Can sustainable packaging be sleek, scalable and safe enough to handle food? ITC thinks so. With its new Filo Series, the Indian conglomerate is rolling out a plastic-free, compostable packaging solution aimed at businesses ready to clean up their act — and their supply chains.
Launched with a slick digital campaign, the Filo Series is made from biodegradable, food-grade paperboard and is designed to withstand grease, moisture and scrutiny — all while staying recyclable and planet-friendly. Think pizza boxes without the guilt and pastry trays that don’t cost the earth.
Part of the paperboards and specialty papers division, the innovation reinforces ITC’s broader circular economy push. Already plastic-neutral for four years, the company is now stepping up its commitment with solutions like Filo and a new moulded fibre unit in Madhya Pradesh.
Filo doesn’t just check eco boxes — it ticks business ones too. It promises food safety, functionality and scalability, aimed at replacing single-use plastics across FMCG and food delivery segments. Certified as both biodegradable and recyclable, it’s the kind of packaging that could future-proof an industry under increasing regulatory and consumer pressure.
Speaking on the company’s vision, ITC Ltd divisional chief executive, paperboards and specialty papers business, Rajesh Ponnuru said, “As part of our commitment to circularity and innovation, we are proud to offer a range of planet-friendly, sustainable solutions that meet the evolving needs of several industries while improving their environment footprint.
With the Filo Series, we set out to address a fundamental challenge—how to deliver food-safe, high-performance boards, which are sustainable and scalable. Filo is not just a product innovation; it represents a significant step in reimagining solutions for a wide range of industries seeking viable alternatives to single-use plastic.”
With 2030 goals focused on sustaining plastic neutrality and scaling responsible alternatives, ITC is making it clear: going green isn’t a compromise — it’s a competitive advantage. And with Filo, the wrap game just got a smart, sustainable upgrade.
