AHMEDABAD, APR 23
AWL Agri Business Limited (formerly Adani Wilmar Limited), one of India’s leading Food & FMCG companies and the makers of the household brand Fortune Edible Oils & Foods, marked the World Earth Day and the silver jubilee of the company’s foundation with a green drive here on Tuesday.
The company has donated 100 benches made entirely from repurposed Fortune packaging materials to the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC). The first lot of these recycled park benches will be installed across various municipal parks and gardens in Ahmedabad.
Angshu Mallick, Managing Director & CEO, AWL handed over these recycled park benches to Ahmedabad Mayor Prathibhaben Jain at Rosary Garden in Law Garden area of the city.
Deputy Mayor Jatin Kumar Patel and BJP MLA Amit Shah along with other senior officials of the AMC and AWL were present at the event.
Speaking on this green initiative, Angshu Mallick, MD & CEO, AWL Agri Business Ltd. said:
“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. After getting the feedback from the citizens on the enviro-friendly benches, ww will install 50 to 100 such recycled park benches in all civic gardens of the city. Unlike concrete benches, these recycled park benches will remain cool even at scorching heat, sturdy and maintenance-free, including all-weather proof,” added Mallick.
