“After India imposed a ban on single-use plastics to tackle the country’s increasing levels of plastic pollution, the opportunity for kraft paper has substantially increased, especially in the packaging industry,” says Mr. Parag Patel, Director – Marketing, Skywin Paper Industries Private Limited.

Revealing more on the idea behind establishing the mill, he added, “After India imposed a ban on single-use plastics to tackle the country’s increasing levels of plastic pollution, the opportunity for kraft paper has substantially increased, especially in the packaging industry. People’s inclination towards the e-commerce sector has acted as a catalyst in this growth. Witnessing this trend, there are many new entrants. However, one has to be competitive, qualitative and service-oriented to remain in the industry.”
