an Indian startup on a mission to end single-use packaging in food delivery

Food delivery is definitely part of our “new normal.” Over the past decade, we have seen a movement from eating in restaurants to ordering for delivery, and the pandemic has accelerated this further. Get more news about Food Packaging,you can vist our website!

But, as is always the case with big changes in the world, the shift in where we eat has led to unintended consequences. In this case, a big one: packaging. Food delivery has exacerbated the consumption of single-use plastics that bring convenience, safety, and hygiene benefits, but also cause massive amounts of pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The question is: can we have these benefits while minimising negative impacts?
Meet InfinityBox, our circular-economy-focused TFF Challenge Finalist team from India. They’ve made it their mission to fight the mounting crisis caused by disposable, single-use packaging. They sustainably manufacture their own traceable, high-quality and resistant-to-leakage food containers, which are reused safely through their digital tracking platform and patent-pending smart bins. In its essence, InfinityBox is a logistics platform that specializes in hygiene management and enables the reuse of food containers up to 100 times.

Their innovative approach is gaining traction too – InfinityBox is already working with some of India’s biggest food delivery companies like Swiggy, as well as with MealSmith, a partner of Hungerbox, which is India’s largest B2B aggregator.

All of this started when Shashwat Gangwal, Founder and CEO of InfinityBox, and Shubham Bansal were struck by the amount of plastic that came whenever they ordered food in university. Not only was it cluttering their kitchen, but it also was terrible for the planet. Together with Keshav Godala and Soham Chandorkar as Co-Founders, they decided to take action. Three years later, they have built their packaging and logistics solution, bolstered by a strong team and impactful partners – and they are going strong. Their solution solves a problem many of us have noticed and experienced, no matter where in the world we are.
