Mr. Ajay Durrani, Managing Director, Covestro India, said, “India is on the cusp of transformation that is driven by the concerted push from government to make itan innovative and energy efficient nation. Currently, the per capita consumption of plastics in India is low in comparison with the global average. The sector has huge unrealized potential, going by the present very low levels of consumption in the country. We believe that in the coming five years, plastics would play a critical role in the growth story of the country. The industry has grown at a healthy rate over the last five years and is expected to grow at a rate of 15% per annum in next few years. This phase of growth will not just witness increase in the per capita consumption of plastics but many of the social problems of the country such as sanitation, food safety, energy efficiency and carbon footprints mitigation would be solved using talented materials.”
Adding to this, Mr. Anand Srinivasan, Head – Polycarbonates, Indian Sub Continent, Covestro India said, “Plastic today has become a ubiquitous part of our lives. From automotive to electronic to even aviation and healthcare, plastic has been playing a key role in making products efficient, innovative and attractive. With the changing market dynamics, personalization, design freedom, and energy efficiency have emerged as the new currency for innovations. Such innovations driven by Covestro’s materials are helping the industry to find answers to some of the biggest challenges facing our world, and develop solutions that benefit both society and the environment. At Plastivision 2017 trade fair, we continue with our endeavour to help various industries embrace material driven innovation and aid OEMs, both in design and functionality, to contribute to a better tomorrow.”
