Our Core Commitment to Sustainability
As the first university in India dedicated to Plastics and Sustainability, Plastindia International University (PIU) recognizes the critical role polymers play in our world. We are committed to a sustainable future by:
Integrating
sustainability
throughout
our curriculum
PIU’s academic programs weave sustainability principles into every aspect of polymer science and technology. You’ll gain a deep understanding of the life cycle of plastics, from design and production to responsible use, recycling, and end-of-life solutions.
Guiding
research
towards
sustainability
Our faculties research domains include bioplastics, biodegradable materials, recycling technologies, and lifecycle analysis. We ensure that our faculty workforce is able to contribute to innovations that address global sustainability challenges.
Promoting eco-conscious
practices
PIU fosters a culture of environmental responsibility on campus. We implement sustainable practices in our operations, from energy efficiency to waste reduction, and integrate these principles into our teaching and research activities.
Academic Initiatives
Sustainability-focused courses: PIU offers a comprehensive curriculum that equips students with the knowledge andskills to develop and implement sustainable polymeric solutions.
PIUs future plans include the School of Sustainability (SoS) that will cater in total to the circularity and sustainability challenges in order to prepare the next generation for the future of polymers and plastics.
- Sustainable polymer design and synthesis
- Biodegradable polymers and bioplastics
- Life cycle assessment of plastics
- Plastic waste management and recycling technologies
- Sustainable polymer applications in various sectors (automotive, packaging, etc.)
