India consumes an estimated 16.5 million tonnes, about 1.6 million trucks full of plastic annually, as per this June 2018 report in Down to Earth that cites data provided by PlastIndia Foundation, a conglomeration of associations and institutions that deal in plastic. Of this amount, about 43 percent of plastics are manufactured for single-use packaging material that will mostly find its way into garbage bins.

In all, 80 percent of the total plastic produced in India is discarded. It mostly ends up choking landfills, drains and rivers and flows into the sea where it is ingested by marine animals. It leaches into soil and water, contaminating the natural environment with poisonous dioxins. At least 40 percent of the plastic waste generated every day--25,940 tonnes or about 2,594 truckloads go uncollected.

The idea was generated after strong research by myself and with the guidance of my father who has experience of 40 years in building products, which made me bring this product that can bring cost-effective solutions for the building materials.

The courteous entrepreneur endeavors to make the environment better and suitable for the masses. While a lot of discussions circle today around subjects of global warming and environmental threats or recycling and utilizing natural resources that are exhausting, I with an intuitive mindset am framing and executing the concept of Up cycle.

I used to be in pain to see urban trash, mainly in the form of plastic, littering the beautiful countryside. This would then drive me to reflect on the purpose of my life. Since my college days, I had always wished to be an entrepreneur and had spent countless hours bouncing various business ideas with my friends. It was time, I thought, to put some of these ideas into action and do something worthwhile about things close to my heart.

Starting this Company in 2019, based in Coimbatore, we began to upcycle plastic films and scraps, turning them into usable forms. While we witnessed the condition of the dumped garbage, we also realized and witnessed the deteriorating state of plastic being dumped in oceans and around. Thus, concerned with the environment and its hazards, Reproc was formed.

We at Reproc aim to protect nature and emphasize “Think Green” as a sturdy concept to save the planet earth. My idea envisions recycling the used plastic forms like tetra packets, plastic films, chocolate wrappers and others to a Regenerated plastic, which is a perfect replacement for Plywood.

My vision and mission through this enterprise are to build a better and safer environment and protect Mother Earth. As natural resources are already extinct, I pledge to personally and professionally contribute to making this planet better and greener. We aim at bringing the products at low cost-effective so that it serves each and everyone’s dreams of building their homes.

I as an enthusiastic and dynamic entrepreneur believe that recycling waste plastic forms and up cycling them can provide quality and substantial products with guaranteed safety measures and is an entrepreneurial venture worth centering upon. A much-needed enterprise such as Reproc is moving ahead in this journey of saving the planet without any element of doubt.
