HCCB distributes 22,000 cotton bags to encourage use of sustainable materials

MUMBAI: Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages (HCCB) distributed 22,000 cotton bags at a series of events around four of its factories located at Ameenpur near Hyderabad, Jalpaiguri near Siliguri, Srikalahasti near Chittoor and Goblej near Ahmedabad.

The exercise undertaken by the FMCG company aligns with the government’s efforts of encouraging the use of sustainable materials.

The bags were distributed at Expos organised by HCCB for generating awareness around water, waste management and sustainable agricultural methods, the company said in a press release. About 44,000 visitors participated in the events.


“People throughout the year visit our factories to learn more about manufacturing processes, digital interventions, quality practices etc. We used this insight and created temporary set-ups at our factories where we could disseminate information and create awareness around waste management, water management, reduction in single-use plastic usage, and use of digital technology for skill building,” a company spokesperson said.
