Last year, Zomato took its first step towards long-term sustainability by launching ‘Climate Conscious Delivery’ by introducing the ‘no cutlery required’ option.

However, it has acknowledged that offsetting emissions generated in the process of producing new plastic packaging did not solve the problem of used plastic reaching landfills and clogging water bodies – which is when plastic neutral deliveries came in.

The food delivery app has partnered with ISO-certified plastic waste management organisations to collect and recycle plastic waste across India.
