Recycling is perhaps one of the easiest – yet most effective – ways of making our planet a greener place to live. Dealing with our waste responsibly and taking steps to implement effective recycling solutions is necessary for protecting ourselves and our planet. By separating recyclable materials from other waste, you contribute actively to a better environment.
Secondary fiber, often better known as recovered paper and board, is one of the most widely recycled materials in the world. Recovered paper is used at more than 75% of the paper mills across the world because of the significant cost and energy savings inherent to recycling.
With every tone of recovered paper collected, we reduce CO2 emissions in paper and board manufacturing, save energy and thus achieve a high level of reutilization. This protects our wood and forest resources.
Each ton of paper recycled saves 3 cubic yards of landfill space, 380 gallons of oil and 17 trees, not to mention 4,000 kilowatts of energy and 7,000 gallons of water.
We collect the waste paper of various companies, organizations and institutions and process these to high-quality raw materials.
We sort and process all types of waste paper to bales, which subsequently are transported to paper manufacturing mills.
Raw Material for Paper and Board Industry
Recovered paper and pulp substitutes virgin wood pulp for the production of magazine, newspaper and for packaging and many other industries.

The OCC and paper scraps offered by us are completely environment friendly, majorly used in recycling industries and made into new products.
Polyethylene Terephthalate, commonly abbreviated as “PET”, is a thermoplastic polymer resin of the polyester family. It is most often used in synthetic fibers, as a raw material for plastic bottles and food containers, thermoforming applications, and is also used in engineering resins, mostly in combination with glass fiber.
Products Made From “PET”
PET bottles scrap is used to make new recycled plastic drinking bottles, but it is also used for manufacturing thousands of other products – ranging from various food and plastic containers and packages, clothes and shoes, pillows, carpets, automotive industry and insulation to strapping and pet beds.
We Save Energy and Resources
Making new plastic bottles from recycled material costs much less energy and also uses much less natural resources.
For every ton of plastic recycled, we save nearly 3.8 barrels of crude oil. Moreover, resources are properly sustained in the recycling process; this helps prevent the overuse of raw materials in creating new products.
Environmental consciousness has always been at the heart of our business. Using scrap metal instead of virgin ore generates 97% less mining waste and uses 40% less water.
The amount of energy saved using various recycled metals compared to virgin ore is up to:
Copper Scrap
Copper has numerous industrial and high-tech applications which include heating, cooling and refrigeration, electrical wiring, electronics, power generation and transmission, automotive applications, antimicrobial uses and many more.
Its excellent alloying properties makes it an invaluable metal, as it aids in the formation of bronze, and also brass when combined with zinc. Copper by itself, or in any of its alloys is completely recyclable and can be processed over and over again with no loss of quality.
Excluding wire production, which requires newly refined copper, about 75% of all copper-based products are made from recycled copper.
Aluminum Scrap
Aluminum has many different alloys and it is used in hundreds of industries, especially in the fields of transportation, aerospace, packaging, building and construction. Glitter and liquid-metal paint are made using aluminum pigments.
Aluminum’s physical properties make the metal light in weight, strong, non-corrosive, non-sparkling, non-magnetic, non-toxic and non-combustible.
Aluminum can be recycled continuously with no loss of its qualities. Recycling saves 95 percent of the production of energy needed to create the metal through smelting processes. Nearly 75% of all aluminum ever produced is still in use today.
