Biopolymer innovation promotes sustainability
MUMBAI: Bioyug On Wheels – India's first mobile awareness initiative on polylactic acid (PLA) biopolymers – was officially unveiled by the Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, in Mumbai recently.
This pioneering effort marks a significant step toward mainstreaming sustainable alternatives to single-use plastics through direct consumer engagement and education.
To promote PLA biopolymers as an eco-friendly alternative to single-use plastics, Bioyug On Wheels—a first-of-its-kind mobile initiative—is set to hit the streets across India. This unique campaign features a specially designed van that showcases everyday products made from PLA, a sustainable, compostable biopolymer.
By simplifying the science behind PLA and bringing it directly to communities, the initiative aims to build consumer awareness and encourage informed, responsible choices.
This grassroots effort aligns with the 2025 World Environment Day theme, which calls for sustainable solutions to plastic pollution.
Launched by Balrampur Bioyug, India's first industrial PLA manufacturing brand, Bioyug On Wheels bus is set to travel across India, making scheduled stops at key locations to engage directly with communities. At each stop, visitors will have the opportunity to explore how everyday products can be made from PLA (polylactic acid) and understand how a single lifestyle choice can support India's green transition.
By offering a tangible alternative to conventional single-use plastics, the initiative aims to reduce dependency on fossil fuel-based materials and inspire more sustainable consumer behaviour.
