Turning Plastic Waste into Sustainable

 Team Name :

Plastic waste has become a critical global issue, with millions of
tons discarded annually into landfills, oceans, and natural
environments. Non-biodegradable plastic persists for hundreds of
years, contributing to pollution, harming wildlife and disrupting
ecosystems. Marine animals, often mistaking plastic for food,
suff er from ingestion, entanglement, and even death.
Microplastics, broken-down particles, infiltrate water bodies, soil,
and food chains, posing health risks to humans and animals alike.
This matters because the unchecked accumulation of plastic
waste accelerates environmental degradation, endangering
biodiversity, ecosystems, and human well-being. Plastic waste also
contributes to climate change, as its production and degradation
release greenhouse gases. Addressing this problem through
sustainable solutions like recycling, waste reduction, and the
production of eco-friendly alternatives is essential. By using this
• technology, we can reuse the waste plastic and
Introduction:
help the environment by reducing the waste.
We specialize in manufacturing high-quality polymer-based threads for
various industries. Our mission is to provide consistent, reliable, and durable
threads to meet the diverse needs of our customers and to make the proper
use of the waste products .

material.

Pre-Treatment

The PET pellets are dried and cleaned to remove impurities,


ensuring a consistent thread.
Melting, Extrusion, and
Thread Formation

1 Melting

The PET pellets are heated to a precise temperature,


shreding it into flakes.

2 Extrusion

The flex is then melted down in the extruder,


creating thin threads of the desired diameter.

3 Thread Formation

The extruded threads are carefully guided and


cooled, solidifying into the desired thread shape.
Cooling, Stretching, and
Winding Processes
Cooling

The newly formed threads are cooled rapidly to


maintain their shape and strength.

Stretching

The threads are stretched to achieve the desired


tensile strength and uniformity.

Winding

The finished threads are wound onto spools for


packaging and distribution.
Shredder Machine :
The cleaned plastic is then shredded into smaller pieces or
flakes to
facilitate the recycling process. The cost of this machine is
around
50-65k.
Plastic Waste Extrusion Machine :
The molten plastic flakes is pushed through spinnerets (metal
plates
with tiny holes). As the plastic passes through the holes, it
forms thin

• Business
Competition :
There are only 2 factories established in India :
1. Tamil Nadu.
2. Gujarat.
3. Reliance Industries (R|Elan GreenGold)
As Maharashtra is the largest producer of PET plastic
waste,it reduces the import cost, it helps in reducing
plastic waste and make useful products using the waste
material.We can collect more raw material which
manufactures more threads.
• Conclusion :
This business presents a solid opportunity to turn plastic waste into profit while addressing one of the world’s most pressing
environmental issues. With growing demand for sustainable materials, strong partnerships, and eco-conscious consumers,
this venture is both impactful and profitable. Take action today to be part of the solution, transforming waste into sustainable
innovation!
