TAAPMA Telangnana & Andhra Pradesh Plastics Manufacturers Association (TAAPMA) was promoted in the year 1969 with the sole idea of serving the plastics industry which was in a very nascent stage then. Shri Hanumandas Darak made pioneering efforts in the early years. It is sorting out the problems of plastic industrial units and is working as a bridge between the units and the Government. It has excellent rapport with the All India Plastics Manufacturers Association, Mumbai, Government of Telangana & Andhra Pradesh (Department of Industries, Commercial Taxes, Electricity, Pollution Control Board etc..). TAAPMA has been regularly interacting with government departments and succeeded in getting a novel method of set off of tax on raw materials (procured locally) to help not only genuine processors and also ensure that the revenue interest of the Government is safeguarded. TAAPMA regularly organizes Seminars and Workshops to update the knowledge of members and to appraise them about what is happening in the field of R&D in Plastics both in India and abroad. It is also organizing ‘Plast Meets’ regularly. These interacting sessions do help in the spread of information about technology, market, government policy, taxation etc.. TAAPMA has also played a pro-active role on environment issues and organized awareness programmes in schools to catch the young minds to adopt the bin culture. Also we have been opening a stall in All India Industrial Exhibition at Nampally Exhibition Grounds to spread the message of bin culture, to educate the general public about Do’s and Don’t’s of Plastics, and use of plastic carry bags for food application. APPMA has also taken up the most prestigious issue of providing plastics litter free clean environment at the abode of Lord Shri Venkateshwara at Tirumala Hills. We have also made arrangements by providing 300 dust bins for collection of dry and wet plastic waste and for reprocessing the same at Tirupati, thus keeping the Tirumala Hills free from pollution.
