Sustainability Initiatives Towards Green Packaging
Creating 'wealth out of waste' by recycling post-consumer PET
Bottles, Mixed Plastic MLP waste and MLP Aseptic Packaging
1) PCR & PCPR Lines in Noida - UFlex commissioned two lines in its Noida plants in 2020
to wash and recycle Post-consumer PET Bottle & Mixed Plastic Waste Collected from
Delhi-NCR. The Post Consumer Recyclate (PCR line) converts the post consumer PET
bottle waste to form chips. These PET bottles are crushed, washed and dried up to form
chips and further upcycled to manufacture UFlex' range of green packaging film with PCR
content Asclepius TM. The PCR line in Noida has capacity to recycle PET bottle waste up to
800 tons a month. The Post-Consumer Plastic Recyclate (PCPR) line washes and recycles
post-consumer mixed plastic MLP waste and recycles them into granules. The granules
derived can be used to form numerous industrial and household products like flower
pots, outdoor furniture, bucket, dustbins, paver tiles, road dividers etc. The PCPR line in
Noida has a capacity to recycle upto 850 tons of MLP waste in a month. The post-
consumer waste for Noida lines is sourced from NGOs, Producer
Responsibility Organizations (PRO) as well as Producers & Brand Owners directly.

2) Replicating Recycling Infrastructure in Poland & Mexico UFlex commissioned a
recycling plant in Poland to reprocess post-consumer multi-layer mixed plastic waste into
granules. These recycled granules will be further used to make molded, injection molded
and extrusion molded components. Besides replicating the Poland recycling line for post-
consumer multi-layer mixed plastic waste recycling in Mexico as well, the company will
be operating a rPET/PCR line in the Mexican facility to reprocess post-consumer PET
bottles into recycled content polyester resins further upcycled to form Asclepius™. The
waste will be sourced in both the countries via urban local bodies.
3) Recycling of Multi-Layered Aseptic Packaging - UFlex has invested in an advanced
Enzymatic Delamination Technology to enable aseptic packaging recycling. Enzymatic
delamination utilizes enzymes to break down the bonding between different layers of
the packaging materials, allowing for the separation of individual layers such as paper
and polyethylene/foil laminate which can be reused in the production of new products.
UFlex has established a cutting-edge facility for recycling aseptic packaging in Gwalior.
