Rajkot: Along with the spread of the virus, locking has also maintained another threat under strict control – the spread of plastic waste.
The generation of plastic waste is reduced by 50 to 70 percent.
While this number is very different in seeing plastic waste that comes to the city of Dhoraji and Upnela Rajkot, the Hub processing of plastic waste in this country, it also disappoints the entire economy based on recycled plastic waste.
Waste includes a pocket of the politene, a cement bag shot into these two cities in trucks from around 25 states.
Here, 550 units process 1,000 tons of garbage every day, which for the past five months has been hunger to want raw materials.
At present, the city gets around 300 to 500 tons of waste which imposes many units to reduce manhour.
DALSUKH Vangadiya, President of the Dhoraji Plastic Association said, “The entire processing cycle has been disturbed.
We did not get enough raw materials that produced many units taking two offs and also worked a single shift, instead of the previous three shifts.
Also demand for processed materials has also dried up at The market is because the situation is like locking in many countries.
“The processing unit and recycling of plastic waste has appeared in Dhoraji and upleta over the past four decades that recycle waste including those collected by Ragpickers in the form of polythene pockets and low plastic scraps and high densities.
Recycled plastic is the main raw material for making products such as granules, plastic straps used in agricultural product packaging bags and used by loaders such as trucks to bind goods, twins propellers, water pipes used in units, raw material prices It also increased to Rs 16 per kg from Rs 10 due to shortcomings.
Recycled plastics limit the use of virgin plastic and dhoraji and upleta to export the material to Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and certain African countries very high prices for temporary raw materials in the merchant market demanding large discounts in processed plastics.
We can’t stand losses from both sides.
