The Yogi Adityanath led Uttar Pradesh government is set to establish a bioplastic park in Uttar Pradesh with an investment of Rs 2,000 crore.

This park will be developed over 1,000 hectares in Kumbhi village, Gola Gokarnnath tehsil, Lakhimpur Kheri district, officials said.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has directed that the project be completed as soon as possible. The Bioplastic Park will be constructed by Balrampur Sugar Mill Firm, creating a large number of jobs and paving the way for the establishment of many other supporting industries in the area.

The Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) will serve as the nodal agency for the park’s development.

Bioplastic is a type of plastic made from natural materials such as corn, sunflower, or sugar beet, also known as natural plastic. It decomposes quickly, thereby reducing environmental pollution.
