Did you know

Quantity of Plastic Waste Generated daily in India?

Approximately 26000 tons of plastic waste is generated in India every day and not even half of it gets recycled thus escaping into the environment.
Plastic waste accounts for 8% of the total solid waste generated in India annually
The major waste-generating cities in India are Delhi, followed by Kolkata and Ahmedabad

Facts on the usage of plastic?

As per reports, the production of plastic in India increased from 1600 million metric tonnes approx. in 2014-2015 to 1700 metric tonnes in 2017-2018.
Around 73% of beach litter is Plastic and is increasing day-by-day

What is EPR

EPR stands for extended producers’ responsibility i.e brand owners, importers, producers, or manufacturers are responsible for the treatment and disposal of their post-consumer products. They are required to maintain a proper EPR Action plan to collect back the plastic waste generated due to their products.

EPR Services – Plastic Waste Collection and Disposal Process

The plastic waste generated in bulk production is extremely harmful to the environment, especially when it is dumped into the grounds or pollution-causing garbage dumps. Hence it is necessary to treat and recycle it before it causes harm and deteriorates the soil and its livelihood. Therefore, following EPR rules is mandatory and requires complete cooperation.

By providing Plastic EPR Services, our aim is to help organizations meet obligations under PWM Rules by building the Extended producer responsibility plan and working on modalities for the waste collection system.

Looking at the alarming volumes of MLP waste (Multi-Layered Plastic), the Plastic Waste Management (PWM) Rules were passed in 2016 making it a mandate to phase out all non-recyclable and multi-layered plastic (MLPs) within 2 years. In the following years “multi-layered plastic which is non-recyclable or non-energy recoverable or with no alternate use” were banned.

All Bulk producers and packaging brand owners must meet their market target by channeling the plastic (recyclable or non-recyclable multilayer plastic (MLP)) and be responsible for recycling it, which means that all the generated waste is recycled under conditions that display no harm to the environment.

It is now a liability for the manufacturers and sellers of plastic products to collect the waste generated from their production. For example, the brand owners are liable for their brand packaging, collection, and recycling of the packets and plastic packaging which contain their brand name. This is a great step towards decreasing the amount of waste generated as the companies have started switching plastic with paper or other recyclable raw materials so that it is possible to replace the non-recyclable plastic waste with bioplastics or paper which can be easily renewed.

Environmental protection is a priority! Thus, Plastic Waste Management (PWM), collection and recycling of the MLP waste and EPR is crucial and can be completed with the help of PRO (Producer Responsibility Organizations) or private companies which set up treatment plants along with collection mechanisms by providing recyclers and dismantlers. This helps the bulk waste to be recycled with ease in operations and thus helps meet the EPR targets in a fast-paced and timely manner.

Alternatively, the channelization of waste may be done in-house with the producers including reverse supply chain, deploying take-back schemes or setting up collection centers. Sustainable recycling of waste is mandatory for all bulk consumers, producers and manufacturers of electronic and electrical equipment because sound management of the waste ensures a healthier and safe environment.

EPR is no more left to the discretion of the doers.

For the first time, the State Pollution Control Board has introduced the self-healing plan. So anyone and everyone generating any kind of plastic or e-waste are responsible for its own disposal. Be it offices, commercial establishments, industries, or public event holders (marriage functions, religious gatherings, public meetings etc), all must collect and hand over the waste that was generated or littered in a segregated form and also pay the user fee as per by-laws of the local bodies.

DCC is here to provide plastic waste management services to all brand owners.

We are waste segregation. We recover plastic dumped at waste sites/landfills. We then segregate plastic from mixed waste. Supply plastic to furnaces and boilers for plastic recycling so that non-biodegradable plastic/MLP can be used as a source of energy and we can move toward zerowaste mission and a better earth environment.

IT IS NOT A CHOICE, IT IS A MILLION DOLLAR DECISION!

Items and Areas where plastic is used?

From a comb to a milk packet, when we look around ourselves, we are able to find many things made of plastic, completely or partially.
Nearly 90% of the things we use today are made up of plastic or contain components made of plastic, eg, Banners, pouches, flex, straws, wrappers and much more.
Most of the junk food and packaged food we consume is wrapped in plastic which is not only non-recyclable but also harmful for one’s health.

Impacts of plastic on Water, Soil, Air

Dumping of plastic can deteriorate soil by taking away its organic properties.
The presence of micro plastics in soil affects the life of earthworms and other species.
Impacts underground water quality imparts harmful plastic pieces in the water which are then consumed by humans on a daily basis.
8 million metric tonnes of plastic go to the ocean every year, majorly affecting the marine life.

Solve the plastic problem in India

Tackling the plastic problem is utterly important. Cities in India need a very strict and robust plastic waste management system so as to protect their environment. This involves the following steps which can collectively solve the plastic waste problem in the country.

Quality of recyclable plastic

Plastic is a complex material. Products made out of plastic can contain different types of material together. Since all types of plastics are not recyclable, therefore, recycling of plastic products is not easy as all products are not recyclable.

Plastic recycling is easily done for products made up of single plastic material. Eg PET bottles, thermoplastics (plastics that can be recycled as they can be melted and molded into new products), etc.

Amount of recyclable plastic/reusable plastic

Plastic waste can be used for road construction. Around 1 lakh kilometers of roads have been built in India using discarded plastic.
Recyclable plastic e.g thermoplastic such as PET & PVC. Products made of thermoplastic can be recycled.

RDF Refuse Derived Fuel

Do you know the type of waste that cannot be composed or recycled, still has value? Yes, DCC Group has the power of a refuse-derived fuel service that can process different kinds of waste converting the same into forms of fuel.

What is Refuse-derived Fuel?

RDF or Refused Derived Fuel is identified as the fuel source that is mainly produced using both commercials as well as domestic waste including biodegradable materials like plastics.

In simple terms, the RDF’s fuel is generated using tonnes of municipal or public waste after thoroughly sorting recoverable organic and recyclable waste. It is then transformed into solid fuel which can be easily transportable and can be used instead of conventional solid fuel just like coal.

A refuse-derived fuel process helps generate the energy or power that is used in different recovery facilities. RDF will enable other worldwide businesses to generate electricity, heat, and also other forms of renewable energy to make this world a better place.

The Benefits of RDF in Waste Management

RDF in waste management boasts of a wide array of advantages. And these are:

One of the main benefits of RDF is turning waste into a good source of energy that further aid in the efficient management of Municipal Waste.
The enormous production of RDF and sound utilization of the fuel will end up making the environment safer, cleaner, and greener.
Most RDF plants use mechanical methodologies to suppress MSW and splitting non-combustibles to develop result-driven fuel fractions, hence maximizing productivity.
It is also more economical and safer to transport MSW fuel pallets to power plants industries or elsewhere.
RDF plays a major role in protecting the environment, using the producing energy for good reasons, and focusing on upgrading your business outlook with the go-green concept.
Refused Derived fuel has the capability to unlock future possibilities and able to solve Municipal waste and energy-related issues.

What Type of Waste Our Company can Process?

Our contemporary yet state-of-the-art refuse-derived fuel plant allows for a broad range of components or materials. These includes:

Non-recyclable plastics waste, etc
Paper, Card Board, etc
Cloth, MLP, Tetra Pack, etc
Wood, Plyboard, Toys, etc

With us, you’ll be able to process a wide array of waste materials and transmogrify them into Refuse Derived useable fuel energy.
