Plastic waste management
Most plastic waste ends up in landfills, rivers and oceans. End-to-end management keeps it in the economy as granules, building products and finished goods — and keeps brands EPR-compliant.
~9.3M tonnes/yr of plastic waste in India, ~40% single-use
Impact on health & the environment
Plastic pollution threatens biodiversity, human health and urban resilience.
Human health risk
Plastics leach chemicals like BPA and phthalates linked to hormone disruption and cancers.
Marine life
Over 100,000 marine animals die each year from ingestion or entanglement (UNEP, 2022).
Microplastics
Persistent microplastics accumulate in soil and water and enter the food chain.
Importance of plastic waste management
Proper management prevents landfill and ocean leakage, cuts emissions and aligns with a circular economy where materials are reused, not discarded.
- EPR compliance
PIBOs must recover and recycle specified targets of their plastic output. - Recycling targets
Rules push toward full recovery of specified categories. - Single-use plastic ban
Items like cutlery and straws are banned to cut waste at source. - Tracking & reporting
Recovery and recycling activity must be reported to the CPCB.

News & perspectives
Frequently asked questions
What is plastic waste management?
Collecting, sorting (by PET, HDPE, LDPE and colour), recycling and safely disposing of plastic that cannot be recycled.
Why is plastic waste hazardous?
It carries toxic chemicals, persists for centuries and disrupts biodiversity across soil, air and water.
How does managing plastic waste support ESG?
It cuts pollution and emissions (E), formalises informal workers (S) and evidences compliance and traceability (G).
What plastics do you handle?
PET, HDPE, LDPE, PP, PPCP and multi-layer plastics (MLP).
