Stage 01 · Valvettithurai, Jaffna District
Valvettithurai Plastics
3–5 TPD
Target capacity
Proposed proof-of-concept capacity
Waste plastics
Material
Output: Plastic pellets
PROPOSED
Development stage
01The opportunity
Recovered plastic in the district is aggregated informally and sold without consistent grading, so value leaves Jaffna and quality stays unpredictable for manufacturers.
02The solution
Pragmatix is developing a recovery line with sorting, size reduction, washing and pelletising, designed around collection pathways upstream and productive uses downstream.
03How material moves
Collection
Proposed routes through businesses and aggregation points in Jaffna District.
Facility
Intake, weighing and grade separation.
Processing
Sorting, shredding, washing and pelletising.
Output
Consistent, graded plastic pellets.
Offtake
Domestic manufacturers and export buyers.
