We had collaborated with HDFC ERGO and Funsmart Knowledge Solutions Foundation to organize a Paper Bag Making Activity on 28 September 2026 across Kochi, Chennai, and Coimbatore.
β¨ 172 employee volunteers from HDFC ERGO came together across the three cities to create 300+ paper bags using old newspapers. Through this hands-on activity, the volunteers creatively repurposed newspapers into useful paper bags while raising awareness about the importance of reducing plastic usage and choosing sustainable alternatives.
The activity encouraged participants to embrace the principles of reuse and responsible consumption, while the paper bags were prepared for distribution within the community to further spread awareness about eco-friendly alternatives to single-use plastic bags.
