Amazon ties up with IIT Roorkee to develop packaging material from agri waste

Bengaluru: Amazon India has announced a collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee to develop packaging materials from agricultural waste. This project aims to create non-wood paper technology that diverts agri waste from burning while reducing pressure on virgin wood pulp. Amazon says that these packaging materials are expected to be lightweight yet strong, and offer recyclable and home-compostable alternatives to traditional wood pulp paper or plastic bags. #sr_widget.onDemand p, #stock_pro.onDemand p{font-size: 14px;line-height: 1.28;} .onDemand .live_stock{left:17px;padding:1px 3px 1px 5px;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;line-height:18px;top:9px} #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc{margin:0 auto 0;} #sr_widget.onDemand .live_stock p a{color: #fff;;} #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc{color: #024d99;margin-top:10px;} #sr_widget.onDemand .crypto .live_stock .lb-icon{8px 6px 5px 3px !important} ...
