Being a paint manufacturing industry, our major input raw materials comprise pigments, binders, additives and solvents. We consciously use these materials and embrace resource efficiency. We continuously strive to reduce our material losses and achieve the conversion of raw materials into finished goods to the maximum extent.
Packaging Material
In FY 2022-23, we consumed 30,847 MT of packing material, including metal tins, drums, plastic barrels, containers, and plastic bags. At present, we have initiated using recycled plastic in our plastic containers for specific products. Going forward, we intend to increase the content of recycled materials in our packaging and extend to other range of products as well. We work closely with our value chain partners to meet the common goal and drive sustainable packaging.
