Chuk, the flagship brand of Pakka, a manufacturer of compostable food packaging, has allied with Maha Kumbh Mela Trust to serve as the official tableware supplier for the event. The partnership aims to provide sustainable and eco-friendly tableware products at the Maha Kumbh Mela, held in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh.
Chuk's compostable tableware, made of bagasse, will be exclusively distributed to restaurants participating in government programmes during one of the world’s largest religious gatherings. This will support the massive logistical requirements of serving devotees while maintaining the highest standards of hygiene and eco-friendliness.
