PRS India Mumbai 2025 continued to assert its place as one of the most influential platforms in the country’s recycling and circular economy landscape. The event has become a magnet for manufacturers, recyclers, technology innovators, and solution providers, creating a collaborative environment for addressing India’s fast-evolving plastic sustainability sector. This edition brought together a dynamic mix of companies pushing boundaries in materials, sorting systems, and advanced recycling equipment. Among them, Vishal Plastics, TOMRA Recycling, and STEINERT GmbH emerged as three noteworthy exhibitors contributing significantly to industry dialogue and innovation.
Vishal Plastics: Building Stronger Supply Chains for ABS, HIPS & EPS
Representing Vishal Plastics, Vipul Agrahari highlighted the company’s commitment to quality and reliability in the plastics raw material market. With more than 20 years of experience, the company has built strong roots in the supply of ABS, HIPS, and EPS, serving manufacturers that require consistent and dependable materials.
Vipul emphasized a persistent challenge in the industry — the shortage of trustworthy and high-quality suppliers. This has encouraged Vishal Plastics to expand its network and identify partners capable of maintaining supply consistency. The company aims to fill the gap by connecting with both suppliers and clients who share the same expectations for quality.
Operating from Vasai–Virar, Vishal Plastics has carved a niche in delivering quality products backed by long-term market understanding. Their presence at PRS India Mumbai 2025 reflects their ambition to widen their reach and engage with businesses looking for stability and genuine reliability in raw material sourcing.
TOMRA Recycling: Driving the Future of AI-Backed Sorting Technologies in India
TOMRA Recycling, a global leader in optical sorting systems, used PRS India Mumbai 2025 as a platform to showcase its advancements in automated waste-sorting technologies. Representing the company, Abhishek highlighted TOMRA’s robust presence in the Indian market for over two decades, especially within PET recycling, material recovery facilities, and other advanced waste-processing applications.
TOMRA’s technology has played a critical role in improving sorting precision for recyclers in India. With waste composition becoming increasingly complex, the need for adaptive and intelligent machinery has grown significantly. Abhishek explained that TOMRA’s patented technologies are designed to evolve with new impurity trends, allowing recyclers to maintain product quality even as contamination levels shift.
One of the most notable developments presented at PRS India was TOMRA’s adoption of deep-learning-based AI sorting, which allows machines to differentiate between food-grade and non-food-grade PET with enhanced precision. This advancement is particularly relevant as India aims to meet international recycling quality benchmarks. The company’s demonstration reaffirmed that automated sorting will become a cornerstone of India’s recycling infrastructure in the coming years.
STEINERT GmbH: Precision Sorting Solutions for a Growing PET & Waste Market
Another key exhibitor at PRS India Mumbai 2025 was STEINERT GmbH, renowned globally for its magnetic and sensor-based sorting systems. Represented by Björn Lävenich, STEINERT emphasized its long-term commitment to strengthening its footprint in India — a country projected to become one of the world’s largest recycling markets.
As a family-owned German company, STEINERT has spent decades engineering high-performance machines capable of handling complex waste streams. Their equipment is widely used internationally for PET bottle sorting, flake purification, and metal recovery, making them a preferred partner for recyclers aiming to increase purity levels and operational efficiency.
Björn noted that India’s rising PET consumption presents an enormous opportunity for advanced sorting technologies. With Himanshu leading the India sales division, the company is actively positioning itself to support recyclers seeking to modernize their processes. Their commitment to India signals the beginning of a stronger, more technology-driven approach to waste management in the region.
