Sustainability is the key word on which the foundation of HTWL has been laid. Be it the Metal Cans we manufacture or the social responsibility measures we take, sustainable solutions is what we look for. Building on this philosophy, the Launch of Canvironment week has been initiated, aiming to spread awareness about the exclusive sustainable packaging solutions it offers and also encourage individual and organizational participation.

It is with immense pride that I bring to you the Canvironment Week. This global movement is the first of its kind and demonstrates that each of our partners which are can makers, brand owners , education institutions, trade association etc from different parts of the world, from different cultures are all environmentally cautious and are socially responsible who work towards the same cause of ‘Save our Planet’

We believe that Canvironment Week shall make a significant difference, bring along the spirit of unity and send one strong sustainable global message across the world.

Long-term sustainability and environmental conservation are inter-linked and must be priorities for both business and society. Nestlé Create Shared Value business philosophy means that we do business based on sustainable preservation of the environment, constantly finding ways to increase efficiencies and to reduce waste.

I am very happy that Hindustan Tin’s Global initiative of celebrating ‘canvironment week’ in November is making effort towards sustainability and recognising the need for the welfare of rag pickers in India who are involved in the recycling operation. I wish the event a huge success”

Sustainability, environment management and sensitivity, and community engagement have always been entwined in our business initiatives, as we at Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages believe they provide fair markers to the lives we endeavour to touch beyond the business we conduct. ‘Canvironment Week’ aptly intends to address the pressing and multiple challenges of innovation in packaging material recycling coupled with the interests of recyclers, who though may be at the lower end of the system, are key links of the recycling chain. These challenges hold particular significance in the Indian context. We sincerely hope the initiative is able to leverage this beginning so as to form appropriate linkages with key stakeholders such as government bodies and civil society groups, who can play a key role in extending the reach of this programme. We are happy to be associated with ‘Canvironment Week’, as it preludes an initiative that is well aligned with our common goals of product packaging and recycling towards achieving a greener environment, sustainability, and aiming at improving lives. We at Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages foster a culture of ‘Live Positively’ through redesigning the way we work and live. Sustainability is an integral part of this culture, whereby we strive to reduce environmental impact and turn our packaging products into a valuable resource for the future. We extend our best wishes to the organizers and participants of ‘Canvironment Week’, hoping for a sustained commitment of all the stakeholders to the cause of sustainability and environment management.

In recent times the world and specially India has witnessed stupendous growth in technological and economic advancement resulting in a much better Quality of Life for the present generation. However, this advancement has come at a price. There has been tremendous pressure on the natural resources the world over; be it land, water or even air. The next great challenge that looms ahead for us and the generations to come is Environmental Sustainability.
As businesses, we use natural resources to carry on operations but what differentiates a responsible business from others is the planned manner in which it strives to minimize its environmental footprint. Hindustan Tin Works Ltd celebrating the “Canvironment Week” is one such initiative. I believe that it deserves appreciation and support from all of us for such an initiative. I wish the initiative a great success and compliment the organizers for the same.

The World Packaging Organisation theme is “Better quality of life through better packaging for more people” and Canviroment Week echoes this commitment to the global family by stimulating international interest in protecting the environment. It is pleasing to note that Canvironment Week is an initiative that combines the theory of sustainable thinking with practical outworking opportunities.

Canvironment Week appeals to the youth and this compliments the overall sustainability thrust that speaks about developing partnerships in working towards leaving a legacy of a better world to future generations.

On behalf of the World Packaging Organisation I wish the organisers and participant every success during Canvironment Week.

Packaging plays an important role in preservation, protection,market appeal,consumer attraction of food. packaging ensures that the food reaches the consumer in clean and unadulterated dependable condition in ters oof quality. As a result, packaging is an important component of the processed food sector

At the same time it is important that the packaging industry focuses on the principles of reduce,reuse and recycle. sensitivity towards sustainability would be an imporatant issue that would be facing industry in general. in view of the same i am glad that hindustan tin has taken a/ global initiative of celebrating 'Canvironment Week'in the month of november 2010 in order to highlight recyclability and environment friendliness of tin packs, promotes processed food and also help the rack pickers, who are an important link in the recycling chain, to lead a better life.

I convey my best wishes for the event to be a grand success so that this model can be replicated across the packaging industry
