Wscs and Polygon form joint venture for paper cutlery

Wscs has formed a joint venture with Polygon, an Indian paper cutlery manufacturer. This partnership will introduce paper cutlery to global markets, including the UK, Europe, and USA. This move aligns with Wscs's aim for sustainable packaging solutions.

Ian Brett, managing director of Wscs, visited India and met with Polygon founders Mridul and Tushar. They discussed combining Wscs's global procurement and distribution skills with Polygon's paper-based sustainability solutions. The agreement shows a shared commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility.

Amit Prakash, director of Wscs India, helped facilitate this collaboration. His knowledge of the Indian market and industry connections brought Wscs and Polygon together. He focuses on developing India as a strategic base for global sustainable product distribution.

The joint venture gives Wscs exclusive distribution rights for Polygon's paper cutlery in international markets. Paper cutlery has growing demand in foodservice, catering, and hospitality sectors due to sustainability goals and regulations against single-use plastics.

Wscs will invest in local warehousing, logistics networks, and marketing campaigns. The company plans to inform industry stakeholders about paper cutlery's performance and its role in reducing environmental impact. Ian Brett commented, "Our vision is to offer practical, scalable solutions that align with our customers’ sustainability objectives while maintaining quality and usability."

Wscs' long-term plan includes expanding its product range through similar collaborations. It will focus on compostable packaging and foodservice products. The paper cutlery initiative with Polygon is part of a plan to make sustainability accessible for global brands.

This partnership with Polygon marks a new stage in Wscs' mission. The company will continue to seek partnerships and product developments to meet client needs and strengthen its role in responsible packaging solutions.
