Magpet Polymers Pvt Ltd, Eastern India’s largest PET Converter Company, announced their food quality bottle-to-bottle R-PET project.

The announcement was made in the presence of Janab Firhad Hakim, Mayor & MIC of Urban Development & Municipal Affairs, Dr. Shashi Panja, MIC Department of Industries, Commerce & Enterprises, Public Enterprises & Industrial Reconstruction Govt. of WB, and Dr. Kalyan Rudra Chairman of West Bengal Pollution Control Board. On behalf of MAGPET Mr. Devendra Surana, Managing Director of MAGPET was present at the event.

Looking at the future trend of using food-grade R- PET in the Industry, Magpet will be setting up this Bottle-to-Bottle Food Grade (B2B) R-Pet project in Bengal. This R-PET project will put Bengal on the Global Pet Recycling Map and ensure the recycling of post-consumer PET bottles within Bengal – thereby reducing the consumption of virgin resins and thus facilitating a green & sustainable environment with a lower carbon footprint in the state. This R-Pet Project will also be a step in integrating the informal recycling sector of Bengal into the mainstream industry segment. This state-of-the-art project is being set up with European Technology with a capital outlay of Rs. 100+ Cr.

Magpet also introduced Smart Bins that day for the city’s use in PET bottle disposal. The SMART Bin is a novel, useful, visually pleasing, technologically enabled, and economically viable solution for the collection of plastic waste. The Indian environment has been taken into account in the design of the Smart Bins, allowing for a greater audience. The enormous size of the bin makes it easier to gather lots of used plastic bottles. The bin contains a special sensor that sends notifications of the fill level to the data management center promptly and efficiently.

After the project launch, there was a symposium called “Ecologue 2023,” where specialists from top petrochemical producers and international FMCG companies shared their predictions for the future of PET packaging and its recycling. This organization’s major mission is to encourage waste reduction, recycling, and a litter-free, clean India.
