National, 5th June 2025: Furlenco marks World Environment Day 2025, themed “Ending Plastic Pollution Globally” by reaffirming its commitment to sustainability, innovation, and responsible living. From cutting down plastic use to scaling its EV fleet, the company is driving real environmental impact through thoughtful, measurable action.
Furlenco’s delivery operations have undergone a green transformation. What began in 2023–24 with 5% Electric Vehicles (EVs) has now scaled to a fleet of 35% EVs covering all larger cities Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai, and NCR in 2024–25. By 2025–26, the fleet will grow to over 50% EVs, helping prevent over 600,000 kg of CO₂ emissions to date and counting.
In alignment with this year’s focus on reducing plastic pollution, Furlenco has made significant strides in minimizing plastic waste through its sustainable remanufacturing practices. By replacing disposable one time packaging with innovative reusable packaging materials, the company has saved over 25,000 kg of carton sheets. Additionally, it has eliminated the use of plastic-based materials such as bubble wrap, stretch film, and EPE, while replacing PVC tapes with cable ties collectively reducing plastic consumption by 5 tonnes. These efforts reflect the brand’s deep commitment to eco-conscious operations at every stage of its supply chain.
Furlenco’s refurbishment facilities have introduced dry chemical washing, a technique that dramatically reduces water usage in furniture maintenance. Through continued refurbishment and upcycling practices, the company estimates it has saved over 50,000 trees, reinforcing its commitment to circular economy principles.
Mr. Ajay Agarwal, Chief Operations Officer, Furlenco, states, “At Furlenco sustainability isn’t a side initiative, it’s embedded in how we operate and innovate. As we observe World Environment Day 2025, we reaffirm our commitment to reducing plastic, conserving natural resources, and transforming last-mile delivery through clean mobility. This is how we’re helping redefine what it means to live sustainably in India.”
With strong intent and scalable initiatives, Furlenco continues to demonstrate how businesses can lead the way in tackling plastic pollution and environmental degradation.
