Mr. Nebu Thomas conceived and founded the Kerala Biodegradable Paper Products Makers Association (KBPPMA) in 2023 — an industry body created to represent and protect certified compostable manufacturers operating under India’s Plastic Waste Management Rules.
Anna Polymers also served as lead petitioner in a Supreme Court of India case that resulted in a stay on a Kerala High Court order which had broadly banned single-use plastics at tourist spots, weddings, and government events.

The stay preserved the legal operating space for certified compostable product manufacturers in Kerala — a significant precedent for the industry nationally.
