Remove problematic and unnecessary elements.3. Reduce virgin material and increase recycled content.4. Replace petrochemical-based plastics with low-impact and regenerative materials.5. Adopt and scale reuse models.6. Promote reuse models and sustainable options with partners and consumers.7.

Create scale through collaboration.PayU India is actively committed to sustainability and driving positive change through responsible business practices. The company has a comprehensive sustainability strategy that covers multiple initiatives. By making a conscious shift to recycled paper products, for an annual consumption of approximately 0.5 tons, PayU achieved a marked reduction in energy (31%), water waste (53%) and solid waste (39%). By moving to Green Garbage Bags, PayU has saved almost 2 tonnes of plastic waste and 1 kg of carbon emission per kg of a garbage bag. The company's annual CO2 emission saving was reduced to 1.35 tonnes and 31.68 tonnes by transitioning to EV vehicles and glass bottles."PayU is playing a leadership role by engaging with its extended customer base of merchants using its payments gateway platform," said Prajna Khanna, Global Head of Sustainability at Prosus Group."By leveraging its relationship with its broad ecosystems of businesses serving millions of customers daily, the potential for driving real impact is immense. With consumption patterns changing radically from physical world retail to online buying and e-tail, delivery platforms have an important role to play in tackling waste from packaging. These ten rules support the scaling of sustainable packaging by delivery platforms.""At PayU, we are working in alignment with RBI's vision on climate and sustainable finance and have started to incorporate ESG principles in our business strategy for the move towards low carbon environment in India and the world at large," said Mohit Gopal, COO at PayU India. "Sustainable packaging is not just an obligation but an opportunity to reimagine how we do business. We can inspire and empower our business partners to adopt sustainable packaging practices by harnessing technology and leveraging our extensive network. Together, we can create a ripple effect that resonates far beyond our industry, creating a legacy of sustainability for generations to come."According to data from the 'A Progressive Shift from Transactions to Trust' report released by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI), the e-commerce industry in India is projected to reach $188 billion by 2025, and the volume of packaging waste is expected to rise by 30%.
