Leading

sustainably

EPL won Excellence award in the Rigid Packaging category under the Innovation in Design, for its pioneering work in designing recyclable rigid plastic packaging. This achievement reflects our commitment to driving circular economy practices and creating packaging solutions that are better for the planet.

The CII Sustainable Packaging Awards celebrate innovations that Eliminate, Innovate, and Circulate—key pillars for a sustainable future.

What makes this recognition even more special is that it’s a joint award with Colgate-Palmolive India. The highlight—and the reason we earned this honour—was achieving a 100% implementation and transition for CP. While I had the privilege of receiving the award on behalf of EPL Ltd, I dedicate this achievement to our incredible India team for their relentless efforts in making this transition a reality.
