Carton recycling can become a profitable business

With recycling materials, we are not only reducing waste but also saving resources and keeping the environment safe. But even today in our country, about 10% of the 300 million tonnes of solid waste is recycled and more than 70% goes to landfill.

Three key factors need to be addressed together to address recycling challenges.

Expansion of waste management infrastructure for collection and recycling, innovation, and best practices in recycling technology and processes, and finally investment potential.
