MRF PROJECTS
Plastic, a wonder of Polymer chemistry, it came into Indian market in the late forties but its use increased phenomenally from the 70's with widespread utility in both industrial and domestic sectors. The Plastic industry growth in India has been in step with its growth worldwide.
Plastics have made visible and dramatic changes in the field of consumer products, packaging, agriculture, construction, furniture, Medicare, and telecom and information technology. Plastics are linked to the growth and prosperity of emerging economies like India. Plastics as exceptionally versatile, cost effective and convenient material have become an integral part of our daily lives. It is in fact difficult to imagine a world without plastics.
The development of any industry creates an impact on the environment and the plastic industry is no exception.
Plastics are typically polymers of high molecular mass, of hydrocarbons produced in presence of suitable catalyst, wherein, larger molecules are broken into monomers such as ethylene, propylene, vinyl, styrene and benzene. These monomers are then chemically polymerized into different categories of plastics. All categories of plastics are non-biodegradable accept biodegradable plastics made-up of natural polymers.
PLASTIC WASTE MANAGEMENT ISSUES
It is estimated that approximately 4-5 % post-consumer plastics waste by weight of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is generated in India. The plastics waste constitutes tow major category of plastics; (1) Thermoplastics’ and (2) Thermoset plastics. Thermoplastics, constitutes 80% and Thermoset, constitutes approximately 20% of total post-consumer plastics waste. The Thermoplastics are recyclable plastics which include; PET, LDPE, PVC, HDPE, PP, PS etc., however, Thermoset plastics contains Alkyd, Epoxy, Ester, Melamine Formaldehyde, Phenolic Formaldehyde, Silicon, Urea Formaldehyde, Polyurethane, Metalised and Multilayer Plastics etc.
The major problem in plastics waste management is of collection, segregation and disposal. At present, the plastics waste disposal is done through unorganised sectors i.e. Ragpickers and Kabadiwalas. More importantly, the collection, segregation and to an extent disposal system is carried out through unscientific method which create environmental problem as well as an "Eyesore". Therefore, there is need to reorganise whole recycling process and in this context, CPCB has enlightened this issue to a extent by developing new recycling technique as well as developed innovative technologies for disposal of plastics waste such as "re-engineering the recycling process".
