A greenfield recycling plant, worth INR 220 crore, will be established in in Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s home turf Gorakhpur. 

A joint venture between DPIPL, SLMG Beverages, and Coca-Cola India, it aims to produce 36,000 MT of recycled PET flakes and 24,000 MT of PET granules annually, addressing India’s plastic waste challenge.

The joint venture combines the expertise of three major stakeholders: DPIPL, a leader in plastic recycling; SLMG Beverages, a long-time bottling partner of Coca-Cola which announced that Bihar will get its first Coca-Cola plant in Nawanagar, Buxar three months ago and Coca-Cola India, which brings its global sustainability commitment through the “World Without Waste” initiative.

The facility is designed to integrate advanced technology sourced from global leaders, including Sorema, Tomra Sorting, and Erema. This high-tech approach will ensure precision and efficiency, enabling the plant to meet international standards for quality and sustainability.

Alongside, an in-house laboratory will maintain strict quality control, testing both raw materials and the finished products to meet regulatory requirements such as those set by FSSAI and the US FDA.

The project not only promises environmental benefits but also socio-economic impacts.
