Lemonade India · Since 2019

Sustainability &

Giving Back.

We're not perfect. But every order we fulfil is a small step toward something better for people, for animals, and for the planet.

This page exists because we believe gifting shouldn't cost the earth. Here's an honest look at what we do, what we're working toward, and who we're doing it with.

01

Made only when you order

Every product at Lemonade India is produced on demand one unit, for one person, at one time. Nothing is manufactured in advance. Nothing sits in a factory. Nothing is stockpiled. This is the foundation of everything else on this page. No overproduction means no waste from unsold inventory, no excess packaging, and no product that ends up in landfill because it didn't sell.

Units produced per order

1

Exactly what you ordered. Nothing more.

Factory stock

Zero

No warehouse. No dead stock. Ever.

Because everything is made on demand one unit, only after you order your product may take a few extra days compared to something pulled off a shelf. That's the trade-off we've chosen, and we think it's the right one. A little more time. A lot less waste.

02

Your order is packed in our waste

The paper and plastic waste generated within our workspace doesn't go to the bin. It gets shredded and repurposed as the protective filler inside your order packaging.

What would otherwise be discarded becomes the material that keeps your products safe in transit. Less virgin packaging material purchased, less waste sent out.

Every order you receive from us includes shredded paper and plastic from within our own workspace as part of the protective packaging. What would otherwise be discarded gets a second life keeping your products safe in transit.

03

Packaging that fits

We don't ship small items in large boxes. Orders are packed to fit what's inside reducing filler material, reducing courier weight, and reducing the overall footprint of every shipment we send out.

It also means less for you to deal with on your end when the box arrives.

04

Plastic recycling with NGOs in Mumbai

Beyond what we reuse in-house, we work with two NGOs based in Mumbai for the responsible recycling of plastic waste that can't be repurposed within the workspace.

This ensures that the plastic leaving our workspace has a proper end-of-life route not the landfill.

05

Made in India. Run digitally.

  • All products are made in India

    keeping production local reduces the carbon footprint of international manufacturing and long-haul shipping.

  • Mostly digital operations

    invoices, order confirmations, and customer communication are handled digitally. We keep physical paperwork to the bare minimum.

  • Supporting local artisans

    every product is crafted by skilled makers in India, keeping livelihoods local and production accountable.
