“The plant named Constantia Ecoflex Ahmedabad is located in Gujarat in India, which is the perfect market to implement such a forward-looking project.”

India was chosen for the site due to the country’s early awareness of recycling waste and the adoption of Plastic Waste Management Rules in 2016.

The rules encourage eliminating single-use plastic such as pouches completely by 2022 and removing all non-recyclable multi-layered plastic. The site has started test runs in September.

Covering an area of approximately 24,500m², the new facility currently employs 50 people and the number is expected to triple by the second quarter of next year.
