Hindustan Unilever Limited has been working on safe recovery and recycling of over 1 lakh tons of plastic through an EPR programme covering more than 100 towns across India. 2021 onwards it will collect and process more plastic packaging waste than the plastic in packaging used by it. The Company will enable processing of over 1 lakh tons of post-consumer plastic waste through collection from all of the states and Union Territories.
Since 2018, HUL has facilitated environmentally safe disposal of more than 1.2 lakh tons of post-consumer-use plastic waste. In 2020, despite the Covid pandemic, the Company stepped up its efforts in the reduction of plastic waste. This has been made possible through investment and partnerships to improve the waste management infrastructure in over 100 towns across India.
HUL与各种组织合作，收集塑料废物，包括Saahas，Carpe，Recykal，Planet Savers，Raddiconnect，Geoycle，Ramky Enviro。通过其合作伙伴和市政公司的支持，该公司已与住房社会和商业机构联系，以改善塑料废物的收集。
该公司还与联合国发展计划（UNDP）和国际组织Xynteo合作。通过这些合作伙伴关系，在孟买建立了物质恢复设施，以证明包容性端到端废物管理解决方案的可行性。除此之外，马哈拉施特拉邦，HUL和Xynteo的教育部还推出了一项数字学校课程，重点是隔离，收集和安全处理废物的重要性。去年，该计划在马哈拉施特拉邦（Maharashtra）到达了近十万名儿童，目前正在全州进行扩展。
Sanjiv Mehta, Chairman and Managing Director, HUL, said, “Our vision is one where key stakeholders work together to ensure that plastic stays in the economy and out of the environment. As a responsible company, we are committed to playing our part. We believe that this is a collective responsibility, and each stakeholder needs to play an active role in managing plastic waste to fulfil the vision of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.“
HUL供应链执行董事Willem Uijen解释说：“这与我们对循环经济所做的承诺一致。我们已经开始实施针对塑料废物管理的拟议扩展生产者责任（EPR）框架。HUL还开发了一个合作伙伴的生态系统，使塑料包装浪费的收集和安全处理。现在，我们已经扩大了与我们以前认为的可能性相比，比总塑料足迹收集更多的塑料包装浪费。”
Carpe首席执行官Natasha Zarine（应用研究和人民参与中心）说：“在HUL的支持下，我们自2018年以来以安全和环境友好的方式进行了大量塑料废物。该伙伴关系还有助于对收集废物收集的工人的生活产生积极影响。HUL一直是在印度实施EPR的先驱，他们的支持帮助我们的初创企业发展并扩展到了新的领土。这有助于我们努力实现我们对Swachh Bharat的民族野心”。
