What is Vera Sustainables?+

Vera Sustainables Pvt. Ltd. is a women-led sustainable packaging company founded in 2024, focused on decarbonising industrial and FMCG packaging through two offerings: a Returnable Transport Packaging (RTP) rental service and a new line of bamboo biopolymer primary packaging for beauty, personal care, and homecare brands.

What makes Vera different from other sustainable packaging companies?+

Vera is the only player in India combining 30–60% bio-based bamboo content with biodegradation credentials and full third-party certification (ISO, IS, EERL, CIPET) specifically for FMCG primary packaging. Unlike solutions based on recycled plastic, Vera offers true material substitution — reducing fossil fuel dependence at the source.

Is the packaging safe for cosmetic and personal care products?+

Yes. The material is safe for direct contact with skin, hair, and lips. No extractables or leachables migrate into the product, and it is non-allergenic, non-irritating, and non-sensitising — making it suitable even for children's and sensitive-skin product lines.

Will it work with my formulation?+

The material is compatible with water-based, oil-based, and alcohol-based formulations. It does not react with active ingredients such as acids, retinoids, or essential oils, and does not absorb oils, fragrances, or preservatives. It will not affect the colour, odour, texture, or efficacy of your product over its shelf life.

Can we print on the packaging?+

Yes. Our products can be printed on — both screen printing and offset printing work well on the material, so you can carry your branding, labels, and design elements directly on the pack.

Can the products be colour customised?+

Yes. Colour customisation is available — we can match the packaging to your brand's colour palette. Reach out to us with your requirement and we will be happy to discuss the options.
