India creates around 62Mt of waste each year. 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 are intended to raise the population’s awareness 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 can be fed back into the circular economy. 

“By founding Lindner Recyclingtech Bharat, we want to contribute to returning greater quantities of reusable materials back into the loop or the circular economy. This needs the right shredders and system solutions as well as the relevant expertise. Together with Chirag Verma and Ganesh Karankal, who are both experienced and respected businessmen, we wish to promote the expansion of sustainable recycling solutions in the Indian market and contribute our expertise,” says Manual Lindner, CEO and owner of Lindner Recyclingtech.

Lindner Recyclingtech is considered a pioneer in the recycling industry with sites and subsidiaries located in Germany, USA, Singapore and France. Lindner, with its mobile, semi mobile and stationary shredders, also provides turnkey solutions for the processing of refuse derived fuels (RDF) and plastics recycling. “Lindner has been manufacturing RDF successfully for many years. With Lindner Washtech we also have a wealth of experience in plastics recycling, which will continue to grow thanks to the cooperation with Erema, the branch leader in extrusion,” asserts Ganesh Karankal, sales director of Plastics Recycling. “Lindner is synonymous with quality and expertise, characteristics that our Indian customers know and appreciate.”

Chirag Verma, co-owner of Lindner Bharat, is also enthusiastic about the partnership. “India is a densely populated country with huge volumes of waste. According to estimates, the mountain of rubbish will rise to more than 400Mt by 2050. There is a lot to do in the area of recycling. Together with Lindner, we want to support the efforts of the waste and recycling economy in India and are looking forward to this challenge.”
