Gov- ernments, as well as consumer groups, want the packaging in- dustry to own up for the mess it creates in the environment in its post consumer-use state. This means that the packag- ing industry must not only produce effective packaging with good shelf-life and shelf- appeal, but also innovate mate- rials and processes that reduce the amount of packaging need- ed to make it recyclable,” says Deepak Manchanda, a former packaging head with numerous brands across the country.
