    AWL transforms recycled plastic into park benches

    AWL Agri Business Ltd, formerly Adani Wilmar Limited, has adopted and revamped a public park opposite ICB Flora Apartment in Gota, Ahmedabad, under a five-year maintenance agreement with the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC).

    As part of the initiative, the company transforms 1,100 kg of recycled plastic from Fortune packaging into 43 benches installed across the park, in a move it says reflects its focus on circularity and responsible resource utilisation.

    Senior leaders from AWL Agri Business, along with AMC officials and local corporators, conducted a “Green Walk” through the park, planting trees and distributing saplings to visitors to encourage community participation in sustainability efforts.

    “We, at AWL Agri Business, believe that sustainability is not limited to our operations and products. It is also about creating meaningful impact in the communities where we operate,” said Shrikant Kanhere, Managing Director and CEO, AWL Agri Business Ltd.

    “The benches, made using recycled Fortune packaging material, further reflect our commitment to circularity and responsible resource utilisation.”

    Spread across 19,000 square metres, the park has been developed as a recreational space featuring green landscaping, a children’s play area, a jogging track, gazebos and drinking water facilities, while contributing to local biodiversity.

    The company said the initiative demonstrates how recycled plastic and packaging waste can be given a second life within everyday community infrastructure, forming part of its broader corporate social responsibility strategy in urban environments.

    AWL Agri Business, whose flagship brand is Fortune, operates more than 80 manufacturing facilities across 11 states, including India’s largest single-location refinery in Mundra with a capacity of 5,000 tonnes per day. The company serves more than 135 million households through a network of over 10,000 distributors and 2.6 million retail outlets.

    AWL Agri Business Limited, one of India’s largest food and FMCG companies, said on Tuesday it has strengthened its partnership with The Akshaya Patra Foundation by donating five custom-built insulated food distribution vehicles to support the Foundation’s Mid-Day Meal Programme.

    The company has also committed to sponsoring nutritious mid-day meals for more than 41,000 children studying in government schools across Gandhinagar, it said. The initiative was marked by a vehicle flag-off ceremony held at the company’s corporate headquarters.

    The five customized insulated vehicles will enable the safe and timely delivery of freshly prepared meals to government schools across Surat, Gandhinagar, and Vadodara, strengthening the Foundation’s ability to provide nutritious meals to children every school day, the company said.

    “At AWL Agri Business, we believe that good nutrition is the foundation of a child’s health, education and future,” said Shrikant Kanhere, Managing Director & CEO, AWL Agri Business Ltd. “We are delighted to further strengthen our partnership with The Akshaya Patra Foundation through this initiative, which combines infrastructure support with direct nutritional assistance to children.”

    Sri Raya Rama Dasa, Vice President of The Akshaya Patra Foundation, Gujarat, said the vehicles and meal sponsorship would strengthen the organization’s ability to serve children more efficiently. “Together, these efforts will help us combat classroom hunger, improve school attendance and help more children to learn and thrive,” he said.

    The partnership builds on a long-standing association between the two organizations. To date, AWL Agri Business has served more than 700,000 mid-day meals to school children and provided 14 food delivery vehicles, covering more than 27,000 children across 129 schools, the company said.

    The Mid-Day Meal Programme initiative also supports Fortune SuPoshan, AWL’s flagship CSR programme addressing malnutrition and anaemia among women and children, the company said.

    AWL Agri Business Ltd., formerly known as Adani Wilmar Ltd., is one of India’s largest food and FMCG companies, with more than 80 manufacturing facilities across 11 states, including what it says is India’s largest single-location refinery, located in Mundra with a 5,000-tonne-per-day capacity.
