I’ve supplied eco-packaging to sweet shops, and in 2025, India’s green push makes this a sweet deal—mithai shops need sustainable boxes. Potential - Demand: ₹50-200/box, 50 shops/month = ₹50k profit. - Cost: ₹1 lakh for stock (paper, jute). Challenges - Cost: Eco-materials pricier than plastic. - Awareness: Shops need education—offer samples. Steps 1. Source: Paper bags from Delhi wholesalers (₹20/unit). 2. Legal: MSME reg, GST. 3. Sell: Visit shops, Insta ads. Ecoware’s model inspires. Paper or bamboo boxes first?
