Sustainability has always been at the back of our heads. Our road to circular economy had been just an idea, a notion, a discussion that never went outside the room, but it wasn’t short of a vision.

After talks over talks, gaps were slowly teeming with the inclusion of the right people and the right process. Today, Ravago India are excited to set the wheels in motion to bring about an initiative that will offer recycling solutions to plastic producers all over India.

A system that supports government regulations as well as drive a sustainable environment for the forthcoming generations.

What is this system?

It is called the Ravago Recycling Program.

In 2016, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) was introduced into the Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016. This was done to prevent the dumping of plastic waste in landfills that would impact the environment hazardously and to assign responsibility for the end-of-life of a product to the producer itself.

For many producers this obligation would only add to their costs and to subsidize that Ravago India have taken up the task of recycling for them, to them but by us.

So how does this work?

We offer producers two modes of recycling, depending on their needs.

Closed Loop.

Our closed loop process offers producers a sit-back-and-relax kind of routine. We would pick up their plastic scrap, recycle it at our factory and send it back to them. Sounds pretty straight forward.

Open Loop.

The open loop is when the producer does not want to take back the recycled plastic, so we offer it to the open market. There are lot of traders who are more than ready to take this material.

We’re able to take up a variety of scrap, ranging from your commonly found yarn scrap (PA 6 & 66), HDPE drums, PC & ABS sheets to disposed battery scrap (PPCP) and many more

These two programs create a diverse and comprehensive recycling system that producers can benefit from as a means to their ethical obligations while also adding to their CSR.

We have begun roping in big names to be part of this potentially large-scale project, but before we let the snowball roll down the mountain, we want to get a bundle of customers on board the bandwagon.

The main idea is to support the Government in not only reducing plastic imports but also chopping mountains of landfills.

As the EPR mandates, manufacturers and importers bear a significant degree of responsibility for the environmental impacts of their products throughout the product life cycle.

With initiatives rising up to curb plastic pollution, we want to lend a helping hand to create a sustainable environment with our version of a circular economy.

We maybe a plastic trading company but we recognize the intrinsic value of discarded plastic.
