Used plastic is not a waste.
It’s an opportunity
It’s an opportunity
Plastic is a miraculous material that we invented from petroleum derivatives. Recycled plastic can be converted into polyester which is used to manufacture Shoes, T-shirts, bags, chairs etc., thereby causing less strain on natural resources. The only problem with plastic is its irresponsible human handling in its disposing. We recognize how well plastic can work for us & you if utilized properly. Keeping this in mind, we launched ‘Bottles for Change’.
60% of plastic waste is recycled in India & we strive to make it 100%.
India consumes 13 million tons of plastic every year, out of which 60% is recycled. Rest 40% of plastic majorly contains non-recyclable items like Wrappers, Plastic bags, Milk pouches, Multilayer chips packets etc. These plastics can be recycled several times but there are hardly any efforts made because of their lightness & dirtiness. They are dumped in dump yards to lie there forever and cause problems for the environment.
The plastic recycling process refers to the processing of plastic and turning it into a new item altogether. It includes cleaning the plastic, cutting it into flakes and then melting it at high temperature for moulding it for desirable use..
