Ashok Chaturvedi, CMD, UFlex Ltd, shared his insights to build circularity in multi-layered plastics packaging at the Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW) board meeting, held recently, at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), New York. UFlex Ltd., India’s largest multinational in flexible packaging materials and solutions, is credited to be the first company in the world to recycle mixed plastic waste (since 1995) from its recycling facilities in Noida, NCR-India and has been recognised for its efforts by the Davos Recycling Forum and by the Government of India.
At the meeting, Chaturvedi made a strong case for the continued and ubiquitous use of Multi-Layer mixed Plastic (MLP) that provide a barrier that is required for packaging of a number of essential items including food products; enable high-speed packing; are cost-effective, and are 100% recyclable.
His presentation to the AEPW Board included a virtual walkthrough of the UFlex recycling facilities at Noida, Poland and Mexico to recycle and upcycle post-consumer Multi-Layer mixed Plastic Waste into value-added household and industrial plastic products such as dustbins, outdoor furniture, and more. The company runs an advanced injection moulding facility at its Noida site and this was established to recycle granules and to demonstrate various possibilities to the moulding industry. Today, decorative, functional, engineering parts, household and office products, and hundreds of other articles are being manufactured with recycled granules at the recycling facilities.
The company has recycled more than half a million tonne of MLP so far and has spent more than 20 million US dollars in the last financial year at its Poland and Mexico sites.
