The company said it would be India\u2019s first such integrated biopolymer plant that will help in replacing single use plastic. The ground breaking ceremony was conducted by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To come up adjacent to the company\u2019s existing sugar factory in Kumbhi, Uttar Pradesh the unit will be operational in October 2026 and will source its raw material from the sugar mill. \u201cIt is expected to enhance resource efficiency and optimise supply chain management,\u201d the company said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\u00a0global technology providers include Sulzer from Switzerland, Alpine\u00a0Engineering GmbH from Austria and Jacobs Solutions Inc from the U.S.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis\u00a0plant is going to be India\u2019s first industrial scale biopolymer plant\u00a0& also set a new global benchmark. It will be powered by 100%\u00a0renewable energy for its entire\u00a0production process, and also the first\u00a0plant location where sugarcane is transformed into PLA in a single,\u00a0integrated site, showcasing a truly closed-loop sustainability\u00a0model,\u201d\u00a0the company said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With an annual production capacity of 80,000 tonnes per annum, the plant will produce 100% industrially compostable & bio-based PLA- Poly Lactic acid which finds a wide range of applications in the manufacturing of bio degradable plastic replacement products such as straws, disposable cutlery, food trays, bottles, curd cups, and carry bags by small scale manufacturing units. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This PLA can also be anaerobically digested to produce biogas and fertilizer, tackling both waste and emissions.Vivek\u00a0Saraogi, Chairman &\u00a0Managing Director, Balrampur Chini Mills\u00a0Limited said, \u201cThe establishment of India\u2019s first PLA biopolymer\u00a0manufacturing facility represents a monumental leap in our\u00a0nation\u2019s\u00a0industrial sustainability journey.\u201d
\u201cBy producing PLA at\u00a0industrial scale, we are not only reducing dependence on fossil fuels\u00a0but also setting new benchmarks for responsible manufacturing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avantika Saraogi, Executive Director, Balrampur Chini Mills Limited said, \u201cThis plant will augment in positioning Uttar Pradesh as a leader in biopolymer production, boosting industrial growth and making India a key player in the bio-based economy, globally by tapping into the rich biomass reserves of the country and paving the way for its emergence as a key export hub.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
