At an inaugural session’s keynote address at the 10th Edition of the Summit, Ashok Chaturvedi, Founder, Chairman, and Managing Director, UFlex Group, highlighted how technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and enzymatic processing can accelerate sustainable innovation in flexible packaging.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>He reflected on the evolution of the plastics industry, stating, “Back in the 1960s, when chemical companies were developing large-scale plastic production facilities, they coined the slogan: If you want to save the planet, use plastic. We truly believe that today, if producers can reach consumers globally, it is possible only because of flexible packaging. Historically, when chemical companies were producing plastic in the 60’s, they had to struggle with their selling proposition, and the production size used to be 1500 tons per year. Today, the production size has increased to a million tons per year. MLP (multi-layer plastic) as opposed to mono-material packaging, coupled with a robust recycling ecosystem and bio-enzyme technology, will propel the industry to the next phase of growth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>“Today, whatever we are producing needs to be recycled. At UFlex, we have made significant investments in industrial and MLP (multi-layer mixed plastic) waste recycling facilities across our global locations and, very recently, in enzyme-based delamination and recycling technology for aseptic packaging. We should continue to focus on mechanical recycling. Chemical recycling may not be happening today but will happen in the future,” he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>Chaturvedi reiterated the need to use machinery and AI to collect and sort waste rather than allowing waste workers to do that manually. “That is not the most effective or sustainable way of creating employment for the marginalized waste workers,” he emphasized. “Waste collection and adequate access to post-consumer waste is one of the biggest problems that we face in India. It is critical to recognize that it is not the process of recycling that presents the most significant hurdle in addressing plastic pollution. Rather, it is the efficient and holistic collection and management of plastic waste that emerges as the cornerstone of our battle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>The event featured specialized sessions dedicated to sustainability with panel discussions on the critical issues facing the industry with eminent speakers from the Central Pollution Control Board of India (CPCB), the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MOEF), and the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) of the Government of India.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>The Summit included keynote addresses by Ashok Chaturvedi, Founder, Chairman & Managing Director, UFlex Group; Nilesh Shah, Group President & MD, Kotak Mahindra Asset Management Co Ltd; Prabh Das, Managing Director & CEO, HPCL-Mittal Energy Ltd; Prabha Narasimhan, Managing Director & CEO, Colgate-Palmolive (India) Ltd; and Harsh Mariwala, Founder and Chairman, Marico Ltd.

A standout keynote by Ashok Chaturvedi, CMD of UFlex Group, provided a compelling roadmap for the sector, focusing on the integration of AI, machine learning, and advanced enzymatic processing. Chaturvedi made a critical point: the industry's biggest challenge isn't just the recycling process itself, but the efficient collection and management of post-consumer waste. By moving away from manual sorting and embracing technological solutions, the industry can better protect the environment while scaling production. As we navigate the evolving FMCG landscape, these innovations in multi-layer plastic recycling are essential for building a truly circular economy. #FlexiblePackaging #SustainableManufacturing #CircularEconomy","AI, machine learning, and enzyme tech: The future of flexible packaging is here.
