The board of directors of Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) at its meeting on 20 March 2025 approved the investment for acquiring 14.3% stake in Lucro Plastecycle (Lucro), a leading player in recycled flexible plastics. Lucro is a waste management, recycling and product manufacturing company, working to create a circular plastics economy.
HUL says its investment is a step forward towards its sustainability goals to scale up the use of recycled flexible plastic content in packaging, in line with the government’s vision of zero plastic waste future. The investment aims to strengthen plastic circularity by increasing the availability of recycled content for flexibles, providing a roadmap for businesses to move towards sustainable plastic packaging and address the challenge of hard-to-recycle flexible plastic.
Rohit Jawa, HUL CEO and MD, said, “This investment is a significant step in building the capabilities in recycling and developing the circular economy model for plastic, which is in line with our firm belief that what is good for India is good for HUL.”
