The new training centre is being established at AMTEC in Mumbai by the end of May 2026. It aims to help meeting the growing demand for qualified professionals – in particular operators and supervisor – in India’s plastic recycling sector over the long term. At the core of the program is a 72-hour training course that combines theoretical foundation with practical, hands-on instruction. To support the training operations, EREMA is providing an INTAREMA® 605 TE recycling machine with a capacity of 50–100 kg/h free of charge, enabling participants to learn under real industrial conditions.
Joint initiative strengthens skills and technological expertise
“We are pleased to be part of this initiative, which sends a strong signal for the further development of plastic recycling in India. Close and trusting collaboration between India and Europe is essential for a sustainable shared future,” emphasised Markus Huber-Lindinger, Managing Director at EREMA, during the signing ceremony. “High-end technology unfolds its full potential when operated by well-trained professionals. With this centre, we are making an important contribution to providing tomorrow’s specialists with an optimal foundation for their professional careers.”
Arvind Mehta, Chairman of AIPMA’s AMTEC & AIPMA Governing Council, also highlighted the importance of the partnership: “With this new training centre, we are closing the previously existing gap between theoretical and practice‑oriented education. Working together with EREMA enables us to teach students, operators and supervisors directly on industrial equipment and thus develop a new quality of skilled professionals for India’s recycling industry.”
