Pashupati Group, an India-based mechanical and chemical recycler of PET and polyolefins, continues to make strides in the Indian plastics recycling market.
After entering partnerships with Sabic and Borouge, the company has now joined forces with Recykal, an Indian start-up which recently launched an app-based marketplace for recycled plastics. The platform enables buyers who require small to large volumes of recycled materials to source it from hundreds of authorised recyclers across India.
Customers will now be able to source recycled resins from Pashupati Group in Recykal’s marketplace. The collaboration is a response to ‘increasing demand from brands and manufacturers’, the companies said in a statement.
"This collaboration allows to accelerate the supply of regular and consistent quality post-consumer recycled resin complying with international quality standards,” said Bankey Bihari Goenka, managing director at Pashupati Group.
Pashupati operates waste management services under the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) legislation for plastics introduced in India in 2016. The company uses its Waste Circularity mobile app to collect plastic waste in challenging terrains, including mountains and coastal areas, in addition to serving urban and rural settings. It collects 12 million PET bottles and 2 million polyolefin bottles a day.
