Plastics industry is set to achieve great impetus. Concentrated efforts of the
AIPMA are set to fasten the growth rate of plastic consumption to 20 million
tonnes a year from the current 8 million tonnes a year in India. This 5-day event would

Plastics In Agriculture, Automation & Robotics in Plastics Pavilion, Green
Pavilion, Solar Energy Pavilion and Plastics in Medical Pavilion.
Speaking on the
relevance of Plastivision India 2013 Mr. Anand Oza, President – AIPMA
said “"Plastics is one of the biggest contributor to India’s
GDP with the growth rate of 12%-15% per annum, it houses over 50,000
manufacturers and employees of over 40 lakh workers in the plastics industry.
Apart from covering the plastic industry comprehensively at Plastivision India
2013, our aim is to highlight the demands with the government and motivate
policy changes that better the growth of the industry. We appeal for Technology
Upgradation Fund (TUF) like status for the plastic industry from the
government”.
He further added that AIPMA has also
appealed to the government for special Plastic
Parks across India
that would help the industry to flourish more; AIPMA envisages a additional
investment of Rs.25000 Crs including SMEs which will help the Industry in a big
way. Currently plastic parks are taking shape in Northern India at Panipat
Haryana and north Rajasthan, Gujarat at Dahej
and Sanand, Karnataka at Narasapura Industrial Area, Harohalli, and Kerala.”
Commenting on
Plastivision India 2013, Raju Desai, Chairman
of Plastivision India 2013 said “With per capita consumption
of plastics expected to grow rapidly to 20 kgs by 2020 from the current 8 kgs, the
processing industry is looking at growth to cater to the increasing demand from
across India.
We would like to contribute our share to the society and propagate that plastic
is not bad, but it is waste management that needs to be paid attention to.
Hence, we have also undertaken several initiatives nationally for recycling of
plastics. Indeed, at Plastivision India 2013, we would be demonstrating
successfully that usage of plastics is actually taking a load off our precious
non-renewable resources and help the environment".
He further added “initiatives like Plasticulture is a special
campaign wherein the industry is working closely with farmers to use plastics
for enhancing farm productivity. Plastivision India 2013 will also showcase
special pavilion that would further boost the growth of the industry”.
Highlighting
the fact that the
industry is conscious of it’s social responsibilities, Mr Oza briefed
that, the industry and the government need to work together on technology, innovations and infrastructure
for recycling of plastics. As a very large portion of the
manufacturers are in SME sector, the
solutions need to emerge with cooperation between the
processing industry and the policy
makers taking advantage of platforms such as Plastivision India
2013 where all stake holders will be present.
Adding further,
Kailash Murarka, Co-Chairman, “Plastivision
