  • We’ve acquired 8,000 sq ft of new land to expand assembly

    Dharaksha Ecosolutions has acquired 8,000 sq ft of new land to expand assembly operations. Demand is up across India and for export. Assembly is where finished packs get put together for dispatch — inserts into cartons, ice boxes ready for cold chain, rigid boxes closed and labelled. More space there means we can take more volume without stretching lead times.

    Our biomanufacturing plant in Faridabad stays 27,000 sq ft, with 100+ people and more than 7,000 tonnes of agri-residue already turned into packaging. The 8,000 sq ft is extra land for assembly — not a bigger single building.

    Why assembly is the bottleneck

    Growing mycelium and moulding parts is only half the job. Brands need packs finished, checked and ready to ship. When programmes ramp — new SKUs, festival peaks, export lots — assembly often fills up first. Extra land lets us add that capacity instead of turning work away or delaying it.

    India and worldwide supply

    We manufacture in India and supply nationwide, with a strong focus on northern states and the NCR, plus export. Buyers come for plastic-free protection that still survives transit. That mix — domestic volume plus overseas orders — is exactly why assembly capacity has to grow with the plant, not lag behind it.

    What we make

    From our India base we produce:

    • Mycelium packaging — protective inserts and custom moulded parts that replace thermocol
    • ParaChill — mycelium ice boxes for cold chain
    • Honeycomb board
    • Kappa rigid boxes, including magnetic and pull-tab styles
    • Corrugated cartons and shippers

    For European buyers, PPWR documentation is available on request.

    India’s largest mycelium packaging manufacturer — scaling further

    Dharaksha is India’s largest mycelium packaging manufacturer, based in Faridabad. We work with brands across FMCG, electronics, cold chain and specialty food — including names on our customers page such as Dabur and Havells. This assembly expansion is how we keep pace as those programmes grow and as new buyers come in from India and overseas.

  • Export packaging requirements from India: ISPM, PPWR and protection

    Export packaging requirements for Indian manufacturers span product protection, phytosanitary rules for wood, retailer specs and — for Europe — PPWR packaging design. This checklist-oriented guide is for packaging and logistics teams who ship Ayurveda, cosmetics, perfume, food and devices from India. Dharaksha Ecosolutions in Faridabad, founded by Arpit Dhupar, supplies mycelium packaging, honeycomb board, corrugated cartons and ParaChill™ ice boxes for export lanes, including officially PPWR-compliant packaging for EU-bound goods.

    Start with destination, not only the box

    A pack that clears Indian outbound freight can still fail at the buyer’s warehouse if foam is banned, wood lacks ISPM 15 marks, or the importer’s PPWR questionnaire rejects EPS. List destination country, mode (air, sea, courier), whether wood packaging is used, and any retailer or brand packaging manual. Then design the pack. Our export packaging hub and Europe pages are the on-site anchors for that work.

    Protection requirements every exporter shares

    • Drop and vibration performance matched to courier or container handling.
    • Fitment that stops glass, perfume and devices from rattling.
    • Moisture and stacking strength for sea freight where relevant.
    • Clear packing specs so contract packers repeat the same build every time.

    Mycelium inserts and honeycomb panels are built for these jobs without thermocol. Corrugated outers from Faridabad complete the shipper. Hybrid packs are the default for premium categories.

    ISPM 15 and wood packaging

    ISPM 15 is the international standard for treating solid wood packaging material (pallets, crates, dunnage) to reduce pest risk. Heat treatment or approved fumigation, plus marking, is required for regulated wood moving between many countries. If your export uses wooden pallets or crates, work with ISPM 15-compliant suppliers and keep marks visible. Where fibre alternatives work — honeycomb pallet pads, corrugated shippers, mycelium inners — you can reduce reliance on solid wood. Dharaksha focuses on mycelium and paper systems; we help you specify fibre inners and outers and coordinate wood only when the booking still needs it.

    Europe: PPWR and foam restrictions

    For EU-bound goods, treat PPWR as a first-class export packaging requirement. Dharaksha is officially PPWR-compliant and maintains PPWR-compliant packaging for exporters. Replace EPS inserts and thermocol ice boxes with mycelium; use honeycomb for flat protection; keep fibre outers. Request compliance documentation for your SKU list via contact. Deeper narrative: our PPWR packaging compliance guide (publish alongside this post) and the mycelium packaging Europe hub.

    Cold chain export requirements

    Seafood, dairy, meal kits and some medicines need insulated shippers that survive lane time. ParaChill™ mycelium ice boxes (2 L, 5 L, 37 L, 50 L) offer thermal conductivity of 0.032 W/m·K versus about 0.0365 W/m·K for EPS, with about 20% longer cold hold. That helps when buyers reject thermocol coolers. See mycelium ice box and cold chain packaging.

    Export packaging checklist (India → world)

    • Product: dimensions, weight, fragility, orientation marks.
    • Lane: air / sea / courier; max transit days; climate.
    • Materials: no EPS if buyer or PPWR path forbids it; prefer mycelium + honeycomb + corrugated.
    • Wood: ISPM 15 marks if solid wood packaging is used.
    • Labelling: shipper marks, hazardous if any, destination language needs.
    • Documents: packing list aligned to actual pack; PPWR docs on request for EU.
    • Trial: sample → drop/temperature test → approve → scale in Faridabad.

    Gulf, UK and other markets

    UAE and wider Gulf buyers often ask for plastic-free premium unboxing as strongly as Europe asks for PPWR alignment. See mycelium packaging UAE. UK programmes follow similar foam-exit logic; see mycelium packaging UK. One Faridabad production base can feed multiple export hubs with shared moulds.

    Next step

    Send your destination list, current pack photos and monthly volumes on the contact page, or call +91 92173 09172. We will map export packaging requirements to mycelium, honeycomb and corrugated options — and share PPWR documentation where Europe is in scope.

    Working with Dharaksha on an export programme

    Most export customers begin with one hero SKU — often a glass jar, perfume flacon or cold-chain box — and expand once breakage and buyer feedback improve. We design in Faridabad, ship samples, and then produce at volume for India plus overseas. Premium Ayurveda, cosmetic and perfume brands are a core focus because their unboxing standards and EU questionnaires are strict. Phone +91 92173 09172 if you need a fast triage of your current foam pack.

    Frequently asked questions

    What export packaging requirements matter most from India?

    Product protection, wood packaging ISPM 15 rules when timber is used, destination chemical and labelling rules, and for Europe, PPWR-related packaging design. Start with a checklist per destination.

    Does Dharaksha handle ISPM 15 wooden pallets?

    Our core offer is mycelium, honeycomb and corrugated. If your booking needs ISPM 15 heat-treated or fumigated wood packaging, we coordinate with compliant pallet suppliers or design fibre alternatives where suitable.

    Are Dharaksha packs suitable for EU export under PPWR?

    Yes. Dharaksha is officially PPWR-compliant and supplies PPWR-compliant packaging for EU-bound exporters. Request documentation for your SKUs via contact.

    Can you ship samples before a bulk export order?

    Yes. Most export programmes start with a free sample, your drop and climate trials, then production in Faridabad.

    Where should I start if I export to Europe and the Gulf?

    Read our Europe and UAE mycelium pages, the export packaging hub, then send dimensions on the contact page.

  • Eco friendly packaging materials: mycelium, honeycomb and corrugated

    Choosing eco friendly packaging materials is less about a single miracle substrate and more about matching protection, disposal and cost to each SKU. This buyer guide walks through the materials Dharaksha Ecosolutions manufactures in Faridabad — mycelium, paper honeycomb, corrugated board and hybrid packs — so packaging and sustainability teams can shortlist the right stack. Founded by Arpit Dhupar, Dharaksha supplies premium Ayurveda, cosmetic and perfume brands as well as food, electronics and export customers.

    What “eco friendly packaging materials” should mean

    A useful material is plastic-free or easily recyclable, protective in real courier and freight conditions, and honest about end-of-life. We avoid oxo-degradable plastics marketed as green. Our core materials are grown or fibre-based: mycelium from agricultural residue, paper honeycomb and corrugated board. Together they cover inserts, ice boxes, pallets, partitions and printed outers. If you need a single manufacturer that can supply the full stack, start with our eco friendly packaging manufacturer in India overview.

    Mycelium packaging

    Mycelium is the root-like network of fungi. We grow it into moulds to form custom inserts, trays and corner blocks. It cushions like foam, is plastic-free and home-compostable, and can be shaped tightly around jars and bottles — which reduces empty air. For insulation, mycelium has a thermal conductivity of 0.032 W/m·K versus about 0.0365 W/m·K for EPS thermocol. Explore formats on mycelium packaging in India and the products page.

    Typical mycelium use cases include Ayurveda glass jars, cosmetic bottles, perfume flacons, ceramics, lighting and small electronics. Because the part is grown to the cavity, you often ship less void fill than with cut foam or loose paper.

    ParaChill™ mycelium ice boxes

    When the eco brief includes cold chain, foam ice boxes are often the hardest to replace. ParaChill™ compostable ice boxes in 2 L, 5 L, 37 L and 50 L hold cold about 20% longer than EPS in our trials. They serve medicine, seafood, dairy and meal kits. Details: mycelium ice box and cold chain packaging.

    Paper honeycomb board

    Honeycomb is a kraft paper core with hexagonal cells, faced with kraft liners. It replaces flat thermocol sheets, edge protectors, pallet pads and heavy-duty partitions. It is fibre-based, strong for its weight and pairs well with mycelium when you need both shaped and flat protection. See honeycomb board.

    Corrugated boxes and monocartons

    Corrugated fibreboard remains the workhorse outer: 3, 5 and 7 ply shippers, mailers and printed monocartons from Faridabad. Eco friendly packaging materials programmes almost always keep corrugated and upgrade the inners. See corrugated box manufacturer in Faridabad.

    How to pick a stack for your category

    • Ayurveda and glass jars: mycelium cavity insert + corrugated monocarton or shipper. See also Ayurveda packaging and glass jar packaging.
    • Cosmetic and perfume: precision mycelium tray + printed outer; optional honeycomb for multipacks. See sustainable cosmetic packaging and perfume packaging.
    • Electronics and lighting: mycelium corners or full tray + 5/7 ply corrugated.
    • Cold chain food or pharma: ParaChill ice box sized to the lane.
    • Heavy industrial: honeycomb panels and edge boards with corrugated or pallet wrap.

    Questions to ask any materials supplier

    • Is the material plastic-free, and how should customers dispose of it?
    • Can you drop-test to our height and share a sample?
    • What is the lead time from approved sample to production?
    • Can you supply inners and outers so the full pack is consistent?
    • For EU exports, how does the pack support PPWR-relevant requirements?

    Dharaksha answers those from one Faridabad factory. Request a materials recommendation on the contact page or call +91 92173 09172. Bring your highest-breakage SKU first — that is usually where eco friendly packaging materials pay back fastest.

    Common mistakes when specifying eco materials

    Teams sometimes swap only the outer carton to kraft while leaving EPS inserts inside — customers still see foam. Others specify “biodegradable plastic” films that do not match local disposal. A cleaner approach is to remove foam first, lock mycelium or honeycomb inners, then tune print and monocarton. That sequence also makes cost conversations clearer because protection and sustainability move together.

    Frequently asked questions

    What are the best eco friendly packaging materials for fragile products?

    Moulded mycelium inserts for shaped protection, paper honeycomb for flat and edge protection, and corrugated fibreboard for the outer shipper. Match the material to the risk.

    Is mycelium packaging compostable?

    Yes. Dharaksha mycelium packaging is plastic-free and home-compostable. Break it up after use and return it to soil.

    Are kraft and corrugated enough on their own?

    Often for light goods. Fragile glass, perfume and electronics usually need an inner cushion — mycelium or honeycomb — inside the corrugated box.

    What should exporters to Europe prioritise?

    Plastic-free, right-sized packs that support recyclability and minimisation under PPWR. Mycelium inserts and ParaChill ice boxes are designed for that direction.

    Where can I see Dharaksha materials?

  • Why thermocol is banned: city rules, buyers and what to use instead

    Searches for why thermocol is banned usually come from brands that just lost a retailer listing, a city contract or an export order because of EPS foam. Thermocol (expanded polystyrene, also called Styrofoam) is cheap and familiar, but Indian cities, buyers and overseas markets are tightening rules around it. This article explains the practical reasons behind those bans and how Dharaksha Ecosolutions in Faridabad helps you replace thermocol without losing protection.

    What people mean by a thermocol ban

    India does not have one single nationwide line that deletes every thermocol product overnight. Instead, municipal plastic rules, state notifications, event and catering bans, and private retailer or export specifications stack up. For a packaging buyer, the effect feels the same: foam that used to be default is suddenly non-compliant. Export customers add another layer — EU rules under the Single-Use Plastics Directive and the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) push brands away from fossil foams even when the shipment left India legally.

    That is why “why thermocol is banned” is often less a legal research question and more an operations one: which of my SKUs still use EPS, which customers reject it, and what can I swap in before the next audit or tender.

    Why cities and buyers restrict thermocol

    • Litter and breakage: thermocol crumbles into beads that are hard to collect and easy to wash into drains.
    • Disposal: it is bulky, slow to break down and rarely recycled at municipal scale in India.
    • Fire and storage: some facilities treat large EPS stocks as a fire and space risk.
    • Brand and ESG pressure: premium Ayurveda, cosmetic and perfume brands do not want foam photos in unboxing videos.
    • Export questionnaires: European and Gulf buyers ask for plastic-free or recyclable packs; EPS fails many of those checks.

    Public bans on decorative thermocol at festivals and catering get headlines. For manufacturers, the quieter pressure from modern trade, e-commerce brand guidelines and overseas importers often matters more — those contracts can forbid thermocol even in cities where street vendors still use it.

    Thermocol in cold chain is under the same pressure

    Medicine, seafood, dairy and meal kits still often move in thermocol ice boxes because foam is light and insulating. That use case is exactly where a better insulated alternative matters. Our ParaChill™ mycelium ice box is plastic-free and home-compostable, with thermal conductivity of 0.032 W/m·K versus about 0.0365 W/m·K for EPS, and about 20% longer cold hold. See also cold chain packaging.

    What replaces banned thermocol in practice

    Not every foam part needs the same swap. Moulded mycelium inserts replace shaped thermocol around jars, bottles and devices. Paper honeycomb board replaces flat thermocol sheets, edge pads and void fill for heavier loads. Corrugated outers stay as the shipper. Most of our customers run a hybrid pack — corrugated outside, mycelium or honeycomb inside — so the switch is stepwise rather than overnight. Full detail lives on our thermocol alternative page.

    Why brands choose mycelium after a ban

    Dharaksha is India’s largest mycelium packaging manufacturer, founded by Arpit Dhupar and based in Faridabad. We grow packaging from agricultural residue, drop-test designs before production, and supply premium categories that feel bans first: Ayurveda, cosmetics, perfume, glass jar foods and exporters. Mycelium is plastic-free, home-compostable and right-sized to the product — which also helps packaging minimisation goals under PPWR for EU-bound goods. Read our hub on mycelium packaging in India for company and format context.

    A simple switch plan when thermocol is no longer allowed

    • List every thermocol SKU: sheets, corners, trays, ice boxes.
    • Map each to mycelium, honeycomb or corrugated.
    • Prototype the highest-risk fragile or cold-chain SKU first.
    • Run your own drop and temperature trials on a free sample.
    • Roll out across the range once the design is signed off.

    If a city rule, retailer or overseas buyer has just blocked thermocol, start with the thermocol alternative hub or request a replacement design on the contact page. Call +91 92173 09172. Our Faridabad team will recommend mycelium, honeycomb or a hybrid pack for each part on your list.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is thermocol banned across all of India?

    Rules vary by state and city. Many urban local bodies restrict or ban thermocol for certain uses, and buyer contracts often ban EPS even where law still allows it. Check your city rules and your retailer’s packaging policy.

    What is a practical thermocol alternative for boxes and inserts?

    Moulded mycelium replaces shaped foam; paper honeycomb replaces flat sheets and edge pads; corrugated board remains the outer shipper. See our thermocol alternative page.

    Does mycelium work as a Styrofoam or EPS foam alternative for export?

    Yes. Overseas buyers often say Styrofoam or EPS. The same mycelium formats apply for Europe, the UK and the UAE.

    Can ParaChill replace thermocol ice boxes?

    Yes. ParaChill mycelium ice boxes are compostable insulated boxes with thermal conductivity of 0.032 W/m·K versus about 0.0365 for EPS, and about 20% longer cold hold in our trials.

    How do I switch my current thermocol parts?

    Share the part, dimensions and route on our contact page. We design a mycelium or honeycomb replacement, send a sample, then scale in Faridabad.

  • Mycelium packaging cost in India: what drives the price

    Buyers comparing mycelium packaging cost with thermocol or moulded pulp usually want a clear answer: what drives the price, when mycelium pays for itself, and how to get a quote that matches their SKU. Dharaksha Ecosolutions manufactures mycelium packaging in Faridabad, Haryana. Founded by Arpit Dhupar, we grow protective inserts, trays and ParaChill™ ice boxes from agricultural residue on an automated line. This guide explains the cost factors behind mycelium packaging in India and how to request a realistic quote.

    What mycelium packaging cost actually covers

    Mycelium is grown into a mould rather than cut from a foam block. Your price therefore reflects design and tooling, grow-and-dry cycle time, finishing, drop testing and freight — not only raw biomass. A simple corner block for a monocarton costs less than a multi-cavity tray for a perfume set or an insulated ice box shell. When you ask for mycelium packaging cost, share the format you need so we price the right process.

    Main factors that move the price

    • Part geometry: flat pads and corners are cheaper than deep, multi-pocket inserts for jars, bottles or electronics.
    • Order volume: higher monthly volumes amortise moulds and fill the grow line more efficiently.
    • SKU count: one shared insert across a family of jars is cheaper than a unique mould per SKU.
    • Performance spec: drop height, stack load and cold-hold duration for ice boxes change wall thickness and density.
    • Pack system: mycelium alone versus mycelium plus honeycomb board and corrugated outer.
    • Destination: domestic NCR delivery versus export cartons for Europe, the UK or the UAE.

    Mycelium vs thermocol: comparing the right numbers

    Commodity thermocol often wins on the lowest rupee-per-piece line. Brands switching for export or retail usually compare more than that. Mycelium is plastic-free and home-compostable, which removes foam disposal headaches and answers buyer questionnaires. For cold chain, our material has a thermal conductivity of 0.032 W/m·K versus about 0.0365 W/m·K for EPS thermocol, with about 20% longer cold hold in ParaChill™ boxes — so you may use fewer gel packs or tolerate longer lanes. See our thermocol alternative page for the product case, then price your actual SKU.

    Typical formats and how they are quoted

    Protective inserts and trays. Quoted per piece after we lock dimensions. Used for Ayurveda jars, cosmetic bottles, perfume flacons, glassware and electronics. Start from the mycelium packaging in India hub.

    ParaChill™ mycelium ice boxes. Quoted by size (2 L, 5 L, 37 L, 50 L) and monthly volume. Aimed at medicine, seafood, dairy and meal kits. Details on the mycelium ice box page.

    Hybrid packs. Many exporters combine mycelium inners with paper honeycomb and printed corrugated outers from Faridabad. We quote the full stack so you see one landed packaging cost.

    How to get an accurate mycelium packaging quote

    • Send product photos, outer dimensions and weight.
    • Note drop height, courier vs freight, and destination country.
    • Share forecast monthly volume and number of SKUs.
    • Flag any EU or retailer packaging requirements (including PPWR for Europe-bound goods).
    • Tell us if you need inserts only or a complete inner-to-outer pack.

    We design a mould, send a free sample for qualified projects, and only then lock production pricing. That avoids quoting a foam-like blank that will not survive your drop test.

    Who usually finds mycelium cost-effective

    Premium Ayurveda, cosmetic and perfume brands; glass jar food makers; lighting and electronics firms; and exporters selling into Europe and the Gulf. If your buyer already rejects EPS, the cost of a rejected shipment dwarfs the packaging delta. If you need wholesale eco friendly packaging across box types, see our eco friendly packaging manufacturer page.

    Request a mycelium packaging cost quote

    We do not publish a single public price list because geometry and volume dominate. For a firm mycelium packaging cost, use the contact page or call +91 92173 09172 with your dimensions and volume. Our Faridabad team will reply with a sample plan and quote.

    Frequently asked questions

    How much does mycelium packaging cost in India?

    Mycelium packaging cost depends on mould complexity, piece size, order volume and whether you need inserts, trays or ice boxes. Request a quote with your dimensions for a firm price.

    Is mycelium more expensive than thermocol?

    Unit price can be higher than commodity EPS, but many buyers save on disposal fees, export buyer requirements and brand positioning. Compare total cost of ownership, not only the foam line item.

    Do you charge for samples or tooling?

    We usually start with a free sample for qualified projects. Tooling and production pricing are quoted after the design is approved.

    Can I get pricing for ParaChill ice boxes?

    Yes. Share the litre size (2 L, 5 L, 37 L or 50 L), lane length and monthly volume on our contact page for a mycelium ice box quote.

    What information do you need for an accurate quote?

    Product dimensions, weight, drop height, shipping mode, monthly volume and whether you need mycelium only or a full pack with honeycomb and corrugated outer.

  • PPWR packaging compliance: PPWR-compliant packs from Dharaksha

    European buyers and Indian exporters now search for PPWR packaging compliance as routinely as they once searched for drop-test results. The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation reshapes what can be placed on the European market. Dharaksha Ecosolutions — India’s mycelium packaging manufacturer in Faridabad, founded by Arpit Dhupar — is officially PPWR-compliant. We supply PPWR-compliant packaging for EU-bound exporters: moulded mycelium inserts, ParaChill™ ice boxes, paper honeycomb and corrugated systems designed to move brands off fossil foam.

    What PPWR means for packaging teams

    PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (EU) 2025/40) entered into force on 11 February 2025 and has applied since 12 August 2026. It strengthens requirements around recyclability, packaging minimisation, reuse and related obligations for packaging placed on the EU market. For Indian exporters of Ayurveda, cosmetics, perfume, food and devices, the practical question is simple: will our pack still be acceptable to the importer and to EU market rules? That is what people mean by PPWR packaging compliance.

    PPWR sits alongside earlier measures such as the Single-Use Plastics Directive, which already restricted certain expanded polystyrene food and beverage containers and cups. Together they push brands away from EPS thermocol and toward materials that are plastic-free, right-sized and easier to justify in retailer and importer questionnaires.

    Dharaksha is officially PPWR-compliant

    Dharaksha maintains officially PPWR-compliant packaging for customers shipping into Europe. Our mycelium packaging, hybrid fibre packs and insulated formats are produced with PPWR-relevant requirements in mind: removing fossil foam, minimising unnecessary void, and supporting end-of-life pathways that European buyers expect. Compliance is maintained for PPWR-relevant requirements on the formats we supply. Buyers who need documentation for a specific SKU, lane or importer questionnaire should request it through our contact page — we share project-scoped materials rather than posting certificate numbers on a public blog.

    How mycelium packaging supports PPWR packaging goals

    • Plastic-free protective inners: mycelium replaces EPS inserts and corners without polymers or foam beads.
    • Packaging minimisation: parts are grown in a mould around the product, so you ship less empty air.
    • Home-compostable material story: after use, mycelium can be broken up and returned to soil.
    • Insulation without EPS: thermal conductivity of 0.032 W/m·K versus about 0.0365 W/m·K for EPS, with about 20% longer cold hold in ParaChill™ boxes.
    • Fibre outer systems: honeycomb and corrugated complete a coherent, non-foam pack for EU retail and e-commerce.

    PPWR packaging for cold chain and fragile exports

    Cold-chain exporters often remain stuck on thermocol ice boxes long after primary packs go plastic-free. Our ParaChill™ mycelium ice box gives medicine, seafood and specialty food shippers a compostable insulated option sized at 2 L, 5 L, 37 L and 50 L. Fragile cosmetics, perfume and Ayurveda glass still need shaped protection — custom mycelium trays deliver that without EPS. Country context for European programmes sits on our mycelium packaging for Europe hub, with further pages for Germany, France, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain and the UK.

    A practical PPWR packaging compliance checklist for Indian exporters

    • Map every foam component in the EU-facing BOM (inserts, sheets, ice boxes, void fill).
    • Replace EPS with mycelium or honeycomb; keep corrugated as the recyclable fibre outer where appropriate.
    • Right-size cavities and avoid over-boxing that conflicts with minimisation goals.
    • Align unboxing and disposal guidance with what European customers can actually do.
    • Request Dharaksha compliance documentation for the SKUs and destinations in scope.
    • Confirm importer labelling and EPR registration obligations on the EU side (brand/importer duties beyond the physical pack).

    Who should talk to us about PPWR packaging

    Premium Ayurveda, cosmetic and perfume brands exporting to the EU; glass jar food makers; electronics and lighting exporters; and any Indian manufacturer whose European buyer has sent a PPWR or “no EPS” questionnaire. We also support hybrid programmes that keep Indian domestic packs on corrugated while upgrading EU SKUs first. See export packaging and the Europe hub for logistics context.

    Request PPWR compliance documentation

    For PPWR packaging compliance support, tell us the product, pack format and EU destination on the contact page, or call +91 92173 09172. We will confirm how Dharaksha’s PPWR-compliant packaging applies to your scope and share the documentation available for that project. Do not rely on generic public claims alone — request the pack-specific documentation for your importer.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is Dharaksha officially PPWR-compliant?

    Yes. Dharaksha Ecosolutions maintains PPWR-compliant packaging for EU-bound exporters. Compliance is maintained for PPWR-relevant requirements on our mycelium, honeycomb and related formats. Request documentation through our contact page for your SKU and market.

    What is PPWR packaging compliance in plain language?

    PPWR is the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation. It sets rules on recyclability, packaging minimisation, reuse and related obligations for packaging placed on the EU market. Brands and importers need packs designed to meet those rules.

    Does mycelium help with PPWR packaging goals?

    Mycelium is plastic-free, home-compostable and moulded to the product, which supports minimisation and removal of fossil foam. Pair it with fibre-based outers for a coherent EU-facing pack.

    Can you support cold-chain shipments into Europe under PPWR?

    Yes. ParaChill mycelium ice boxes replace EPS foam coolers with a compostable insulated box. See the mycelium ice box and Europe hub pages.

    How do I get PPWR compliance documents from Dharaksha?

    Contact us with product type, destination country and pack format. We share the documentation available for that scope. We do not publish certificate numbers on this page; request them for your project.
