Balrampur Chini Mills Limited expanded its 'Bioyug On Wheels' sustainability campaign to the Shree Somnath Temple in Somnath, Gujarat, on July 10, 2026, promoting compostable bioplastics as alternatives to conventional plastics. The activation, hosted in the temple parking area, targeted thousands of devotees and tourists visiting the Plastic-Free Zone. This initiative follows previous engagements at Shri Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, Rajkot, and Junagadh, reinforcing the company's mission to mainstream Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) bioplastics derived from sugarcane feedstock.

The campaign featured interactive demonstrations, product displays, and educational exhibits to explain the lifecycle and environmental advantages of bio-based materials. Shri VijaySinh Chavda, General Manager of Somnath Trust, visited the exhibition and interacted with the team, underscoring the importance of sustainable alternatives in high-footfall public spaces. The event highlighted how responsible material choices can support cleaner environments while preserving the sanctity of cultural heritage sites.

Avantika Saraogi, Executive Director of balrampur chini mills , emphasized the potential for sacred places to lead by example in adopting environmentally responsible solutions. She noted that Bioyug PLA bioplastics offer commercially viable applications for items such as water bottles, cutlery, prasad boxes, and garbage bags, contributing to a reduction in plastic waste.

A recent study by a premier government research institution was cited to support the environmental viability of PLA bioplastics. The findings highlighted the material's role in advancing a circular economy, confirming its ability to break down safely compared to traditional plastics.
