In spite of taking multiple steps to address the plastic waste problem, residents and civic authorities know for sure that there is still a long way to go. Over 20 to 25 percent (over 80 tonnes) of the total municipal solid waste generated in Mysuru comprises plastic and the volume is growing by the day.
Though the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) and the District Administration have issued a blanket ban on the manufacturing, storing and distribution of single-use plastics such as carry bags, flex banners, plates, etc., the menace has not been curtailed and has now grown into a gargantuan problem.
To solve the problem permanently, a city-based firm has found an innovative solution to use plastic waste to make interlock tiles or pavers that are stronger than cement. Moreover, these pavers are affordable, have longevity and are environment friendly.
Jagruth Tech has come up with an innovative, eco-friendly, scientific, feasible solution for upcycling low-value plastic waste and converting them into less carbon footprint products like construction materials (interlock pavers) and plywood alternative sheets.
The firm is the authorised single-use plastic waste recycler and collector approved by the MCC that is carrying out the recycling process at the Solid Waste Management Unit (Excel Plant) at Sewage Farm premises in Vidyaranyapuram.
Low-Value Plastic
All the plastic manufactured can be recycled. But Low-Value Plastic (LVP) or single-use plastic or non-recyclable plastic waste are meant to be used only once. These are also referred to as disposable plastic. Single-use plastics include Multi-Layered Plastic (MLP), grocery bags, food packaging, straws, containers, cups and cutlery.
Even rag pickers do not show interest to pick these plastics and there is no practice or technology to recycle these, and they are invariably dumped in landfills or burnt. These result in many diseases as they release noxious gases.
“Proper and formal recycling is the ultimate solution for this critical problem. Continuous thinking and working on the same made us invent =”https://www.recyclean.in/eco-pro-pavers-paver-blocks-interlocking-paver-blocks-product-detail-1391.html” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>interlock pavers from single-use waste plastics. The finished products have advantages like end-of-life disposal of LVPs, they are fully recyclable, they reduce fossil fuel, carbon footprint and prevent plastic pollution,” Dinesh Bopanna, one of the Directors of =”https://www.recyclean.in/jagruth-tech-private-limited-company-profile-12824-recyclean.html” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Jagruth Tech, told =”https://starofmysore.com/waste-to-wealth-plastic-paves-way-for-paver-blocks/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Star of Mysore.
These interlocks can bear loads up to 60 tonnes and are more durable than cement bricks. They can resist temperatures up to 60 degrees Celsius. Also, they are fully recyclable and can be reused many times.
Prevents harmful emissions
In fact, one interlock tile prevents 2.5 kgs of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions from entering the atmosphere. Even the plywood alternative sheets manufactured by the firm using single-use plastic are eco-friendly and are much stronger than plywood, he added.
“=”https://www.recyclean.in/eco-pro-sheets-plywood-alternative-water-proof-and-termite-proof-sheets-product-detail-1392.html” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Eco Pro sheets are a creative transformation of the waste plastics obtained from MLPs and single-use plastics into a better replacement for plywood. It is a redefined product that is eco-friendly, fire and water-resistant, durable for lifetime, rust and termite-free,” Dinesh explained.
Dinesh said that his company also provides end of life to products as per the requirements of the Central Pollution Control Board and the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board.
As for the process of converting the plastic to interlock pavement and plywood-alternative sheets, he said that once they receive used plastic waste from vendors and from other sources, the plastic is shredded and mixed with fillers and then compressed to make tiles with a hydraulic machine at the production unit in Vidyaranyapuram.
Jagruth Tech has three Directors — K. Dasharath, C. Darshan and Dinesh Bopanna. Very recently, they demonstrated their technology and processes at the two-day training-cum-conference of Commissioners from various City Corporations on Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban 2.0 held in Mysuru. Impressed with the demonstration, the Commissioners visited the Jagruth plant to see the processes of wealth from waste.

Blue sant trick for men
The essence of existence is like smoke, always shifting, always changing, yet somehow always present. It moves with the wind of thought, expanding and contracting, never quite settling but never truly disappearing. Perhaps to exist is simply to flow, to let oneself be carried by the great current of being without resistance.

Virtue, they say, lies in the middle, but who among us can truly say where the middle is? Is it a fixed point, or does it shift with time, perception, and context? Perhaps the middle is not a place but a way of moving, a constant balancing act between excess and deficiency. Maybe to be virtuous is not to reach the middle but to dance around it with grace.

The cosmos is said to be an ordered place, ruled by laws and principles, yet within that order exists chaos, unpredictability, and the unexpected. Perhaps true balance is not about eliminating chaos but embracing it, learning to see the beauty in disorder, the harmony within the unpredictable. Maybe to truly understand the universe, we must stop trying to control it and simply become one with its rhythm.

Even the gods, if they exist, must laugh from time to time. Perhaps what we call tragedy is merely comedy from a higher perspective, a joke we are too caught up in to understand. Maybe the wisest among us are not the ones who take life the most seriously, but those who can laugh at its absurdity and find joy even in the darkest moments.

The potential within all things is a mystery that fascinates me endlessly. A tiny seed already contains within it the entire blueprint of a towering tree, waiting for the right moment to emerge. Does the seed know what it will become? Do we? Or are we all simply waiting for the right conditions to awaken into what we have always been destined to be?

If everything in this universe has a cause, then surely the cause of my hunger must be the divine order of things aligning to guide me toward the ultimate pleasure of a well-timed meal. Could it be that desire itself is a cosmic signal, a way for nature to communicate with us, pushing us toward the fulfillment of our potential? Perhaps the true philosopher is not the one who ignores his desires, but the one who understands their deeper meaning.

Man is said to seek happiness above all else, but what if true happiness comes only when we stop searching for it? It is like trying to catch the wind with our hands—the harder we try, the more it slips through our fingers. Perhaps happiness is not a destination but a state of allowing, of surrendering to the present and realizing that we already have everything we need.
