[ujaglobaladvisory]

As of 2023, the Indian plastic processing industry comprised ~30,000 units using injection moulding, blow moulding, extrusion, and calendaring to create a wide range of products.

The plastics industry was home to about 50,000 industries as of 2023, most of which are micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). These enterprises contribute INR 3,633 billion to India’s economy and employ more than 50,000 people.

The plastic industry in India market size is estimated at INR 3,938 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach INR 4,466 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of over 6.5% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Plastic Recycling and Government Initiatives

In February 2022, India released updated EPR guidelines for plastic packaging to strengthen existing rules. The guidelines promote a circular economy by encouraging the use of sustainable packaging that is reusable, recyclable, or compostable. The guidelines also require the use of recycled plastic content in packaging, supporting investments in recycling infrastructure.

Along with the ban on selected single-use plastics announced in August 2021, the new EPR guidelines aim to improve the collection and management of plastic waste in India.

Tell me you hate food without telling me you hate food

“Since satiety is largely due to stretch of the stomach and people tend to eat a consistent weight of food, increasing food volume and mass increases satiety. This can be achieved without increasing the calories of food by mixing food with a material that cannot be metabolized. Such a material should be inert, safe, resistant to stomach acid, lack taste, available in powder form, smooth, resistant to heat, and cost effective. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an ideal substance for this purpose. It is a soft plastic that is widely considered to be the most inert material known and is extremely stable.”

A Complete Guide on Plastic Recycling Process

Plastic recycling is a crucial step towards a sustainable future. With plastic waste overwhelming landfills and oceans, understanding the recycling process is essential for individuals and industries alike. This guide explores the key steps, benefits, and challenges of the plastic recycling process.

What Is Plastic Recycling?

Plastic recycling involves collecting waste plastics, processing them into raw materials, and manufacturing new products. This process helps reduce environmental pollution, conserve resources, and minimize energy consumption.

The Plastic Recycling Process

1. Collection

Recyclable plastics are collected through curbside programs, recycling bins, or industrial waste management systems. Proper sorting begins at this stage.

2. Sorting

Collected plastics are sorted based on type, resin code, and color. Advanced technologies like infrared scanners and AI-driven systems enhance the accuracy of sorting.

3. Cleaning

The sorted plastics are washed to remove contaminants like dirt, labels, and residual food. This step ensures the purity of the recycled materials.

4. Shredding and Resizing

The cleaned plastics are shredded into smaller pieces or flakes. This makes the material easier to process and transport.

5. Identification and Separation

The plastic flakes are further analyzed to separate them based on density or polymer type. Techniques like float-sink separation or air classification are commonly used.

6. Melting and Pelletizing

The separated flakes are melted and reformed into pellets, which serve as raw materials for manufacturing new plastic products.

Types of Plastics Recycled

PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate): Common in bottles and containers.

HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene): Found in milk jugs and detergent bottles.

PP (Polypropylene): Used in food containers and automotive parts.

Benefits of Plastic Recycling

Environmental Conservation: Reduces plastic waste in landfills and oceans.

Resource Efficiency: Saves petroleum used in virgin plastic production.

Energy Savings: Consumes less energy compared to producing new plastics.

Economic Opportunities: Creates jobs in collection, processing, and manufacturing.

Challenges in Plastic Recycling

Contamination: Non-recyclable materials mixed with plastics reduce efficiency.

Complexity of Sorting: Multiple plastic types require advanced separation methods.

Market Demand: Fluctuations in demand for recycled plastics impact profitability.

Innovations in Plastic Recycling

Emerging technologies like chemical recycling, enzymatic breakdown, and AI-driven systems are revolutionizing plastic recycling, making it more efficient and environmentally friendly.

How You Can Contribute

Properly sort and clean recyclable plastics before disposal.

Support products made from recycled materials.

Participate in local recycling initiatives and awareness programs.

Conclusion

The plastic recycling process is vital for a sustainable future. By understanding and supporting recycling efforts, we can collectively reduce plastic waste and conserve resources. From individuals to industries, every action counts in creating a cleaner, greener planet.

Okay yeah that's what I thought

Well maybe then you should read the op again bc it was very much about companies being like "oh we're so proud of using plastic instead of animal products 🥰" like they gave a single shit about it, bc no matter what plastic is STILL bad for the environment, and if they did gave a single shit they would use durable methods of tanning, make more durable products and work only with materials from organic and animal wellbeing focused farms, and makes it so it's still somehow affordable.

Corporations don't give a single shit about animals or environment and that was what the post was about, not about the consumer side of the problem.

companies will be like “we’re so proud we don’t make anything with feathers, leather or fur” and then make stuff out of synthetic materials that will not decompose but will shed micro-plastics with every wash like…..yas so good for the animals so animals rights
