The problem with greenwashing
“Compostable”
— but only in industrial facilities that don't exist in most Indian cities
“Plant-based”
— but the polymer chain is identical to petroleum-based plastics
“Eco-friendly”
— a marketing term with zero legal or scientific definition in India
What we haven’t proven yet
It would be inconsistent to write the above and then make unbacked claims of our own. So, plainly:
- Independent CPPRI re-pulpability testing — in progress through our manufacturing partner.
- CIPET compostability testing to IS 17088 — in progress.
- Our own CPCB EPR registration as a Brand Owner — in progress.
We will publish each report and registration number here as it is issued. Until then we describe our cups by what they are made of rather than by certificates we do not hold: an aqueous, water-based coating with no PE film and no PLA lining.
A supplier who tells you what they haven’t proven is more useful than one who claims everything.
How long does your cup last after you throw it away?
