Recycled PET mandate accelerates sustainable packaging adoption nationwide.

Thimmiah Napanda, Managing Director & CEO, Alternicq, welcomed the government’s mandate for 40% recycled content in food-grade packaging, describing it as a key step towards closing the loop on packaging and reducing waste leakage into landfills and oceans. He emphasized that scaling recycled content while maintaining quality, safety and performance requires significant R&D, innovation and advanced manufacturing capabilities. As a leader in rigid plastic packaging, which is inherently 100% recyclable, Alternicq sees the regulation as a strong catalyst for accelerating circularity and sustainable packaging adoption across the industry.
