At VIMONI India Pvt Ltd, we believe packaging is more than just a protective layer—it is a responsibility. For decades, plastics have transformed industries because of their unique properties: they are light, durable, chemically safe, and cost-effective. Packaging, in particular, accounts for the largest share of plastics consumed worldwide. In India alone, nearly 56% of plastics are used for packaging applications, underlining its critical role in protecting products, reducing waste, and enabling accessibility.
Yet, we also acknowledge the challenge. A staggering 95% of plastic packaging material is lost to the economy after a short initial use, and globally, nearly a third of packaging remains uncollected. This not only represents a massive economic loss but also contributes to environmental stress. At VIMONI, we see this as an opportunity to rethink and redesign packaging solutions that protect products while safeguarding the planet.
Building Sustainability into Design
Effective solutions must span the entire plastics value chain. That is why our focus is on:
- Eliminating unnecessary materials that serve little functional purpose.
- Designing for recyclability and reusability—ensuring our rigid packaging can seamlessly enter recycling streams.
- Innovating with compostable and recycled content where feasible.
- Minimizing resource use by optimizing weight and structure without compromising strength.
For us, sustainability begins at the drawing board. We ask the tough questions before a design reaches the production floor: Can this packaging be easily collected and recognized by consumers? Can it be sorted? Can it be remade into something valuable?
Why Rigid Packaging Matters
Rigid formats—such as bottles, jars, tubs, and trays—represent a low-hanging fruit in India’s sustainability journey. Nearly one-third of the country’s packaging market consists of rigids, used across personal care, home care, beverages, and pharmaceuticals. Unlike flexible packaging, rigids are typically mono-polymer structures, making them far easier to recycle. India’s collection and recycling systems are already well-aligned to handle rigid formats, which is why they dominate current recycling flows.
At VIMONI, this inherent advantage inspires us to push innovation further. By combining precision mold design, advanced manufacturing, and recyclable structures, we ensure our packaging is both technically recyclable and practically recyclable—a crucial distinction that guarantees true circularity.
Aligned with India’s EPR Guidelines
The Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Guidelines introduced under India’s Plastic Waste Management Rules mark a turning point for our industry. Manufacturers are now accountable for collecting, recycling, and reusing plastic packaging. At VIMONI, we welcome this shift. It aligns seamlessly with our long-standing philosophy of responsibility and innovation. By embedding recycled content in our packaging and driving design improvements, we not only meet compliance but also champion leadership in sustainable practices.
Shaping the Future of Packaging
At VIMONI, rigid packaging is not just a product—it’s a promise. A promise to protect what matters, to minimize waste, and to reimagine plastics in a circular economy. Together with our clients and partners, we are building packaging solutions that are innovative, sustainable, and future-ready.
