PIU - The First Indian University Dedicated to
Plastic & Sustainability
Plastindia International University (PIU) isIndia's pioneering institution at the intersection of innovation, sustainability, and academic excellence. Nurtured under the esteemed PlastiIndia Foundation, PIU is a testament to the vision of creating leaders in the plastics and circularity sustainability domains.
As the first university in India dedicated to Plastics and Circularity Sustainability, PIU stands as a beacon for specialized education in technology and management. Our mission is to cultivate well-trained, culturally sensitive professionals who are not only equipped with technical expertise but are also poised to lead sustainable initiatives in the dynamic plastics and related industries.
At PIU, we go beyond conventional education by offering specialized courses that align with the evolving needs of the industry. Our commitment extends to providing continuing education programs, ensuring that professionals already working in the field can stay abreast of the latest advancements and trends.
In a transformative move towards global collaboration, PIU has forged a technical partnership with the University of Massachusetts Lowell (UML), USA. This partnership is geared towards building a top-tier institution for polymer plastics technology and processing within India, providing our students with unparalleled exposure to global best practices and cutting-edge research.
As the plastics industry emerges as one of the fastest-growing sectors in India, PIU recognizes the need for clear, long-term goals and actionable plans. Our programs are designed to meet the demands of this dynamic industry, preparing our students to contribute significantly to the explosive growth expected in the next two decades.
The Evolution of Plastindia
International University
Plastindia Foundation (PIF) has been the apex body of major Associations connected with plastics in India since 1987.
PIF is committed to evolving as an internationally recognised organisation devoted to promoting excellence in the field of plastics and making India a preferred sourcing base for plastics products for the world. It recognised the lack of availability of techno-managerial manpower in plastics and allied industries. The Foundation decided to set up Plastindia International University to address the challenge of demand for Technical Experts, Managers, and Skilled Manpower for the Growth of the Plastics Industry.
