Pranay Pasricha (PP): Pakka’s journey has always been guided by a deep respect for the planet and the communities we work with. From the very beginning, we have focused on creating solutions that are both practical and environmentally friendly. For us, sustainability isn’t an extra step—it’s the heart of everything we do.
We use agricultural byproducts sourced within 200 km of our manufacturing facility and even cover 95% of our energy needs to ensure our processes are as sustainable as possible. Whether it’s Chuk’s 100% compostable tableware, paper for food wrapping and carrying, or the world’s first flexible compostable and recyclable food packaging, our goal is to make products that can naturally return to the earth.
