Keshawi and Arvind Mehta were welcomed from the POLYKUM-CEOs Dr. Patrick Hirsch und Peter Putsch (f.l.t.r) in the Chemical Triangle. \u00a9 Exipnos<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The Indian company Keshawin Bio-polymers, based in Mumbai, will produce biodegradable plastics from German Exipnos GmbH under license from January. The cooperation agreed in September is a further result of the partnership founded in 2020 between the All India Plastics Manufacturers’ Association (AIPMA) and the support association for polymer development and plastics technology POLYKUM, from which science and research in the region also benefit.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around two dozen students from Martin Luther University and Merseburg University of Applied Sciences eagerly followed Arvind Mehta’s remarks at the Fraunhofer Institute for Materials and Systems (IMWS) on Halle’s Weinberg campus at the beginning of September. In his presentation, the Chairman of the 22,000-member Indian Plastics Industry Association AIPMA described the breathtaking growth of his industry over the past 30 years. The twenty-fold increase in demand for plastics during this time has made what is now the world’s most populous country the world’s largest producer in many areas, such as thermal protection films, synthetic resins and rotationally molded tanks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

But Mehta<\/strong> also didn’t hide the downside: “Production all too often entails social and ecological costs that are unacceptable,” analyzed the founder and owner of the 250-employee company Welset in Mumbai: “These include long working hours, poor working conditions and… environmental destruction.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Effects that the entrepreneur has personally declared war on. A few years ago, he founded the Arvind Mehta Technology and Entrepreneurship Center in Mumbai under the umbrella of AIPMA, where specialists and managers for the plastics industry are trained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cModern qualifications are the decisive prerequisite for even more globally marketable products, resource-saving production and higher revenues, which in turn enable better pay and shorter working hours,\u201d he summarized his experiences from over five decades as an entrepreneur. \u201cWe also need a lot more environmentally friendly products.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

That was also why Arvind Mehta came to the Central German Chemical Triangle with his daughter Keshawi that day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cToday we are signing a license agreement with Merseburger Exipnos GmbH,\u201d announced Keshawi Mehta<\/strong> on the sidelines of the lecture event. The company she runs, Keshawin Bio-polymers, based in Mumbai, will \u201cmanufacture biodegradable plastics from the BioCelain brand developed by Exipnos under license from the beginning of 2024 and will sell them in particular on the Indian market,\u201d the entrepreneur added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This makes Keshawin Bio-polymers one of the pioneers on the subcontinent, as the entrepreneur made clear in her subsequent lecture at the Fraunhofer Institute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWhile the global market for bioplastics was still young and reached a volume of $7.5 billion last year, less than a twentieth of that was sold in India.\u201d In the next four years, bioplastic sales are expected to triple in the world’s most populous country. \u201cWe want to contribute to this growth with BioCelain,\u201d said Keshawi Mehta<\/strong> resolutely.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The contract between the Indian and the German company is a further result of the cooperation concluded in 2020 between the All India Plastics Manufacturers’ Association (AIPMA) and the German supporting association POLYKUM. Regardless of the restrictions during the corona pandemic, the collaboration has since been brought to life. Arvind Mehta’s company Welset became a full member of POLYKUM. In addition, there was growing scientific exchange and mutual presentations by both partners at important conferences in the other country as well as joint trade fair appearances. In 2021, India became\u00a0 partner country at the \u201cBIOPOLYMER \u2013 Processing & Molding\u201d congress organized by POLYKUM, which has since met with a continued, broad response on the subcontinent.<\/p>\n\n\n
