Two recycling successes
Deluxe Recycling India Ltd [DRIL] is one such. For over three years now, its plant in Palghar, Maharashtra has been turning out a versatile board that uses no additional chemical glue nor creates any effluent. The Tetra Pak carton waste that it uses as input material confers on the end product many attractive qualities at very low cost.The board is water resistant, termite proof, dampens sound and light weight. It can be sawn, drilled, thermally formed, glued and painted. It has been used in interior design, TV cabinets, furniture, corrugated roofs, kitchen shelving, exhibition stands and earthquake proof housing.
DRIL plant can produce 1500 tonnes of board annually and probably recycles a greater tonnage of carton waste. The board goes by the name ‘EcoLink’ and you can learn more about from here.
