Plastic Free India Campaign

The campaign is designed to reduce the requirement for the landfill disposal of plastics packaging waste, which until now, has been the option for country like India. Landfill disposal is already overburdened in every city and subject to increasingly tight environmental legislation. These increasing restrictions make landfill disposal less financially viable and less attractive to the waste generator. The aim is to encourage, initially at commercial locations, the segregation of the waste at source and deliver this to the facility with the minimum of inconvenience to all involved parties.

A comprehensive business plan was prepared to cover the start-up period 2020 -2030. The business plan showed that the facility would come into profit by October 2018. Currently, waste is being collected from all available sources and being sent through ‘dusting process’ – residents, apartments, hotels, schools, parks, shops, university, shopping malls etc. and it is estimated that about 3-4 tonnes/ day would be collected. Another objective of the project is to collect dry waste from the source itself.
