DRS sounds simple: pay a deposit, return the bottle, and get your money back.
But behind the scenes, it’s a highly coordinated traceability infrastructure — and it only works when technology, printing, and packaging come together flawlessly.
Every bottle under Goa’s Deposit Refund Scheme carries a unique serialised QR code. That code needs to be printed — at speed, at scale, without a single error.
We’ve been working on exactly this.
At Pravesha (a regulated pharma vertical of Alternicq ltd), in partnership with VINSAK and Recykal, we are among the first authorised printing partners to operationalise DRS-compliant Variable Data Printing on the ground. Every code we print is unique, traceable, and seamlessly integrated into the Recykal DRS tech stack — from the moment it’s generated to the moment a consumer scans it at a collection point.
Here’s what that process looks like end-to-end:
A brand registers on the DRS platform → requests deposit-linked QR codes → on boards an authorised printing partner (us) → codes are generated via Recykal → securely transferred to our facility → we execute high-precision VDP at industrial scale → finished packaging ships to the manufacturer.
As Goa DRS’s pilot expands across India and beyond, what will matter most is the ability to execute — with precision, reliability, and consistency, at scale.
That’s the work we’ve committed to. And we’re grateful to be part of building something that genuinely matters.
