Amazon teams up with leading Indian university to turn farm waste into recyclable packaging
Amazon and IIT Roorkee are pioneering sustainable packaging by transforming agricultural waste into paper mailers. The 15-month research project converts crop residues like wheat straw and sugarcane bagasse-materials typically burned, causing severe air pollution-into recyclable, home-compostable packaging alternatives. This innovation will address India's 500 million tonnes of annual agricultural waste while reducing dependence on virgin wood pulp from freshly cut trees. Following successful lab-scale development at IIT Roorkee's INNOPAP facility, industrial trials and commercial production are expected by late 2026.
