Dow Pack Studios Mumbai

Fostering Packaging Innovation with Collaboration

Making an impact with a sustainable advantage

Since 2018, Pack Studios Mumbai has continuously accelerated regional application development projects. To date, our facilities have hosted over 50 customers for specific project discussions and trials.

These collaborations have led to multiple success cases across India within the last few years. In 2020, waste management company Lucro partnered with Dow, using Pack Studios Mumbai to develop and launch polyethylene (PE) film solutions using PCR plastics. The partnership will help divert 6,000 tons of waste from the environment, creating new business opportunities with sustainable practices that result in cleaner communities.
