GEM Enviro Fights For A Greener & Safer Environment
Plastic materials provide many conveniences in our daily lives and directly or indirectly employ about 10 million people. Agriculture, textiles, pharmaceuticals, automotive, infrastructure, and electronics are just a few of the industries that employ plastics. Unfortunately, unsustainable plastic consumption has caused several problems, causing scientific garbage collection and recycling management. Many businesses and entrepreneurs stepped up to help Local Bodies fight this enormous struggle.
Mr. Sachin Sharma and his associates found GEM Enviro Management to help with the recycling of many packaging trash. The company was founded in 2013 and began working on plastic garbage collecting and recycling in India, as well as providing end-to-end waste management solutions to clients.
GEM Enviro Management Pvt. Ltd. is a Delhi-based ‘Waste Management Agency (WMA).’ It is successfully running under Mr. Sachin Sharma’s supervision and leadership. The company offers WMA/PRO, which simplifies the collection chain of much plastic waste, such as PET, H.D.P.E., L.D.P.E., P.P., and other types of plastic waste, for recycling, as well as the marketing/promotion/selling of recycled items created from plastic wastes. It ensures a healthier and greener environment for current and future generations. Ganesha Ecosphere Limited, India’s largest PET recycling company with a turnover of USD 100 million in PET waste recycling, marketing, and branding of recovered yarn, backs GEM Enviro.
They organise and take part in various awareness programmes in schools, universities, offices, residential groups housing societies, rag-pickers colonies, and other locations with the purpose of raising public awareness about trash sustainability and recycling. GEM Enviro, as a recycler, is even designing Reverse Vending Machines and Hand Pressed Reverse Vending Machines in-house, which are currently installed in over 25 places around the country. They are active members of PACE, an industry organisation that brings together producers and manufacturers of plastic packaging (PET Packaging Association for Clean Environment).
Mr. Sachin estimates that, on average, each home disposes of roughly 20 bottles every month in an interview with Your Story. A community of 500 flats will produce 10,000 bottles together. Customers can earn rewards such as freebies and other incentives by using reverse vending machines.
The selling of packaging scrap to recyclers and the sale of recycled items to corporate organisations are the two primary sources of revenue for GEM. The site has partnered with Ganesh Ecosphere to sell PET waste and get a percentage of the profit. Ganesh Ecosphere produces fiber[N1] from PET trash, which GEM purchases and uses to make T-shirts, hats, and bags. The prices of the items range from Rs 250 to Rs 700.
“The Indian recycle business employs up to 10 million people, directly or indirectly,” said Sachin Sharma, Director of GEM Recycling, one of India’s major PET recycling enterprises. Because plastic, particularly PET bottles, has a high recycling price, it is one of the best methods for a variety of people involved in the business, from rag pickers to recyclers, to earn money. We must address the fundamental issues that are affecting the environment, such as our irresponsible behaviour manifested in littering and an ineffective waste management system, as a group. We believe that a Reverse Vending Machine (RVM) is the best method for collecting post-consumer PET bottles for responsible recycling. With the aid of the government and citizens, we can create the correct system with a comprehensive approach and efforts from everyone in the value chain.
