At first glance, Tikri Kalan doesn’t look like a plastic hub at first glance.
But as you walk through its dusty lanes, you’ll spot towering stacks of white sacks—each filled with a different type of plastic, sorted by hand and piled high. Plastic waste from across India lands here every single day.

Trucks roll in. Workers unload the plastic. Informal workers immediately get to work.

It runs efficiently in its own way. Nevertheless, But it also shows how chaotic and broken our plastic waste management system has become.

The Numbers India Doesn’t Talk About

India fails to manage most of its plastic waste.
In fact, a 2024 global study ranked India as the world’s largest emitter of unmanaged plastic waste—nearly 9.3 million tons annually, which makes up 20% of the global total.

Compare that with the Central Pollution Control Board’s (CPCB) 2020 estimate: just 3.5 million tons.

So where’s the missing plastic?

Mostly, It hides in:

• Firstly, in rural areas where no one tracks waste.
• Secondly, through burnt waste that never enters any formal system.
• Lastly, in informal recycling centers like those in Tikri Kalan.

The Fix? Empowerment Through Tech

As a solution to this gap, RACE Eco Chain LTD. steps in.

We’re not here to replace the informal sector.
Instead, We empower it—with tech, tools, and traceability.

Here’s what RACE Eco Chain LTD. does:

✅ To begin with, it tracks plastic from collection all the way to verified recycling.
✅ In addition, it logs every transaction in a secure, tamper-proof digital system.
✅ Moreover, it unites 300+ suppliers, aggregators, and over 80 verified recyclers across the chain.

Every bale of plastic, worker’s effort, kilo is accounted for.

Why It Matters Now

As a result, Untracked plastic causes long-term damage:

• It clogs oceans
• Pollutes the air through burning
• Leaches toxins into the soil
• Breaks into microplastics that enter our food

We can’t solve this with policy or awareness alone. In addition, We also need a smarter system—one that makes plastic circular, not linear.

That’s what RACE Eco Chain LTD. is building—one traceable plastic supply chain at a time.
