Masstrans Technologiies has come up with upcycled, weather proof, maintenance free, sustainable, bug proof, perpetual consumer durables as a solution to the alarming rate of production of plastic that is choking nature. Masstrans Technologiies has been producing compound fences, tree guards, bollards, industrial pallets, student benches, teachers’ chairs, garden benches by upcycling or in other words creative re-use of waste materials. The organization transforms by-products, waste materials, useless, or unwanted products into new materials or products of greater quality, artistic as well as environmental value. The organization works on the principal of circular economy where waste is recycled into new products. The furniture produced by MassTrans are made from 100% recycled plastic which diverts plastic waste that would have been destined for a landfill or ocean.
Plastic production has alarmingly increased from 2.3 million tons in 1950 to 448 million tons by 2015. It is being predicted that production of plastic would double by 2050. Single-use plastics account for 40 percent of the plastic produced every year. They often contain additives making them stronger, more flexible, and durable. But many of these additives can extend the life of products if they become litter, with some estimates ranging to at least 400 years to break down. 40% of today’s global plastic waste end up in environment. More than 800 species of marine life is already known to be affected by the marine plastic pollution and it has a bad impact on human health as well. Looking at the grave situation solution-based approach taken by organizations like Masstrans Technologiies (www.masstrans.in) is a boon.
