The plastic project has been listed under the Plastic Waste Reduction Standard of Verra – the Washington based accreditation that is a cornerstone standard globally for the implementation of various climate projects. Verra enabled the listing of plastic projects a year back and today EKI has become the first company to accomplish this milestone of listing India's first ever-plastic project for plastic waste mitigation certifications.
The project ensures that plastic waste – predominantly Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) waste, PET flakes and chips is duly sourced and recycled to produce Recycled Polyester Staple Fibre (RPSF) that can be further used in the textile industry for garments and other fabric based utility products.
