Dow Packaging and Lucro Partner in India to Produce Plastic Films
Dow Packaging and Lucro Partner in India to Produce Plastic Films
Dow Packaging and Mumbai-based Lucro Plastecycle are partnering to develop and produce polyethylene films from post-consumer recycled plastics in India. Lucro’s Plast-E-Cycle process converts plastic waste into granules that will then be combined with Dow Packaging’s virgin resins to develop and produce plastic films starting with shrink films and eventually expanding to shipping bags and other applications.
Ujwal Desai, co-founder and managing director of Lucro, stated, “We established Lucro on the belief that there is value to be found in mismanaged plastic waste through recycling. With intent, effort and collaboration across the entire value chain, we can define and build a new plastic value chain that ensures the material is reused and does not end up in the environment. Our partnership with Dow provides us with additional expertise to develop high quality, innovative and recycled-content flexible film for businesses.” Read more about the new collaboration here.
