Why ‘MAGGI Wrappers Return’ Initiative
This initiative has been launched after reports exposed that Maggi, along with potato chips, was among the most popular food products and were responsible for a majority of the country’s plastic pollution. This is mainly because their empty packets weren’t properly disposed of in the mountainous area like Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh.
