Who we are

LET'S CLEAN INDIA THROUGH RECYCLING

Hamara Plastics, established in 2016 as a partnership firm, embodies a powerful mission: "Let's Clean India through Recycling." Founded by visionary individuals Shiyad C Ali, Nibu Kasim and Shareef PB, who have been actively involved in the field since 2008, our company has been actively engaged in environmental stewardship by partnering with organizations like Kerala Sujithwa Mission, Haritha Mission, Municipality, and Panchayat. Our dedication to the principles of the Three R's (Reuse, Reduce, Recycle) is at the core of our operations, as we process an impressive 20 tons of waste daily.

Mission to transform plastic waste into new products of great value

We are on a mission to transform millions of tons of plastic waste into new products of great value, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable Kerala. Our work aligns with the broader efforts of Kerala Sujithwa Mission, Haritha Mission, Municipality, and Panchayat to create a greener, healthier, and more environmentally conscious state. At Hamara Plastics, we are unwavering in our commitment to creating a better future for our world through recycling, even the seemingly non-recyclable. From molds in stores to pens in schools and plastic gloves in manufacturing facilities, we are equipped to collect and recycle nearly any form of plastic waste. Our end-to-end waste management services cater to a diverse clientele, including individual collectors, companies, retailers, manufacturers, municipalities, NGOs, and small businesses.

We collect plastic waste from a variety of sources

At Hamara Plastics, we collect plastic waste from a variety of sources, including thousands of scrap pickers, Haritha karma sena, shops, and more. Once collected, our state-of-the-art facilities carefully segregate this waste based on grades and colors, categorizing it into PP (Polypropylene), HD (High-Density), LD (Low-Density), MLP (Multi Layered Plastic), PE (Polyethylene), HM (High Molecular Weight), and colors such as Red, Green, Yellow, Orange, Blue, and more. Following the sorting process, the next step is washing. After the plastics have been categorized, they undergo thorough cleaning. This step is crucial to remove any impurities, labels, and adhesives that may still be attached to the plastic materials. Proper cleaning ensures that the recycled plastic is free from contaminants, making it suitable for reuse in manufacturing. Cleaned plastics are ready for the subsequent steps in the recycling process. Once the plastics are cleaned, they go through shredding, and advanced machinery is used for this purpose, and a process known as agglomeration is employed to break down the plastics into smaller pieces. Shredding reduces the plastics to a manageable size, making them easier to work within the recycling process. These smaller plastic pieces are subjected to extruding and pelleting, where the shredded plastic is melted and then cooled in water, forming small pellets. These pellets can be easily molded into new products, providing a sustainable and resource-efficient way to manufacture items from recycled materials. But our commitment to sustainability doesn't stop at Recycling. We believe in converting waste into value-added products. Our skilled team transforms the recycled plastic waste into a range of products, including pots and household utensils. We work in a mission to reintroduce these products into various segments of society, helping close the recycling loop. Around 25 dedicated employees are actively engaged in our sustainable journey towards plastic waste recycling. These individuals play a crucial role in various aspects of our operations, including waste collection, sorting, processing, quality control, research and development, administrative tasks, and community engagement. Their collective efforts and commitment contribute significantly to achieving our goals of environmental sustainability and responsible waste management. Through their hard work and dedication, we are able to make a positive impact on the environment while creating employment opportunities and fostering a culture of sustainability within our organization.

In our second stage of committed expansion, we have initiated a mission with the motto "Chedikal Thalirkkatte Bhoomi Thanukkatte," which involves collecting cleaned plastic waste from households and redistributing valuable goods made from 100% recycled plastics back to them. As an ISO 14001:2015 (environmental management systems) certified company, sustainability is our top priority. We are dedicated to reducing the possibility of any form of pollution during our processes. Additionally, we prioritize sustainable water management practices. Rainwater is diligently collected and stored in water tanks, as well as gathered in ponds within our premises. This collected rainwater serves various stages of our recycling process, further contributing to our commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable operations.

Vision for Scaling Up Plastic Recycling

Our current installed capacity features a 390 kW powered plant, capable of recycling 20 tons of plastics per day, with a capacity utilization rate of 85% and ongoing efforts to reach full capacity utilization of 100%. Additionally, we are in the process of upgrading both power and capacity to further enhance our operational efficiency. We are planning to upgrade our capacity to 50 tons per day. We aim to establish Hamara Plastics as the industry benchmark, recognized for innovation, environmental stewardship, and economic impact. Key elements include innovative technology adoption, capacity expansion, education, advocacy, global reach, and community empowerment. We aim to solidify our position in the plastic recycling industry by expanding our market reach through strategic partnerships and collaborations with municipalities, government bodies, NGOs, industry partners, international entities, research institutions, innovators, technology providers, and cross-industry collaborations.

state-of-the-art sorting machines, automatic washing machines, and Effluent Treatment Plants

At the core of our operations are integrated technologies, including state-of-the-art sorting machines, automatic washing machines, and Effluent Treatment Plants (ETP). Furthermore, our dedication to innovation propels us to continuously enrich our technological toolkit with the latest breakthroughs in the recycling sector. These include pioneering initiatives such as waste-to-energy conversion and the integration of augmented reality applications, aimed at revolutionizing plastic recycling processes while upholding principles of sustainability and the circular economy. We are also trying to explore alternative energy sources such as solar power to further reduce our environmental footprint.
