## Pouch Innovation

## Voices of Change

## Curious About the Pouch?

01.

## What technology is used in the new naturally degradable milk pouch, and how does it break down in soil?

+

This is a first-of-its-kind milk packaging, introduced by Mother Dairy in India, that transforms into bioavailable wax, which is naturally broken down by microbes present in the soil to turn it into natural elements within few years.

02.

## What sets this new pouch apart from currently available recyclable milk pouches?

+

With this new naturally degradable milk packaging, Mother Dairy is taking an additional step towards enhancing sustainability and reducing the impact on the environment. While these milk pouches will continue to remain recyclable, as before, the key differentiator lies in their ability to degrade to natural elements within few years. This helps in addressing the challenge of fugitive plastic and contributing towards a cleaner ecosystem.

03.

## Has the packaging been tested by an independent lab or certification body?

+

Yes, the packaging has been tested as per ISO/ IS/ OECD for Biodegradability, Eco-Toxicity & Heavy Metal analysis extensively in an independent NABL accredited Lab.

04.

## Does the pouch leave behind microplastics or any residue after it degrades?

+

No.

05.

## Where is this packaging being introduced first? Will the same naturally degradable pouch be rolled out for all other milk variants/dairy products too?
