    Global Conclave on Plastic Recycling and Sustainability Kicks Off in New Delhi

    The conclave serves as a crucial platform for discussing innovations in recycling technologies, biodegradable alternatives, and effective waste management strategies, aligning with India’s ambitious zero waste objectives.

    The Global Conclave on Plastic Recycling and Sustainability (GCPRS) commenced today at Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan, marking a pivotal moment in India’s commitment to addressing plastic waste challenges. The event was inaugurated by the secretary of the union ministry of chemicals and fertilizers, Nivedita Shukla Verma.

    Joining the inaugural session was Mercy Epao, joint secretary of the union ministry of micro, small and medium Enterprises, along with The All India Plastics Manufacturers Association (AIPMA) President Manish Dedhia and Chemicals and Petrochemicals Manufacturers Association (CPMA) President Kamal Nanavati.

    The joint initiative by the All India Plastics Manufacturers’ Association (AIPMA) and the Chemicals and Petrochemicals Manufacturers’ Association (CPMA) underscores the industry’s proactive approach towards environmental stewardship. The conclave not only highlights advancements in plastic recycling but also underscores the imperative for collaborative efforts in mitigating environmental impacts associated with plastic consumption.

    The conference saw participation from key stakeholders in the plastics industry, highlighting a concerted effort towards enhancing recycling practices amid global concerns over plastic waste management.

    In her address, Nivedita Shukla Verma underscored the importance of collaborative efforts in achieving sustainable solutions. She applauded the organisers for prioritizing a critical issue at a time when only a fraction of global plastic waste is recycled while emphasising the plastic industry’s economic significance and calling for intensified cooperation across sectors to foster sustainability. She highlighted the government’s plastic waste management rules, noting amendments aimed at expanding their scope and strengthening enforcement.

    Echoing this sentiment, Mercy Epao reaffirmed the ministry of MSME’s support for initiatives promoting sustainable practices within the plastic sector, including plans to establish an advanced export centre in Hyderabad. The event also received backing from various central ministries, illustrating widespread governmental endorsement of sustainable development goals.

    India’s burgeoning plastic recycling industry, expected to reach $6.9 billion by 2033, underscores the nation’s proactive stance on waste management. The GCPRS serves as a crucial platform for discussing innovations in recycling technologies, biodegradable alternatives, and effective waste management strategies, aligning with India’s ambitious zero waste objectives.

    CPMA President Kamal Nanavati emphasized the conclave’s role in fostering global collaboration to address plastic waste challenges comprehensively. Discussions over the four-day event will delve into industry-specific recycling solutions, with specialized sessions targeting sectors such as automotive, electronics, and pharmaceuticals.

    In addition to showcasing cutting-edge recycling technologies, the GCPRS features a CEO-level roundtable and panel discussions exploring regulatory frameworks and industry best practices. The event is set to catalyze new pathways for stakeholders across the plastic value chain, reinforcing India’s commitment to a sustainable circular economy.

    As the GCPRS unfolds, it promises to chart a course for sustainable growth within India’s plastic industry, uniting stakeholders behind shared goals of innovation, responsibility, and environmental conservation.

    Alongside the exhibition on plastic waste recycling technology, the GCPRS will host a CEO-level roundtable on July 4. Panel discussions on July 5 and 6 will cover plastic waste recycling in industries such as automotive, electronics, and pharmaceuticals.
