Sustainability is the key word on which the foundation of HTWL has been laid. Be it the Metal Cans we manufacture or the social responsibility measures we take, sustainable solutions is what we look for. Building on this philosophy, the Launch of Canvironment week has been initiated, aiming to spread awareness about the exclusive sustainable packaging solutions it offers and also encourage individual and organizational participation.

"I feel very pleased to bring to you the second in the series of this global sustainability campaign focusing on the eco friendly nature of metal cans. We have had a very successful year and have received world acclaim for Canvironment Week in 2011; while delivering a fantastic and a promising story for the global metal packaging industry.

Each Canvironment member has come up with very innovative and out of the box ideas to promote the industry and has raised the global benchmark to promote a packaging material. We wish to drive this campaign forward with full enthusiasm and spirit to promote our industry and position metal cans as the sustainable package of the future.

We are very happy to associate and be a part of CANVIRONMENT WEEK. A global movement initiated by Hindustan Tin Works for the upliftment of the lifes of ragpickers. We urge the industry to have similar programmes which are happy to support. We congratulate Hindustan tin works and wish Hindustan tin works all the success. Packaging plays an important role in preservation, protection, market appeal, consumer attraction of food. Packaging ensures that the food reaches the consumer in clean and unadulterated dependable condition in ters of quality.

As a result, packaging is an important component of the processed food sector At the same time it is important that the packaging industry focuses on the principles of reduce,reuse and recycle. sensitivity towards sustainability would be an imporatant issue that would be facing industry in general. in view of the same i am glad that hindustan tin has taken a/ global initiative of celebrating 'Canvironment Week'in the month of november 2010 in order to highlight recyclability and environment friendliness of tin packs, promotes processed food and also help the rack pickers, who are an important link in the recycling chain, to lead a better life. I convey my best wishes for the event to be a grand success so that this model can be replicated across the packaging industry

Keith Pearson,
President,
World Packging Organisation

The winds of changing are fanning the attitudes of many people around the world and the Canvironment Week initiative is a timely opportunity to challenge individuals and communities to live more environmentally responsible lives and for the global canning industry and its partners to unite in highlighting the need for companies, Governments and individuals to unite in dealing with the moral issue of leaving a legacy. Saving our planet is a theme worth planning and working for.

By making the initiative theme and activities revolve around youth, the Canvironment Week is geared for fun and exciting activities that facilitate learning and sustainable living. Encouraging people to understand that collectively "we can" and as individuals "I can" make an impact in infusing life and energy into making sustainable living a reality. It has been most encouraging to note that many companies around the world have caught the vision of supporting this global movement that is well thought out and meets the environment as well as social needs of society.

Working with the Rag Pickers is a wonderful way of transforming people's lives and is a genuine desire to facilitating the rehabilitation of many people and hopefully have families and communities achieve a "rags to riches" experience. Canvironment Week is a great way for businesses to reach out into local communities and as the saying goes there needs to be contact in order to make an impact. The World Packaging Organisation's theme is "Better quality of life through better packaging for more people" and without doubt Canvironment Week fully supports this vision and we wish the organisers, participating companies and participants every success.
 


   

N C Saha,
Director, Indian Institute
of Packaging

I am extremely happy to note that after having a landmark success of the launching of "CANVIRONMENT WEEK" during 10th- 17th November,2010 by an Indian packaging industry
for the first time in India to commemorate the 200th birth anniversary of the father of canning, Mr.Nicolas Appert, this particular movement has now spread over across the globe. It is also heartening to note that this movement has stimulated many more countries/organisations who are coming forward to support this movement which has got a
noble mission of "sustainable packaging".

Most importantly, this could be an example in the packaging world that a movement, initiated by Hindustan tin Works, an Indian Packaging industry with the support of all concerned stackholders has been able to get the recognition globally within a period of two years. I am confident that the entire packaging community will be highly excited by this movement and all the stackholders related to packaging will work together towards common goal for the development of “sustainable packaging” On behalf of Indian institute of packaging, may I take the privilege to support this movement and wish for a Grand success.

 


   

Kalayan Ganguly
President, United Breweries Ltd.


In an increasingly enlightened business environment where sustainability and responsible growth are key drivers, Canvirornment Week by Hindustan Tin Works is a timely and relevant initiative. Environmental consciousness and green initiatives are no longer peripheral activities which corporate houses used to indulge in. In fact, sustainability is the cornerstone on which future business growth is dependent.

At United Breweries Ltd., we have always recognized this. We believe in pioneering and supporting initiatives that minimize the impact that our business has on the planet. We believe that the society that we are currently a part of and generations to come have a right to a clean & environmentally stable planet. Many of our first in category initiatives like ground water recharging, bottle and can recycling and reforestation are born out of this belief. I would like to once again take this opportunity to wish both, the organizers and participants, of Canvirornment Week 2011, all success, and a healthier and better planet to live on.

Metal packaging, the saviour for wasted food. We live in a world in which one billion people face starvation yet huge volumes of the food produced are wasted. This shocking situation has been highlighted by the fact that some 1.3 billion tonnes of food is lost each year throughout the global food chains. As much as 50 percent of food is lost after harvest and before it reaches the consumer. In developed markets retailers and consumers also waste huge volumes, some 89 million tonnes in Europe alone. Yet the solution to this problem has been available for more than 200 years: metal packaging.

It is a solution that offers future generations a sustainable means to overcome these appalling losses. By using materials that do not degrade and are easily recyclable, metal packaging provides the best means of preserving nutritious foods over long periods of time without a need for refrigeration. It is also robust and light, making it ideal for challenging shipping and warehousing conditions. It is therefore a means of packaging that is both easy to use, store and transport with the lowest impact on the environment.

The organisers of Canvironment Week should be applauded for continuing to bring this message to a global audience, and The Canmaker magazine welcomes the opportunity to support their activities. It is only by repeating this message that it will eventually be understood by those who have the power to encourage the use of metal, the best packaging option.

 
  

   

ASHWANI BHARDWAJ
Managing Director, Micro Inks Ltd.

It is heartening to know that Hindustan Tin Works Ltd has continued the initiative of CANVIRONMENT WEEK started in 2010 and we feel very happy to be associated with this initiative. The rapid economic developments of the past one decade have thrown up new challenges to people, society and industry. Proper awareness and timely action about the adverse impact of these changes on the environment is one such challenge which needs to be dealt with on top priority. Nothing is more laudable than voluntary action on the part of industry.

Environment concerns us all and it is our collective responsibility to protect it. Improvement in the economic situation in our country will result in increased consumptions, which means increased production. Rising levels of consumption and production will result in increased waste generation. And we will have to find newer and more innovative solutions to deal with this waste. However, the first and foremost step in this direction is creating AWARENESS amongst the public as well as government and industry. CANVIRONMENT week is a very positive step for creating and spreading this kind of awareness. I congratulate the organising team of CANVIRONMENT initiative and hope that this initiative gathers further popularity in the coming years.

Vice President - Corporate Affairs
Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages Pvt.Limited

Sustainability, environment management and sensitivity, and community engagement have always been entwined in our business initiatives, as we at Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages believe they provide fair markers to the lives we endeavour to touch beyond the business we conduct. ‘Canvironment Week’ aptly intends to address the pressing and multiple challenges of innovation in packaging material recycling coupled with the interests of recyclers, who though may be at the lower end of the system, are key links of the recycling chain. These challenges hold particular significance in the Indian context. We sincerely hope the initiative is able to leverage this beginning so as to form appropriate linkages with key stakeholders such as government bodies and civil society groups, who can play a key role in extending the reach of this programme. We are happy to be associated with ‘Canvironment Week’, as it preludes an initiative that is well aligned with our common goals of product packaging and recycling towards achieving a greener environment, sustainability, and aiming at improving lives. We at Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages foster a culture of ‘Live Positively’ through redesigning the way we work and live. Sustainability is an integral part of this culture, whereby we strive to reduce environmental impact and turn our packaging products into a valuable resource for the future. We extend our best wishes to the organizers and participants of ‘Canvironment Week’, hoping for a sustained commitment of all the stakeholders to the cause of sustainability and environment management.

If any commercial enterprise, still has to capitalize on technologies,open up markets with them, and then service those markets with products for as long as possible, it has to do so in ways which notonly deliver maximum value to its customers but also demand minimum resource from the planet.

Today’ s consumers are more aware than ever before of how theproducts they purchase will impact the environment. Retailers and manufacturers are searching for ways to reduce packagingmaterials, offer more sustainable formulated products and bring them to market with a smaller carbon footprint.

Akzo Nobel is clearly focused on doing everything the Sustainable Way. Sustainability is part of everything we do. Being a part of Packaged Products Supply Chain; supporting an Initiative of Canvironment Week is the most appropriate medium for AkzoNobel packaging Coatings to communicate our Strategic Sustainable Vision.
