ICPE Stand on Maharashtra Governments Rules TICPE is not convinced that Plastics Carry Bags were
grossly responsible for the floods in Mumbai on 26th
July, 2005 as alleged. In fact, several technical committees
have submitted their reports on the above subject
and none of them has blamed plastics carry bags as mainly
responsible for the flooding of Mumbai suburbs. ICPE
continues to hold the same view though ICPE agrees with
the Government that there is a pressing need for collection
and disposal of plastic waste in a more effective and
scientific manner.
Notwithstanding ICPE’s misgivings on the premise
on which the above notification has been issued, ICPE
would like to submit a few observations on certain clauses
of the notification which are technically impracticable
and difficult to implement. These relate to the following:.......More>>

Innovations in polymer processing machinery,
moulds and peripherals continue at a great
speed. Newer concepts, newer processes,
fresh applications are show-cased at major
industry exhibitions which are as frequent as
once a year.
The progress of human race has
come through the actions taken
for meeting a need or responding
to an adversity – imminent or anticipated.
Plastics are one such man-invented
material that has become an
integral part of human life. Starting off
as a substitute, it has now become a
primary material of construction in
range of forms and structures. Basic
needs to comforts of life are all provided
by plastics. The story of evolution

Staying Fit for
Global Moulding Demands

The injection moulding machine unlike earlier
days is not just the machine tool that injects the
melt into the mould and ejects the part after
cooling. The machine should be a source of
strength for the shop floor supervisor.
Increasing demands on moulding
in terms of meeting the technical
and commercial targets is pushing
the injection moulding process to its
performance limits. There is a definite
need for getting the best output from
every machine put into use, every
granule dropped into the hopper, every
unit of power from the grid and
every man-hour that is paid by the
employer. Bettering the efficiency has
become the prerequisite of every moulding
shop manager.
There is a compelling need for detecting
the problems as when it crops
