About

Maize-Based Biodegradable Carry Bag Manufacturing Project

Presented by Srinivasa Enterprises – India 🇮🇳

Srinivasa Enterprises proposes the establishment of a modern biodegradable carry bag manufacturing unit using maize (corn starch) as the primary raw material. The project is designed to manufacture eco-friendly, compostable, and pollution-free carry bags that can replace conventional plastic bags in domestic and international markets.

With increasing global environmental regulations, plastic bans, and rising demand for sustainable packaging solutions, the biodegradable packaging industry is becoming one of the fastest-growing manufacturing sectors worldwide. Governments, supermarkets, food delivery companies, and retail chains are actively shifting toward compostable packaging products, creating strong long-term market demand.

The proposed unit will manufacture:

• Compostable carry bags

• Shopping bags

• Grocery bags

• Garbage bags

• Courier packaging covers

• Custom printed eco-friendly bags

The manufacturing process uses maize starch, PLA, PBAT, and biodegradable compounds that naturally decompose within 90–180 days without polluting the environment.

The project is strategically planned in Visakhapatnam due to its strong export connectivity, industrial infrastructure, seaport access, and availability of agricultural raw materials. India offers significant advantages in terms of low-cost manufacturing, skilled labor, raw material availability, and government support for green industries.

The production process includes:

1. Raw material procurement

2. Compound mixing

3. Film extrusion

4. Bag cutting & sealing

5. Printing & customization

6. Quality inspection

7. Packaging & dispatch

The project will initially operate with semi-automatic machinery and later scale to fully automated production depending on market expansion and export demand.

Total Estimated Investment:

₹1.5 Crore Approx

The unit is expected to produce approximately 50 tons per month with an average selling price of ₹220 per kg depending on product specifications and export quality standards.

Estimated Financial Performance

• Monthly Revenue: ₹1.1 Crore Approx

• Monthly Expenses: ₹69 Lakhs Approx

• Estimated Net Profit: ₹35–40 Lakhs Per Month

The project demonstrates strong profitability and scalable growth potential. With increasing international demand, the company aims to expand exports to:

• United Arab Emirates

• United States

• Germany

• United Kingdom

• Canada

• Australia

The biodegradable packaging sector provides strong long-term opportunities because many countries are implementing strict bans on single-use plastics. Eco-friendly packaging products are increasingly preferred by consumers and businesses due to sustainability goals and ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) policies.

To meet international export standards, the company plans to obtain:

• ISO Certification

• Compostable Certification

• ASTM D6400

• EN 13432 European Standard

• SGS Quality Testing

These certifications will improve export acceptance, product credibility, and investor confidence.

The marketing strategy will focus on both domestic and export markets through:

• International B2B platforms

• Distributor partnerships

• Supermarket supply chains

• Digital marketing

• Export buyer networking

• Trade exhibitions

Key international marketing platforms include:

• Alibaba

• IndiaMART

• TradeIndia

Srinivasa Enterprises is seeking strategic foreign investors, joint venture partners, and international distribution partners to support:

• Manufacturing expansion

• Export market development

• Technology support

• International branding

• Large-scale production growth
