Milestone for groundbreaking PET bottle-to-bottle recycling project in India

Hyderabad, India – Srichakra, the PET recycling pioneers in India, will now rely on the exceptional decontamination performance of the Liquid State Polycondensation (LSP) process developed by NGR for the processing of post-consumer PET.

“We have invested in the future and are consciously moving ahead to adapt the best of the world technologies in PET recycling. We have had our share of exposure to the long-established Solid State Polycondensation (SSP) process, which decontaminates PET in the solid phase. We have been early adopters to new technologies around the globe and have them brought into India over the last few years. We believe that cleaning the PET melt in the liquid phase, as done in the LSP process, can significantly be more effective and can remove almost all harmful substances in the PET melt. This gives us the opportunity to supply high-quality, food-grade rPET pellets from our state-of-the-art facility in Tamilnadu, India.” says Mr. Ravindra, CEO of Srichakra

Srichakra relies on the extensive experience of the recycling machine manufacturers from Upper Austria. The LSP technology implemented by NGR allows for precise viscosity control and ensures consistent high quality of the recycled PET. This means that the recycled bottles meet the same high standards as their newly manufactured counterparts.

The planned commissioning of the advanced facility in 2024 marks a significant milestone towards a circular economy in the country.

By investing in NGR’s innovative LSP technology, Srichakra emphasizes the company’s mission to revolutionize the recycling industry.

The adoption of this efficient PET processing method is an important step on this path, guaranteeing uncompromised material cleaning in the shortest time and at the highest level.

Thus, Srichakra is investing in tomorrow’s standards and, together with NGR, paving the way towards a sustainable future.
