🌟♻️ We’re taking plastics recycling to the next level at PRSI 2024! The future of recycling is here and it’s happening at Plastics Recycling Show India 2024. From December 4-6 at the Bombay Exhibition Center, the industry’s brightest minds and boldest innovators will come together to redefine what’s possible. Recy Technologies is leading the charge, unveiling our next-gen solutions that recycle even the toughest materials - like fishing nets, agri-films, and nonwoven fabrics - with groundbreaking tech that’s changing the game. Catch us at Booth P434, where we’ll show you how everything, from waste to ocean plastic, can find new life. Because when it comes to sustainable recycling, there are no limits. Let’s break the boundaries of recycling together. #Riciclo #Sostenibilità #Ambiente #Plastica #RicicloPlastica #GreenTech #ZeroRifiuti #RicicloSostenibile #EconomiaCircolare #RecycleAndReuse #Recycling #Sustainability #Environment #Plastic #PlasticRecycling #Circularity #ZeroWaste #SustainableRecycling #CircularEconomy #RecycleAndReuse #RecyclingEquipment #RecyTechnologies #ReduceReuseRecycle #prsindia

Eco-friendly/alternative to plastic usage: The demand for alternatives to plastic in India is growing due to increasing environmental awareness and concerns about plastic pollution. Alternatives like biodegradable plastics, paper bags, cloth bags, and plant-based packaging are gaining importance to reduce environmental impact and promote sustainability. Government regulations and consumer preferences are also driving the shift towards eco-friendly alternatives, the value of plastic usage currently in India is approximately 2.5 lack crores. Indeed, in the Indian market for bioplastic manufacturers, there's room for visionary leaders to step forward and make a significant impact. Those who champion alternatives to conventional plastics are not only appreciated but also essential in driving sustainable innovation and promoting environmental stewardship in India. #bioplastic #innovation #plasticusage #environment #greenuse

Plastics are critical to modern life and are here to stay. However, plastic waste presents a severe environmental, economic, and societal challenge. At current pace, plastics will outweigh fish in the ocean by 2060. India alone generates 10 million to 12 million metric tons of plastic waste every year, much of which remains unrecovered or mismanaged. Tackling this challenge will require solutions across the entire value chain from plastic production and usage to collection & sorting, as well as recycling and usage of recyclates. This is only possible via tight collaboration across producers, brand owners, industrial stakeholders and government. Our latest report with the Confederation of Indian Industry, "Solving Plastic Waste: Roadmap for a Sustainable Future," lays out a transformative path forward to address this challenge.

♻ It is Global Recycling Day! ❓#DYK that till date, only 9% of plastic produced globally has been recycled. Around 80% of plastic waste is dumped into landfills, oceans, or other waterbodies. 📖Source: Geyer R. et. al. (2017, July 19). 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘶𝘴𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘴 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦.

Advocating for reuse models is a step in the right direction that the Confederation of Indian Industry is taking to address the rampant plastic pollution resulting from the consumer led economic growth in the country. India is at an advantage since its traditional consumption behaviors already align with reuse and repair. This is an opportunity for the industry to incentivize and regulate FMCG to adopt these traditional models.

🎯Target 2 of the India Plastics Pact asks signatories, by 2030, to place 100% reusable, recyclable or compostable plastic packaging on the Indian market. 🚨While a majority of efforts to address plastic pollution caused by packaging focus on #recycling, #reuse is a crucial step that is often overlooked. 🤔But what does it mean to reuse packaging? 👉It is defined as an 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐲 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐫 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐝, 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐮𝐱𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝. 📈Implementing and scaling reuse models is critical to addressing single-use plastic waste and transitioning to a circular plastics economy.  📋The India Plastics Pact’s latest report, 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: 𝐑𝐞𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚, focuses on reuse business models and highlights its economic, social, and environmental benefits in the Indian context.    🖥Know more here: https://lnkd.in/gSvCwK3e   🤝The India Plastics Pact is a business-led platform for stakeholders across the plastics value chain, aiming to create a circular economy for plastic packaging in India.    ✍To join the Pact, write to us at ippaction@cii.in.    🌐For more information, visit www.indiaplasticspact.org.    #IndiaPlasticsPact #CircularEconomy #TimeToActIsNow #TogetherWeCan    Confederation of Indian Industry || CII-ITC Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Development

👥Signatories of the India Plastics Pact collaboratively agreed to take action on six unnecessary or problematic plastic packaging items as part of an Ambition List.   📜These items go beyond the ones mentioned in the Government of India's SUP ban list; thereby exhibiting greater ambition by signatories. Some actions may include: 📍Substitution with a material that is recycled in practice 📍Exploring reusable alternatives  📍Redesigning to eliminate the need for an item 🔎 Learn more about the Ambition List and how Members can better manage items on the list through #redesign and #innovation, read now: https://lnkd.in/g4BEG3HJ   🤝The India Plastics Pact, a voluntary business initiative managed by Confederation of Indian Industry, provides a platform to stakeholders across the plastics value chain for innovative and collaborative action to create a circular economy for plastic packaging in India.   #IndiaPlasticsPact #CircularEconomy #TimeToActIsNow #TogetherWeCan   CII-ITC Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Development

The Material Recycling Association of India cordially invites you to the "Conference on Decarbonization Through Material Circularity," scheduled on October 21, 2024, at the New Habitat Centre in New Delhi, India. Click link to #Register: https://lnkd.in/dQuA3KiA and secure your participation at the conference.   This conference is strategically designed to facilitate in-depth discussions on the critical role of the circular carbon economy, carbon credits, carbon finance, automotive material circularity, End-of-Life Vehicle, and #Recycling in curbing global emissions while ensuring robust economic growth.   Furthermore, the conference will underscore the unwavering commitment of the recycling industry to process waste materials and convert them into quality recycled products, effectively replacing virgin materials in the supply chain. This proactive approach not only conserves resources but also yields substantial carbon savings.   With this process, recyclers are preserving resources, reducing reliance on virgin materials, and delivering sustainable products to support manufacturers, thereby it can create major carbon savings. It will also highlight How Automobile manufacturers, Recyclers (Metal, Tyre, Rubber, E-Waste, Paper, Battery), FMCG companies and financial institutions can achieve their Net Zero Goals by promoting Circularity. #MRAIConference #RecyclingIndustrEvent #Decarbonization #CarbonCredits #NetZeroGoals #CircularCarbonEconomy #CarbonCredits, #CarbonFinance #AutomotiveMaterialCircularity #Circularity #CircularEconomy #ELV #Manufacturer #Supplier #SustainableFuture #Sustainability #MaterialRecycling #SupportingPartner #SupportingAssociation #Association

While I agree with all you said in this post, the figure of 8 % of Plastics being recycled in India is grossly wrong.While quality of recycling needs vast improvement,quantity wise,India is far superior than most developed countries. For example PET recycling rates are one of the highest in the world. Similarly, Post consumer EPS packaging waste is collected and recycled to the extent of more than 75% in India and converted to photo frames and wall panels. There are at least 800 EPS melters across India and over 125 Extruders to produce Photo frames and wall panels
