Best Plastic Scrap Prices in India | Operation SHUDDHI
If you generate plastic, packaging or industrial scrap — whether you run a factory, a warehouse, a housing society, a shop, or a scrap-collection business — the single question that decides your return is simple: who pays the best price for your scrap in India?
At Operation SHUDDHI®, we buy plastic and packaging scrap directly as a recycler — not as a middleman. That means the margin that usually disappears through three or four layers of traders stays with you, the person who actually collected the material. Below is our latest published rate list (indicative rates as on 6 July 2026), the reasoning behind why these are among the best scrap prices in India, and exactly how to sell your material to us.

Why Operation SHUDDHI pays the best price in India
A “best price” claim only means something if you understand where the money comes from. Here is why our rates hold up:
1. We are the recycler, not the middleman
In the typical scrap chain, material passes from the generator to a local kabadiwala, then to an aggregator, then to a stockist, and only then to a processor. Every hop takes a cut. Because Operation SHUDDHI processes plastic itself, we can pay you close to the recycler-gate value instead of the bottom-of-the-chain rate. Fewer hands, more money in yours.
2. Transparent weighing, honest deductions
Under-weighing and inflated “contamination” deductions are the most common way scrap sellers lose money. We weigh on calibrated machines, show you the reading, and keep deductions reasonable and explained. That is also why we offer partners their own weighing machine — trust is built on numbers both sides can see.
3. Free collection across Delhi NCR
For businesses and bulk generators in Delhi NCR, collection is free — we come to you. No transport cost eating into your rate. Outside NCR, our Collection Centre Partner model lets entrepreneurs and scrap dealers plug into the same supply chain and pricing.
4. Volume and consistency
Because Operation SHUDDHI aggregates plastic waste at scale across societies, institutions, hospitals and industries, we can offer stable, competitive rates month after month rather than one good day and a dozen bad ones.
Understanding the material categories
Not all plastic scrap is equal, and knowing your material helps you earn more.
High-value bags and films (₹20–₹30/kg): Rice bags, PP films, leno bags and jumbo (FIBC) bags are clean, high-grade woven polypropylene and film — the closest to recycler-ready feedstock, so they command the top rates.
Rigid PP and PET (₹15–₹20/kg): PET bottles, HDPE waste, PP crates, PP glasses, PP caps and PP grinding are workhorse rigid plastics with strong, stable recycling demand. Bottle-to-bottle and bottle-to-fibre recycling keeps PET valuable.
Industrial and electronic plastic (₹15–₹20/kg): Automobile-industry PP scrap, electronic plastic scrap and food-grade plastic have specific downstream uses and reliable pricing when segregated.
Low-grade multilayer and laminated bags (₹5/kg): Chips packets, cement bags, salt/sugar bags, talc bags, putty bags and mixed raffia are multilayer or heavily contaminated materials that are harder to recycle — but Operation SHUDDHI still buys them, keeping them out of landfills and drains instead of leaving them worthless.
Metals (₹30/kg): Waste aluminium and aluminium cans fetch premium rates and are infinitely recyclable.
The takeaway: segregate at source. A mixed heap earns the ₹15 “mixed plastic” rate; the same material sorted into rice bags, PP films and PET earns ₹20–₹30. Sorting is the fastest raise you can give yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are these really the best plastic scrap prices in India? These are among the most competitive gate rates available because Operation SHUDDHI buys directly as a processor, removing the middleman layers that normally shrink your return. For your specific material and volume, call 9810039125 for a confirmed quote — larger and cleaner lots can earn even better.
2. Do you offer free scrap collection? Yes. Collection is free across Delhi NCR for businesses and bulk generators. Outside NCR, you can join as a Collection Centre Partner to access the same network and pricing.
3. What is the minimum quantity to sell? There is no rigid minimum, but regular and bulk quantities receive priority pickup and the strongest rates. Households and small shops are welcome to accumulate and book a pickup.
4. Why do rates differ so much between materials? Price follows recyclability and demand. Clean woven bags, films, PET, HDPE and aluminium are close to ready feedstock (₹20–₹30/kg), while multilayer laminated bags like chips packets and cement bags are hard to recycle (₹5/kg). Segregating your scrap by type is the simplest way to earn more.
5. Can I set up my own collection centre? Absolutely. Operation SHUDDHI supplies weighing machines (₹10,000) and baling machines on request, and Operation SHUDDHI supports partners with the supply chain and pricing to run a profitable, purpose-driven scrap business.
6. Do you buy scrap from outside Delhi NCR? Yes. Free doorstep pickup is offered across Delhi NCR, and for the rest of India you can join through our Collection Centre Partner network — sell into the same supply chain and access the same competitive rates. Bulk generators outside NCR can also call 9810039125 to arrange a dispatch.
7. How and when do I get paid for my scrap? Payment is settled promptly at the time of pickup or delivery, right after transparent weighing that you can see. Cash, UPI and bank transfer options can be arranged — call us to confirm the mode that suits you best.
8. Does the scrap need to be clean and dry before selling? Clean, dry and segregated material earns the top rate because it is closest to recycler-ready feedstock. We still accept material with some moisture or contamination, but expect a fair deduction. A quick sort and dry is the easiest way to maximise your payout.
9. Do you provide dustbins or collection bins? Yes. Societies, institutions, offices and businesses in Delhi NCR can request Operation SHUDDHI collection dustbins through our Request Free Pickup form, making it easy to segregate and store recyclable plastic until pickup.
10. Are the rates negotiable for large or regular quantities? The published list is the indicative gate rate. Larger, cleaner and regular volumes have stronger value and can earn better — call 9810039125 with your material type and approximate quantity for a confirmed quote tailored to your supply.
11. Besides plastic, do you buy metal or other scrap? Yes. Along with the full range of plastic scrap, we buy waste aluminium and aluminium cans at ₹30/kg. For any material not listed here, contact us at team@opshuddhi.org or 9810039125 and we will guide you on acceptance and rate.
