- Balrampur Chini Mills Limited is set to venture into Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) manufacturing with a new fully integrated facility.
- ~The new venture will facilitate the establishment of India’s first-ever industrial bio-plastic plant~
- With an estimated investment of Rs. 2000 crores in phases over a period of around 2.5 years, the new project is aimed to fuel India’s journey towards achieving net zero emissions by 2070.
- Expected to be completed within a period of 30 months, the new venture will mark the establishment of the first-ever industrial bioplastic plant in India. The state-of-art PLA factory will command a whopping capacity at “global” scale of 75’000 t/a.
- To expedite the construction of the new plant, it will be located on a “greenfield site”, beside one of the existing sugar plants, wherein a significant proportion of the local infrastructure already exists.
- The efficient usage of sugar as a raw material, to produce Polylactic Acid (PLA) and bioplastics marks the onset of a significant shift from the current linear consumption manufacturing paradigm to the one, led by circular and regenerative principles.
- Additionally, most of India’s current SUP (Single Use Plastic) consumption and its respective applications can be replaced by PLA and PLA compounds.
