Abstract

Drawing on secondary data from industry reports, government publications, and stakeholder insights, the paper identifies and analyses key business models such as organized collection and aggregation systems, decentralized recycling enterprises, producer-led take-back mechanisms, public–private partnerships, and value-added applications of recycled plastics in manufacturing and infrastructure. The findings indicate that supportive state-level initiatives, investor incentives, and the availability of skilled labour are positioning West Bengal as an emerging hub for plastics recycling and sustainable manufacturing.
