DCGpac launches sustainable packaging manufacturing plant in Noida

INDIA – Sustainable packaging company DCGpac has commissioned a new manufacturing facility in Noida, India, as part of its strategy to expand in-house production and strengthen its global supply of environmentally responsible packaging materials.

The 20,000ft² facility has an initial production capacity of 250 tonnes per month and is designed to support backward integration across the value chain.

Raw material sourcing, manufacturing, quality assurance and distribution have been consolidated at the site, allowing DCGpac to improve control over product consistency and lead times.

Developed following a five-year collaboration with UKHI, a UK-based specialist in biodegradable and compostable materials, the plant will focus exclusively on fully biodegradable and compostable packaging solutions.

DCGpac said all materials processed at the Noida facility meet its sustainability criteria and are intended to support customers transitioning away from conventional plastics.

The new site will supply packaging products to a range of end-use sectors, including e-commerce, quick commerce, logistics, retail and direct-to-consumer brands.

In addition to serving the Indian market, the facility will support exports to international customers in regions such as the UK, Germany, Australia and the Middle East.

Production at the Noida plant includes extrusion, printing, sealing and finishing operations. The facility also houses an in-house laboratory for quality control and testing, enabling compliance with regulatory requirements across multiple international markets.

DCGpac said the plant is designed to complement, rather than replace, its existing network of vendors and manufacturing partners.

The additional in-house capacity is expected to accelerate product development cycles and provide greater supply consistency for multinational clients.

Commenting on the launch, DCGpac founder Suresh Bansal described the facility as a key milestone in the company’s long-term growth strategy.

He said the combination of backward integration and collaboration with UKHI would allow DCGpac to scale more rapidly while maintaining quality and sustainability standards across markets.

The investment comes amid rising demand for compostable and biodegradable packaging in India and overseas, driven by tightening regulations, brand sustainability commitments and growth in e-commerce and direct-to-consumer channels.

Industry players are increasingly investing in local manufacturing to reduce reliance on imports and ensure regulatory compliance across regions.

Looking ahead, DCGpac plans to add further manufacturing facilities under its smart manufacturing approach over the next five years.

The company said joint investments with its partners are expected to exceed ₹1bn (US$10.9m), positioning it to meet growing domestic and international demand for sustainable packaging solutions.
