Synopsis NCL Study – PET recycling in India Dec 2017

• NCL has documented 40 polyester fiber manufacturers, spread over 4

locations in India, with a total capacity ~800 KTPA, individual plant

capacities ranging from 3 KTPA to 60 KTPA , use recycled PET for

manufacturing various items.

• 82 % of the manufacturing units ( by capacity ) using recycled PET as a

raw material are located in 7 states – UP, Uttarakhand, Gujrat ,

Maharashtra , Punjab, Rajasthan , Himachal Pradesh

• 65 -70 % of PET consumed in India is recycled through the organized

sector. The rest of the PET waste generated is recycled through the

unorganized sector.

• As PET bottles are 100 % recyclable and have intrinsic economical value

these bottles are invariably picked up by the waste collectors.

• In India, washed flakes are mostly ( ~95 % ) used to make POY,FF, PSF,

non – Woven products.

Value Chain of PET Recycling : Indian Landscape

12

Waste Collectors

• Collects all recyclable waste

• Gets Rs 12-14/kg

Kabadiwala

• Buys all the waste from waste colelctors such as glass, plastics, steel etc.

• Gets Rs 18-20/kg

Aggregator

• Sgregates only plastic from the waste received from Kabadiwala

• Gets Rs 22-25/kg

Trader / Baler

• Receives PET waste in bulk, sorts, bales and sends to recyclers

• Gets Rs 33-35/kg

Recyclers

• Removes labels, caps, rings, washes, makes flakes, spins to fibers.

• Gets Rs 55-60/kg

Institutions

• Waste from institutions such as offices / hotels / malls etc.

• Gets Rs 18-20/kg
