Sustainability
Our Commitment to Circular Packaging
Overview
Responsible Materials. Traceable Progress.
AVI's commitment to circular packaging connects recycled-material use, traceability and resource-efficient design. Our rPET range offers specified recycled-content levels, supported by grade and batch documentation, while AVI Trace provides material and process records for participating orders.
We also work with partners to improve packaging design and logistics. From recycled-content options to the licensed Q-Bic blueberry punnet, our focus is on practical improvements supported by clearly defined evidence.

Our Commitment
Putting Our Commitments into Practice
Environment
We focus on the materials, energy and resources used to produce packaging. In FY2025–26, AVI reports processing 5,271 metric tonnes of PET waste into 100% post-consumer recycled PET. Associated estimates include the equivalent of 263.5 million PET bottles, 29,515 cubic metres of landfill space avoided and 6,325 metric tonnes of fuel consumption avoided. Contact our team for the calculation methodology, assumptions and reporting boundaries behind these figures.
People & Governance
Responsible manufacturing depends on structured systems for workplace safety and environmental management. AVI's ISO 45001:2018 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications, issued by SGS (UK) and valid through October 2028, support these functions at our Daman facility. Current certificates and their applicable scopes are available from our team.
Innovation & Circularity
Our rPET range offers recycled-content levels from 30–100%, with documentation matched to the selected grade and batch. AVI Trace extends material visibility for participating orders. Through our partnership with Smart Packaging Industries AS, Norway, we manufacture Q-Bic blueberry punnets in India under licence. The illustrated nesting comparison shows 36 empty punnets occupying approximately 17.1 litres, compared with 34.8 litres for the reference format.
Community
Our contribution starts with packaging designed to protect fresh produce and support its journey from growers to consumers. Helping customers address handling damage and spoilage connects our core work with food-waste reduction. Contact AVI's team to learn more about our community initiatives and current participation opportunities.
