Deepak Chhabra, Managing Director, Tupperware India, said “We are pleased to see that our consistent effort towards eliminating the use of SUP, has found a strong voice in the government, with Honorable PM, giving out a clarion call on elimination of SUP from India. Presently  there is huge awareness around the need to switch over from SUP to environmentally friendly alternatives. Our global vision “No time to waste” is also aimed at significantly reducing plastic and food waste through product innovation, packaging reduction, operational goals and strategic partnerships”.
