KVIC’s REPLAN (REducing PLAstic in Nature) project has completed one year.
About:
KVIC has started manufacturing of plastic-mixed handmade paper at Kumarappa National Handmade Paper Institute (KNHPI), a KVIC unit in Jaipur under its project REPLAN (REducing PLAstic in Nature).
In this project, the waste plastic is collected, cleaned, chopped, beaten and treated for softness. After that, it is mixed with the paper raw material i.e. cotton rags pulp in a ratio of 80 % (pulp) and 20% (plastic waste).
The institute has sold over six lakh handmade plastic mixed carry bags since September 2018.
The project is a part of KVIC’s commitment to Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan.
