In January 2025, which organisation has launched a National Mission on Sustainable Packaging Solutions?
CSIR
The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) is India's premier autonomous research and development organisation, running a countrywide network of national laboratories that span fields from chemistry and materials to biotechnology and engineering.
In January 2025, CSIR launched a National Mission on Sustainable Packaging Solutions, aimed at developing and promoting eco-friendly, biodegradable and recyclable packaging materials.
The mission targets a reduction in single-use plastic waste and seeks to develop, standardise and scale up sustainable alternatives that industries can adopt across sectors such as food, pharma and consumer goods.
This fits CSIR's core mandate of translating laboratory science into practical, industry-ready technologies that serve national economic and environmental goals, drawing on its labs' expertise in polymers and materials science.
IARI (Indian Agricultural Research Institute) and ICAR (Indian Council of Agricultural Research) are focused on agricultural research, education and extension, while DRDO handles defence research and development.
Because their mandates lie in agriculture and defence respectively, none of these three organisations launched the sustainable packaging mission.
Hence, the correct answer is CSIR.
