“At AWL Agri Business, sustainability isn’t just a commitment—it’s embedded in everything we do. This initiative reflects our dual focus: managing waste responsibly and creating lasting value for the community. By transforming Fortune packaging waste into functional public benches, we aim to set a strong example for circular economy practices in India. We are proud to be a plastic-neutral company, collecting 100% of the plastic we introduce into the market through our product packaging. With these benches, we’ve taken it a step further—repurposing that very plastic into something meaningful and enduring for the people of Ahmedabad.”
Marking 25 years of trust and nourishment, Fortune takes a heartfelt step toward giving back—through an initiative that turns everyday packaging into lasting community impact. Each of the 100 benches, with a three-seater capacity, reflects AWL’s innovative approach to recycling—turning everyday packaging into durable, functional urban seating. The initiative supports AWL’s broader environmental goals of reducing waste, promoting recycling, and fostering green public spaces.
