Lindner Expands to India
Austrian engineering firm Lindner has continued its expansion with the foundation of Lindner Recyclingtech Bharat (India) LLP with its headquarters in Delhi.
Together with Chirag Verma, Co-owner of Lindner Bharat, and Ganesh Karankal, Sales Director of plastics recycling, the aim is to develop sustainable recycling solutions for the waste and plastics industry.
“India, with its 1.4 billion people, is the second most highly populated country in the world and is presently the fifth largest economic power,” Lindner emphasized. “While about 62 million tons of waste is produced every year and rising, the rate of recycling, which varies depending on the type of waste and region, still has growth potential.” A range of initiatives by the Indian government were intended to raise the population’s awareness of this issue and help to increase the amount of waste recycled. “However, as well as regulation, recycling requires appropriate technologies so that the wide range of reusable materials – including plastics, electronic scrap, and commercial, industrial and domestic waste – can be fed back into the circular economy.”
