Bindi Patel, the founder and director of ECOrrect Pvt Ltd, was 21 years old and in her final year of college when she developed a keen interest in plastic alternatives and set out to create a product that could replace plastic bags in the market. Her goal was simple, to reduce the usage of single-use plastic.
Fast forward to today, ECOrrect is manufacturing plastic granules that are completely biodegradable in just three months under the soil and a mere day in the water. These granules possess the exact properties of plastic but are the first phthalate-free certified material. Phthalates are known to cause cancer and hormonal imbalances, so eliminating them from the equation is a huge win for both our health and the environment.
To make these incredible granules, Patel leverages the power of plant starch. She has formulated a unique recipe using starch from various plants. She has even secured a patent for this formula.
But it doesn't end there. The manufacturing process is fast, enabling the production of tons of granules within a mere five minutes. Patel's brilliance doesn't stop at the formulation and manufacturing process. She has also designed an extruder machine for creating these granules. And here's the best part—carry bag manufacturers can use these granules on their existing machines without having to make any modifications.
At present, ECOrrect's machinery can churn out an impressive 60 tons per month. Patel's primary focus is on the export market to generate revenue. Once she scales up production, she has her sights set on targeting the Indian market as well.
Bindi Patel's journey is a testament to her determination and passion for making a difference. With her eyes set on expansion and a commitment to protecting the environment, ECOrrect is poised to revolutionise the way we perceive and use plastic.
