"India is one of the most dynamic markets for plastics recycling worldwide. With EREMA India, we are creating the framework to support our customers even more precisely. The close interaction between local presence and combined system expertise is the key to accompanying the Indian market in its rapid development," said Manfred Hackl, CEO of the EREMA Group, at the inauguration ceremony in New Delhi.

EREMA India is a member of the EREMA Group and consolidates EREMA’s extrusion and Lindner Washtech’s washing technologies under one roof.

"By combining our long-standing market experience with EREMA’s and Lindner Washtech’s vision, we are strengthening our presence in this rapidly growing market. I look forward to working together to create sustainable value for India’s recycling industry,” said Deepak Mehta, newly appointed Managing Director and Partner of EREMA India.

The new subsidiary operates at two locations. The site in Vadodara, Gujarat, is home to a sales office and Customer Center, where customers can conduct trials and material tests under realistic conditions. A ReadyMac HD recycling machine with EREMA Laserfilter, as well as laboratory equipment for quick material checks, will be available for customer trials in the near future. In Mumbai, there is an additional sales and service office ensuring customer proximity and support in western and southern India.

European expertise in integrated washing and extrusion technology

EREMA India provides Indian recyclers with access to European technology for washing, extrusion, and thermal decontamination. EREMA and Lindner Washtech have joined forces to deliver fully coordinated process chains that consistently produce high-quality results at high throughput rates. This allows recycling companies to reliably meet increasing quality requirements, including international food contact standards.

“Lindner’s washing equipment plays a crucial role in ensuring a stable and reliable treatment process, which together with EREMA’s extrusion technology, provides recyclers with integrated system expertise enabling them to consistently produce food-grade quality, increase production efficiency and achieve long-term operational excellence," said Ganesh Karankal, Sales Director and Partner of Business Unit Washing at EREMA India.

"In the bottle-to-bottle sector, our PET recycling technologies are already in successful operation with several Indian customers, giving them an edge with the best color values and polymer properties," added Maharshi Mehta, Sales Director of Business Unit Extrusion at EREMA India.

For polyolefins such as HDPE, LDPE and PP, the integrated recycling solutions create a process chain capable of handling even complex post-consumer waste streams. "Following the washing and separating stages, the INTAREMA extrusion system in combination with the ReFresher module reliably removes odors, ensuring the highest quality of recycled output," Mehta explained.

With ReadyMac and ReadyWash, EREMA India also offers a fast delivery system in a standardized design for customers seeking proven, high quality and efficient recycling technology.
