Koh, an eco-friendly cleaning product business, wanted a kerbside recyclable spout pouch made from recycled PE plastic. As a new-age brand focused on environmentally conscious cleaning products, it was integral that their packaging also matched their brand ethos. Lightweight recycled packaging also benefits their ecommerce business model.
