Enfriend Innovations Private Limited

In their own words

Biodegradable food containers, food packaging, crockeries, and cutleries are becoming more in demand due to the environmental challenges posed by conventional plastic materials. The existing biodegradable materials predominantly utilize biopolymers, agriculture waste, and agriculture byproducts. The present market of biodegradable food containers, crockeries, and cutleries is facing a serious challenge with the final product costing compared to the existing available products in the market. Additionally, scaling up production to meet the demand for replacing conventional plastics through biomaterial remains a challenge with limited market penetration, supply chain management, raw material costing, limitations in the manufacturing processability and know-how, and final product finish. The company, Enfriend Innovations Pvt. Ltd., focuses on the particular aspect of sustainable and viable biodegradable material and process development for the packaging industry, majorly focusing on food containers, food packaging, crockeries, and cutleries. The technological innovation embarked with the company incorporation relies on abundant and cheaper biomaterials such as coconut husk, and industrial manufacturing process development utilizing the same. The existing utilization of coconut husk as coir produces huge amounts of waste. The proposed technology involves the complete utilization of coconut husk, producing zero waste from coconut. The novelty in the manufacturing process for the same also solves the problem of high water consumption, poor water, and grease resistance involved in existing natural fibre-based food packaging. In this regard, the present disruptive process innovation put forward the value addition of coconut husk and coir waste as a potential biodegradable material, which can establish itself as a more affordable, sustainable, and zero-waste technology. Apart from the coir-based biodegradable packaging materials, the company also maintains an R&D policy to recheck the current biodegradable market and technologies from time to time, to develop innovative and non-pseudo biodegradable materials and processes to produce more reliable products on a larger scale. The use of such sustainable and affordable biodegradable packaging technologies raises awareness among consumers about the environmental impact of their choices and it encourages individuals to adopt more sustainable consumption practices, influencing their behavior and leading to a greater demand for environmentally friendly products.
