Biodegradable Plastic Manufacturing Plant in India – Corn-Based Green-Tech Setup

Establish a biodegradable plastic manufacturing plant in India using corn starch as the base material. Get end-to-end support for industrial setup, machinery procurement, and certification (CPCB, ISO 17088, EN13432). Manufacture compostable packaging films, retail bags, medical containers, and bioplastic granules for global export. This clean-tech business is ideal for eco-conscious investors and brands seeking sustainable packaging solutions.

Global Investment Opportunity in India

Business Proposal:

We are seeking foreign investors to establish a biodegradable plastic manufacturing plant in Chhattisgarh, India, using corn starch as the primary raw material. With the global ban on single-use plastics and the push for sustainable alternatives, corn starch-based biodegradable plastic is emerging as a high-demand green technology product. Land for plant setup will be provided by us, and raw materials are available locally at low cost.

Why Invest in Biodegradable Plastic?

Global plastic ban laws in place across 100+ countries
Corn starch plastic is 100% compostable and eco-friendly
Huge demand from packaging, retail, hospitality, agriculture sectors
Import substitution opportunity in India – most bio plastics are imported
High export value – used in Europe, USA, Canada, Australia
Long-term government and corporate contracts possible
Clean-tech and ESG-aligned industry – great investor appeal

What the Unit Will Produce:

Biodegradable carry bags (shopping, garbage, grocery)
Packaging films & wraps
Compostable food containers & cups
Agricultural mulch films
Bioplastic granules/pellets for industrial supply
Medical-grade eco packaging

Raw Material Required:

Corn starch (extracted from local maize)
PLA (Polylactic Acid – optional mix for strength)
Additives like glycerol, PHA (optional)
Packaging films, printing material

Production Process:

Starch Pretreatment & Drying
Mixing with additives & extrusion
Pelletizing into bio-plastic granules
Film blowing, molding & shaping
Printing & Packing of finished products

Machinery can be imported (Germany, China, Taiwan) or made in India. Fully automatic options available.

Suggested Production Capacity:

Start with 2–5 MT/day (film & bag production)
Expand to 10+ MT/day in phase 2
