Selvas Plastics

Selvas Plastics is a Puducherry-based maker and supplier of eco-friendly disposable packaging. The business centres on everyday food service items, the cups, plates, trays, and containers used in large volumes by caterers, canteens, and retail outlets, and offers compostable and biodegradable versions in place of single-use plastic. It is listed in the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) compendium of producers offering single-use plastic alternatives, which is the national reference buyers use to find approved substitutes.

The product approach is broad rather than narrow. Alongside compostable cups, plates, and trays, the range covers cornstarch packaging, sugarcane bagasse tableware, kraft paper food containers, paper cups, napkins, wooden cutlery, and carry bags. That mix lets a single buyer, such as a catering company or a chain of eateries, source most of their disposable needs from one supplier while staying within single-use plastic rules. The company runs both a manufacturing unit in Bahour Commune and a store location in central Puducherry, and bulk supply to local businesses, catering vendors, and retail buyers is a core part of how it operates.
