Akshayakalpa Organic, a certified organic dairy company, has recycled over 40,000 kg of plastic waste through “Give Back the Milk Pack” initiative.
A media statement said that this initiative encourages consumers to bring back their used milk packets for responsible recycling.
Since the inception of this initiative in 2022, Akshayakalpa Organic has recycled more than 40,000 kg of plastic in total across Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad. This recycling programme introduced by the brand urges consumers to follow three easy steps — rinse the pack for 30 seconds, hang it to dry, and once it dries then return it by placing it in a delivery bag.

Quoting Shashi Kumar, CEO and Co-Founder of Akshayakalpa Organic, the statement said, “We are excited to share that through our ‘Give Back the Milk Pack’ programme, we have recycled over 40,000 kg of plastic waste in Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad. This accomplishment shows the powerful change communities can create when they unite for a shared goal. It reminds us of our dedication to sustainability and how small efforts can lead to big environmental gains. We thank our consumers who have joined us in making this initiative a success and making this planet a better place to live. This is merely the start, and we look forward to continuing our journey toward bigger achievements towards sustainability.”
Other community engagement programmes include lake cleaning drives and neighbourhood cleanliness drives across major cities such as Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad. By inviting communities to actively participate in these efforts, Akshayakalpa emphasises that every small action contributes to a larger positive impact on the environment, driving meaningful change for a sustainable future, it said.
The brand is also pioneering eco-conscious packaging solutions, such as paperboard packaging for its dairy products and sustainable leaf-based packaging for vegetables. These measures significantly reduce plastic use and reflect Akshayakalpa’s broader mission of promoting self-sustainability and environmental stewardship, it added.
