The ?biocrux? machine was installed at the Elephanta Caves to recycle plastic waste generated every day keeping in mind the large number of tourists visiting the site.
Tourists throw plastic bottles into the machine which then turns them into plastic pellets. These are collected by the company, Biocrux India Pvt Ltd, which installed the machine free of cost, as per an arrangement with the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC).
?The machine was sponsored by Bharat Flooring and Tiles and Biocrux manages the plastic waste. The bottle scrap is converted to resin which is used to make FRP products, such as security cabin, dustbin, putty etc,? said Valsa Nair Singh, Principal Secretary, Tourism and Culture.
