Propelling plastic circularity through high quality recycled materials

Creating value from plastic waste

At Dalmia, we maximise the value of PET and Polyolefin plastic waste. PET plastic, most commonly in the form of plastic bottles, accounts for over 10% of plastic waste in India. Although 90% of this is collected and recycled1, it is channelled towards traditional applications, resulting in low levels of circularity.

By moving beyond these practices of downcycling PET and through the adoption of technology, Dalmia produces high quality recycled PET (rPET) as well as Polyolefin flakes and granules serving industries across fashion and packaging. The company is also well positioned to lead the way in developing food-grade applications. This achieves maximum value for the plastic waste collected, fostering plastic circularity and benefiting the entire value chain.

Our mission

● Help solve India’s waste management problem and maximise the value of plastic waste by producing quality recycled plastic materials for reuse.

● Provide sustainable and traceable recycled materials meeting the requirements of customer supply chains.

● Reduce overall environmental impact by implementing sustainable initiatives at all levels of business operations and diverting waste streams directed to landfills and water bodies.

Our goals

Increase processing volumes for existing recycled material products and supply of plastic waste by integrating existing aggregators as franchisees to secure quality feedstock and improve traceability.

Establish new factories to expand capabilities and capacity for value-added product categories such as rPET granules for food-grade applications.

Help large consumer brands discharge their extended producer responsibilities.

Help organise the informal sector by establishing a franchise network among trusted aggregators to assure supply of quality feedstock that meets international standards and requirements, while supporting local workers.

Improve our sustainability credentials from all angles operationally to expand our environmental impact.
