Hindalco, Jute Corporation jointly launch reusable bags for Tirupati Temple

These bags have an aluminium foil lamination so that the laddoos retain freshness and aroma and remain free from moisture and bacteria

Hindalco Industries Ltd, in partnership with Jute Corporation of India, has launched the country's first aluminium-foil-laminated jute bags for Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), which administers the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple in Andhra Pradesh, as part of its effort to reduce single-use plastic. The company plans to roll out these jute bags at other temples across India, and for other industries, too, as a smart and sustainable packaging option.

These new bags will substitute plastic bags used for carrying the famous Laddu Prasadam. The aluminium foil lamination ensures that the ladduoos retain freshness and aroma, and remain free from moisture and bacteria.
