In Alawalpur, Patna, a small enterprise converts thermocol waste into granules, producing 40‑50 tonnes a month and earning about ₹1.75 million, employing 12 workers.
A modest unit located in Alawalpur, on the outskirts of Patna, has set up a process to turn discarded thermocol into usable granules. The operation runs continuously to produce between 40 and 50 tonnes of the material each month.
The venture reports a monthly turnover of roughly ₹1.75 million, a figure that reflects both the demand for recycled thermocol and the efficiency of the small‑scale setup. Twelve local workers are on the payroll, gaining regular income from the activity.
Products from the plant have begun reaching markets in neighboring states, expanding the business beyond Bihar and demonstrating the commercial viability of waste‑to‑resource models.
Officials and industry observers note that such initiatives could help address the growing plastic waste problem while generating livelihood opportunities in rural areas.
