Hyderabad: Ramky Enviro Engineers Limited (REEL), a Hyderabad-based environment management services company, inaugurated its plastic recycling facility at JN Pharmacity in Vishakhapatnam on Thursday.
Spanning over three acres with a capacity to handle 1 MT/hour of plastics waste, this new recycling facility at Visakhapatnam hosts sophisticated infrastructure for recycling industrial and domestic plastic wastes. Equipped with the best technology in the recycling industry, the facility performs de-dusting, shredding, two-stage washing, squeezing and granulation. It also houses blown-film bag-making and bag-printing machinery to produce high-quality multi-purpose plastic bags such as grocery bags, biomedical bags and garbage bags, which are above 51 microns and comply with SPCB/CPCB norms.
"Today, it is estimated that annually India generates 9.46 million tonnes of plastic waste out of which 40 per cent remains untreated. With the launch of this new one of south India's largest plastic recycling facilities in the pharma city, we will be able to pre-process and up-cycle industrial plastic waste as well as domestic post-consumer plastic waste into high-quality recycled plastic granules that can be used for manufacturing plastic products and packaging," said Satish Cheeti, Chief Executive Officer, Ramky Reclamation & Recycling Limited.
