Earlier the paper waste was being dumped or sold. Now the paper recycle unit significantly caters the paper stationery needs of AAI offices situated across the country.

Paper is such a commodity closely related to usage in our daily lives and the use of paper in our day-to-day life remains indispensable. AAI optimized efforts on research and development and came up with this concept of reuse of paper in a substantial manner, which could be an inspiration for other corporate to adopt. The initiative is embedded with considerable eco-friendly features to produce special papers and products for technical / commercial applications. The technology also offers to redesign the system of value addition of recycling and advancing manufacturing techniques.

The paper recycling unit project works on the grounds of viable waste-to-energy systems. Key features of the paper recycling unit are: energy conservation, conversion of waste into wealth by re-crafting /recycling, pollution free and eco-friendly finished products (the recycled paper are chlorine free, no de-inking, no colour, efficient to be reused) and countless personalized varieties for corporate stationary.

AAI is committed to continue in spreading the message on how we could take a closer look at use of recycle papers in our daily lives and bring responsible and enduring changes on environment.
