Plastic is indispensable in the lives of humans. Everywhere you see, every product today has some elements of plastics in it. The mask we wear, the syringes we use, packaging, consumer products, new and renewable energy, automobiles, agriculture, healthcare, telecom, defence, aerospace, infrastructures and many other sectors. The fourth industrial revolution is constantly in the minds of the industry leaders. Industry 4.0 in the plastic sector signals the latest robotic technology and artificial intelligence are being deployed, creating a rapidly evolving landscape.
The Indian plastics sector is expanding rapidly, with output and consumption increasing manifold during the previous three decades. Today, one of the primary goals of India’s plastic bodies is to significantly contribute to exports and position India as one of the world’s leading manufacturers of plastic. The present economic climate, supported by the introduction of the Government of India’s ‘Atmanirbhar’ campaign and ‘Vocal for Local’ effort, offers encouragement to the plastics sector and significant export potential. “In 2019-20, India’s plastics exports totalled USD 10.00 billion (approximately Rs 76,264 crore), with the figure predicted to rise to USD 25.00 billion (approximately Rs 1,90,661 crore) by 2025,” claimed Jigish Doshi, president PlastIndia Foundation.
