Interview – Manohara Kumar, Toppan Speciality Films

In a freewheeling interview with Packaging South Asia’s Nilutpal Thakur at Toppan Speciality Films' Chandigarh office, the CEO & whole-time director speaks about their flagship GL-BOPP films, the packaging industry, and how the company is doing its bit to develop sustainable alternatives in packaging

Packaging South Asia met Manohara Kumar, Chief Executive Officer and Whole-Time Director, at Toppan Speciality Films’ office in the towering Nexus Elante mall, a landmark in Chandigarh’s Industrial & Business Park. The discussions ranged from the company’s transition, the launch of the GL films in India and their target markets, and the future of the packaging industry. The sustainability angle and recycling as an alternative figured prominently in our conversation, considering the interaction happened just ahead of a key meeting for a Global Plastics Treaty held in Ottawa, Canada.

GL films and its usages

Manohara – who began his journey with TSF more than 30 years ago as a trainee before steering the organization in its growth trajectory – clarified that at present, only BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene)-based GL Films are being manufactured at the India plant. We asked him if the Indian market is ready for these advanced films and even prepared to pay a premium or if it is aware of what sustainability problems these solutions can solve. Manohara answered by saying TSF is known to be a pioneer in providing futuristic products and, hence, known to create markets for sustainability solutions rather than pitching in existing market segments. “Mostly, brands and customers are informed about the solution, but we as a responsible partner will make sure that they are updated on the advantages and challenges (if any) before they start deploying these sustainable solutions.”

The GL film range, which is used in a wide variety of fields, including the food, pharmaceutical, and industrial materials sectors, is said to be a sustainable alternative to metallized and other films. The GL-SP film uses a BOPP substrate to enable mono-material packaging that caters to the increasing demand for improved recyclability.

According to Manohara, though the target solutions for GL-PET are well established globally, for GL-BOPP, the targeted solutions are under development. For GL, TSF targets sustainability solutions of the mono-material family and transparent laminates, which can be used primarily in dry-content products such as powders, biscuits, and cookies. Some of TSF’s partners are Pepsi, Unilever, Perfetti, Nestle, Marico, and ITC. Among converters, Toppan works with Uflex, Huhtamaki and Amcor among several others.

“TSF will continue to serve both the Indian and the export market as brand requirements are present in India as well as globally,” he said, adding Toppan Speciality Films and Toppan together have developed the GL-BOPP solutions and this will remain the prime focus of TSF rather than other GL ranges that Toppan produces from its global units. “The primary responsibility of TSF will be manufacturing these films. Sales and business development will be taken care of by Toppan’s exports unit and TSF (in India).”

Outside India, the Toppan Group has production bases in Japan and North America (Georgia, US). A new barrier film production unit is expected to start operation in the Czech Republic by 2024-end.

Advanced machines at heart of production

In addition, there are six vacuum metallizers, three thermal extrusion laminators, three coating lines, and one CPP line. Another CPP line along with three more metallizers is on the anvil. TSF has more than 20 slitters, including primary & secondary slitters. The company has also ventured into the production of masterbatches.

“We are gearing up to commission a new hybrid BOPP/ BOPE line in 2025. There are many other such strategic projects in the pipeline which the world will witness in the next 5-7 years,” he said, adding the company has DSIR-approved and NABL-certified R&D and quality labs. “Our team’s strength lies in our highly qualified scientists, experienced management, and skilled workforce.”

In 2022, TSF started a dedicated plastic recycling facility in Punjab’s Fatehgarh Sahib, some 40 kilometers from the Bhai Mohan Singh Nagar plant. The waste plastic recycling plant spread across two acres has a customized cleaning and processing plant with 100% wastewater recycling.

Capacity-building, cast films & differentiation

With a capacity of 80,000 tons per annum (TPA), Toppan Speciality Films, which was established in 1990 as Max Speciality Films, has an employee strength of more than 500 on its rolls with a turnover of about US$ 180 million (approximately Rs 1,500 crore) and a global footprint in 45 countries. Coming to capacity building, in the past five years, more than two dozen biaxial film lines have been installed in India, according to industry sources.

Asked if this would not commoditize the market, Manohara admitted that India has seen a considerable expansion of capacity in recent years, and the upcoming years are expected to be challenging. “While it’s natural to have concerns about potential commoditization, it’s important to consider that the market is not just expanding in size but also evolving in its requirements, opening up opportunities for differentiation based on quality, innovation, and sustainability.”

According to Manohara, the key to avoiding commoditization lies in a company’s ability to offer value beyond mere product offerings. This includes developing advanced materials that address the pressing needs of recyclability and environmental sustainability, offering smart packaging solutions that enhance consumer engagement and supply chain efficiency, and providing exceptional service that helps customers achieve their business objectives, he said.

Speaking on the advantages of cast films, Manohara explained that these can play a significant role in the Indian BOPP market due to several reasons. The first is versatility. Cast films, he said, offer a wide range of applications across various industries such as food packaging, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and industrial goods. “Their versatility makes them highly sought after in the Indian market where diverse packaging needs exist.”

BOPP-cast films provide excellent barrier properties against moisture, gases, and odor, thus extending the shelf life of packaged products. “With the increasing demand for packaged food and beverages in India, particularly with the rise of eCommerce and modern retail channels, the need for effective barrier packaging solutions is growing.”

Cast films have good printing characteristics, allowing for high-quality graphics and branding on packaging. In a competitive market such as India, where brands are constantly vying for consumer attention, attractive packaging with vibrant printing is crucial for brand visibility and differentiation, he said. These films can be produced at high speeds with relatively low production costs compared to other packaging materials, making them a cost-effective choice for manufacturers in the Indian market. “This cost-efficiency is particularly important in a price-sensitive market like India.”

With increasing awareness and regulations regarding environmental sustainability, there’s a growing demand for eco-friendly packaging solutions. “Many cast films can be recycled, and advancements in technology have led to the development of bio-based and biodegradable options, catering to the sustainability requirements of the Indian market,” he said.

Sustainability at core

Sustainability is of major concern at a time when the world is looking at eco-friendly alternatives. So how is Toppan Speciality Films addressing these concerns and meeting these goals? Manohara said as the world moves towards stricter environmental regulations and consumers demand more sustainable products, TSF is well-positioned to meet these challenges head-on.

Plastic, Manohara said, can’t be done away with because of its flexibility and durability but it can be managed well with recyclability and a circular economy. He says the company is continuously working on post-consumer recyclates and biodegradable films.

“We offer mono-material solutions that increase the value of the waste stream and support ‘ease of recyclability.’ We have a separate mechanical recycling unit. We are the first one in India to develop biodegradable films according to qualification rules laid down by the government. We are in the last stages of getting clearance. We are also ISCC-certified. Our ongoing investments in sustainability initiatives, coupled with our commitment to innovation and compliance, ensure that we remain at the forefront of the industry’s transition to an eco-friendlier future.”

Elaborating on recycling, he said TSF has always focused on mono-family recyclable structures rather than multi-layered non-recyclable structures. “Hence, we continue to deliver solutions in the same direction. We are confident that if each player in the packaging industry moves in this direction, we shall be able to deliver better value for money for our customers and brands.”

Changes in the industry

The film and packaging sector, he explained, is undergoing significant changes, driven by a surge in demand for high-quality, sustainable packaging solutions. “I see several key trends shaping our industry in the coming years propelled by sustainability and circular economy with regulatory bodies worldwide implementing stricter regulations on packaging waste, the development of biodegradable materials, and the demand for simplified packaging structures.

However, for Indian manufacturers, the coming years are going to be challenging. The anticipated expansion in BOPP capacity within the country is expected to disrupt the equilibrium of demand and supply, potentially impacting profit margins adversely. Additionally, India’s exports are likely to face short-term hurdles due to current geopolitical tensions,” Manohara explained.

Talking of TSF versus its competition, Manohara said, “Toppan Speciality Films distinguishes itself through a unique blend of innovation with sustainability, quality leadership, global recognition, product differentiation, commitment to our customers, and a strategic approach to partnerships. While we have profound respect for our competitors, who each bring their strengths to the market, we believe our approach and values set us apart.”

The insightful conversation followed a trip to the Bhai Mohan Singh Nagar factory, some 60 kms away from the Chandigarh, office, about which we will write about in a subsequent issue. Toppan is participating at drupa 2024, stand Hall 3 / B40.

Tulsa Day 3 Osage area

Today was a day out in Osage country seeing the tribal nations area and visiting the location of the film set "Killers of the Flower Moon". Initially our journey north into the region took us through several townships with native names and past many small nodding donkeys which reflect the areas oil industry. This was the background to the film released last year which documents the 1920s period of Osage history known as the Reign of Terror where native Indians were being killed to gain rights over their land and oil. We had already watched the film so Bob and Sally were taking us to Pawhuska, the location where the township of the film was based.

On our way into Pawhuska we saw a small museum signposted and decided to make a stop - what a gem! Not only did it tell of the oil in the area and of the Osage tribal chiefs and ways of t=life but for me the highlight was finding out that Pawhuska was the location for the very first Boys Scout troop in the USA. There were old documents, uniforms and some brilliant statues.

The story was that John Mitchell, who had been a chaplain to Baden Powell arrived in Pawhuska as a missionary in 1910, shortly after BP had founded scouting in UK and brought with him the ideas of scouting which he sold to both the parents and young people of the church. 19 young people enthusiastically formed a troop and scouting in USA was born. However, the Pawhuska troop didn't attend the incorporation ceremony for the Boys Scouts of America in Washington and another Troop was awarded the Charter as first. In 1956 Rev John Mitchell produced evidence of how the Pawhuska troop was organised and the BSA have now recognised Pawhuska as the first Troop.

Our next stop was lunch at The Pioneer Woman's Emporium in Pawhuska where we tried cheesy Grits and had a beef sandwich and salad, a lot less food than yesterday thankfully. Then it was a walk around the town to see the buildings used in the film then it was off to the Tallgrass Prairie Reserve.

The Prairies used to cover 14 states stretching from Canada to the south and over 142million acres of land. Now there is less than 4% of this area in only Kansas and Oklahoma. The Tallgrass Prairie reserve purchased 29,000 acres of ranch land in 1989 to recreate a functional tallgrass ecosystem using traditional methods including controlled burning and bison. Originally 300 bison were introduced and there are now 2300 or more bison and we got some lovely close up encounters.

Back in Tulsa we visited Bob and Sally's home for drinks and met Ryan and Liz, their son and his girlfriend (and Lucy the dog) and then it was out for our final meal with the family some sushi.

We have had an amazing time with Bob and Sally and its certainly set us up well for our travels.

Now its a question of trying to avoid the snow as we start to move west!

Trailblazing Black Actors Canada Lee and James Edwards By Raquel Stecher

Canada Lee and James Edwards may not be household names, but they deserve to be honored for being trailblazers. These Black actors defied stereotypes and fought for dignified roles on stage and the big screen. They refused to play servants, opting for better roles than their predecessors had been given. And, they both had significant roles in what film historian Donald Bogle calls the four “problem pictures” of 1949: Lee in LOST BOUNDARIES and Edwards in HOME OF THE BRAVE. Both men were ahead of their time yet tragically died far too soon. Let’s take a look at the lives of these two extraordinary individuals.

From a young age, Canada Lee rebelled against the concept of living a normal humdrum life. He wanted to be someone extraordinary. Lee studied violin and piano as a kid with hopes of becoming a musician. When that didn’t pan out, the restless Lee ran away from home at the tender age of 14 to become a jockey. He abandoned this career when he grew too tall for the sport. His next calling found him in the boxing ring, and by the age of 19, he was a professional fighter. He had a successful career as a lightweight and welterweight boxing champion until a blow to the head detached his retina causing him to lose vision in one eye. It was then that he found his calling at the Federal Theatre Project in Harlem during the late 1930s.

Lee proved to be an excellent actor, and with the guidance of Orson Welles, he was cast in a highly publicized all-Black production of Macbeth. He found success both on and off-Broadway in productions of Anna Lucasta, South Pacific and The Tempest. His breakout performance in Native Son put Lee on the map and Hollywood soon came calling. Lee only appeared in five films, including two films where he could put his boxing skills to good use: KEEP PUNCHING (’39) and BODY AND SOUL (’47). According to the website Black Past, “Canada Lee declared that he would only take roles that educated society about race and enhanced the image of African Americans.”

For Alfred Hitchcock’s LIFEBOAT (’44), he tweaked the dialogue to make his character less of a stereotype. He had a minor role in LOST BOUNDARIES as the understanding cop who guides a young mixed-race man. The film broke ground for tackling the difficult subject of African Americans passing as white. For his last film role, Lee and co-star Sidney Poitier were smuggled into South Africa by director Zoltan Korda for the production of CRY, THE BELOVED COUNTRY (’51) during the early days of Apartheid. Always proud of his West Indian roots, Lee became an outspoken civil rights activist. This made him a target of the House of Un-American Activities Committee investigation. Many believe that his fatal heart attack at 45 years old was the result of his being persecuted for his political beliefs.

Much like Lee, James Edwards transcended stereotypical Black roles on screen. Edwards served as first lieutenant in the Army during WWII. After a particularly bad car accident that damaged his face and vocal cords, Edwards returned to the U.S. and started training in both public speaking and acting. He earned a master’s degree in drama from Northwestern University and became part of the same acting group, the Federal Theatre Project, as Lee. He made a name for himself on Broadway with the principal part in the play Deep Are the Roots.

Edwards then moved to Los Angeles where he started an acting school and got his start in the film industry. His silver screen debut was in Robert Wise’s film noir THE SET-UP (’49). That same year, Edwards landed one of the lead roles in HOME OF THE BRAVE, a WWII film about racism and psychological trauma. It proved to be his breakthrough performance but is also credited for paving the way for other Black actors, like Sidney Poitier, to take more substantial roles in future productions.

About his performance in HOME OF THE BRAVE, Bogle wrote, “his tension, restlessness, sensitivity and admirable attempt to connect to or at least understand a white world that has continually rejected him make this a fascinating movie.” Edwards often played Black soldiers in war films throughout his acting career. He also worked with top directors in big productions like Stanley Kubrick’s THE KILLING (’56), John Frankenheimer’s THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE (’62), Vincente Minnelli’s THE SANDPIPER (’65) and Franklin J. Schaffner’s PATTON (’70). When he wasn’t acting or helping fellow actors master their craft, Edwards worked as a freelance screenwriter for film and television and was a published novelist. He suffered a fatal heart attack at the age of 51, just as he was preparing for a new role.

Both Lee and Edwards were able to rise above stereotypes to portray more authentic characters on screen. While Lee had a short film career and Edwards was often relegated to minor characters in his movies, they both proved to be pioneers that fought against the limitations Hollywood imposed on them. Their fight paved the way for Black actors to receive quality roles in film.

Treatment of Highly Concentrated Effluent Generated from Intermediate Chemical and Bulk Drug Industries Renovated with Tertiary Removal

Authored by Atun Roy Choudhury

Abstract

Effluent generated from the bulk drug industries is attributed with potential risk to the biotic and abiotic environment. The safe disposal of the same requires multiple stages of standard operation and stringent purification. In order to get rid of the ill impacts associated with the unscientific disposal of the bulk drug industry wastewater common effluent treatment plant (CETP) can be installed as a safe, inexpensive, and wholesome treatment unit. The present study, paid minute attention from the primary collection of the potentially hazardous wastewater to the reuse of the tertiary treated reverse osmosis (RO) process permeate. Initially, the collected effluent was stored in a bottom lined collection tank facilitate with a scrubber system and top enclosure to suppress the odour nuisance. Then effluent was immediately taken to the equalization tank and once homogenization got achieved the same was sent to the flocculation unit, where chemical coagulants were added with the effluent and forwarded to the primary clarifiers to remove the flocculants in the form of solid sludge.

Thereafter, the effluent was taken to the MEE feed tank and the bottom sludge was sent to the dewatering unit. The permeate was sent to the stripping column and the volatile organics were remove. In order to ensure optimal recovery the effluent of the stripper column was fed to the 5 stage multiple effect evaporator (MEE) system and successively followed by agitated thin film dryer (ATFD) set-up. Ultimately, the condensate was sent to the secondary treatment unit incorporated aeration facility and microbial digestion. The supernatant was conveyed to the secondary clarifier and successively to the tertiary treatment facility which comprises pressure sand filter, ultra filtration (UF), and RO. The end product was explicitly analysed to meet the prescribed standards and found to be feasible for reuse in the boiler. Both the primary and secondary sludge was safely discarded into the secured landfill. Thus, an absolute treatment system was delineated above which ensured optimal environmental safety

Keywords:CETP; COD; High TDS treatment; Pharmaceutical wastewater; Tertiary removal

Introduction

Two states located in the southern peninsula of Indian subcontinent namely, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are considered to be the medicinal drug capital of the country which yields approximately 42% of the annual gross pharmaceutical production. Recently, these two states acting as a pioneer in the above delineated sector and showed a promising potential by having a continuous reciprocation with the market demand, technology up gradation, and modernized synthesis mechanisms. Its steady emergence in the pharmaceutical field has given it an international acclamation and plethora of foreign reputed pharma companies started capitalizing their investment into it [1,2]. Though drugs are often treated as life saving elements and trusted partner in health care industry, the production of it is always attributed to generation of highly toxic and complex wastewater. This aspect found to be contradictory to the progress pathway of the industry and thus, seeks a separate attention. Due to the complexity of the generated effluent it requires extensive treatment to bring down to the disposal or reusable limits. A single system consisting of a singular purification approach can not satisfy the prescribe figures due to high TDS and COD values (i.e. often ranging 1,00,000 mg/l and 45,000 mg/l respectively) [3-6]. Therefore a wholesome treatment system comprising multidimensional treatment facility is of utmost importance in order to treat the bulk drug industry wastewater. Furthermore centralization of the entire facilities under a single platform ensures the minimal environmental intervention with minimization of the land requirement. Hence, common effluent treatment plant is the ultimate solution to optimize the treatment expenditure attributed to waste treatment [7-10]. The treatment with the help of CETP requires similarity of the generated effluent. This is a feasible solution for those small scale industries, clustered together who can’t afford to install a separate individual treatment units at their disposal. It prevents them from any additional burden and extends opportunity to focus on the desired output without posing much additional cost to the stack holders [11,12].

The CETP capable of treating pharmaceutical wastewater should comprise the units such as equalization unit, flocculation unit, biological treatment unit, high TDS treatment unit, and tertiary treatment unit [13-17]. The polished effluent can be further reused into the system as a boiler feed or also for greenbelt development. Each facility play a significant role in reduction of a certain parameter and the malfunction of any unit can successively upset the performance of the further units and thus, the plant operation is a delicate issue which needs to be performed under extreme supervision [18]. Despite all those facts execution of CETP can face significant protest from the nearby residents due to the obnoxious smell generation during the ATFD operation and powder precipitation. Therefore, keeping all the social constraints in mind successful operation of the CETP is a challenging task [19,20]. A study conducted by Popuri [21] reported an ultimate contaminant removal of 98% or above can be achieved by a complete CETP. But, contradictorily, a study carried by Salunke et al. [22] reported the inefficiency of such plants under certain circumstances. Thus, in limelight of the above delineated context the primary objective of this study was to explore the feasibility of the industrial CETP towards the treatment of the bulk drug industry wastewater and application of the same to minimize the environmental hazard.

Study Area

The entire research work was carried out within the premises of the Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) designed and maintained by IL&FS Environment in Fab City. The plant is located in an isolated industrial estate and ensures minimal human and environmental interventions. The influence topography and the geological location optimized the safety with constant progress and changes. The approximate coordinates of the plant include, North West Corner (17°12’5.70”N, 78°30’18.54”E); North East (17°12’5.64”N, 78°30’24.08”E); South West (17°12’1.99”N, 78°30’17.87”E); South East (17°12’1.65”N, 78°30’23.85”E).

Materials and Methods

Collection of Effluent from Industries

Process effluent from the pharmaceutical industries is transported to the designed location by means of 10m3 capacity GPS mounted closed tankers. The collection chamber was constructed with a design capacity of 150m3 connected to scrubber for control of odour pollution Thus, the collection tank can withhold approx. 15 truck unloading on regular basis.

Equalization of the Influent

Uniformity of the influent is the prime objective for the efficient working and thus, in order to maintain the minimal variation in the characteristics of the influent equalization tank was introduced. The influent mass was withheld in equalization tank over a period of 20 to 30 min and the tank has a capacity of 400m3. The influent in the tank gets homogenized due to air purges located at the bottom of the tank.

Flocculation

Flocculation tank is the set-up which serves as the platform for mixing. It is attributed with an agitator and has a volume holding capacity of 50m3. The agitator has a maximum working speed of 98 RPM, but 60 RPM was generally used for field application. Polyelectrolyte was used as a chemical coagulant and its efficacy was analysed against total solid removal.

Primary Settling

Once the agitation begins, the wastewater was brought into complete rest to ensure optimal precipitation. Settling of the particles with higher specific gravity often ensured in the primary clarifier, which indirectly released the burden of the high TDS treatment units. The facility comprises one primary clarifier with a volumetric capacity of 150m3 and the effluent from the primary clarifier use to be directly sent to the MEE feed tank for further purification (Tables 1-3).

Sludge Dewatering

The process sludge generated from both the clarifiers found to be highly humid in nature and thus, a moisture removal operation was quite mandatory. Excessive moisture was removed in sludge dewatering unit and the slurry got converted into bulky solid mass. The same was discarded in the secure landfill and environmental safety was ensured.

Removal of Volatile Compounds

The supernatant effluent from the MEE feed tank was directly conveyed to the stripping column via pumping station for further removal of volatile organic compounds (VOC). Contaminated water flows downward by gravity action and the air was forced through it. Thereafter, the contaminated air was purified by passing it through a demister before releasing it to the open atmosphere.

Effluent Densification

The end product of stripper column was further sent to the MEE unit for densification and volume reduction. The installed MEE setup has 5 nos. of calandrias and works in a forward flow mode. The raw juice from stripper column was introduced to the first calandria from the bottom and brought in contact with steam. Heat exchange, gasification, and condensation were few of the operation that was performed simultaneously. The condensate from the facility was sent to the tertiary filtration units; whereas, the concentrate was forwarded to the agitated thin film dryer for further solidification.

Secondary Treatment

The condensate from the high TDS treatment system was conveyed to the biological treatment unit for further polishing and removal of the organic contaminants. This facility incorporates aeration and aerobic microbial digestion. An optimum air supply rate of can be achieved in this system which is subjected to the influent BOD concentrations. A mixed consortium of microbial culture was used in the system by mixing the cow dung into the HTDS condensate with a ratio of 10:90.

Secondary Settling

The effluent from the biological treatment unit was retained in the secondary clarifier over a period of 1 hr to remove the settable solids from the stream before sending it to the advanced treatment unit. Once, the retention time got completed supernatant was sent to the tertiary treatment unit whereas, bottom sludge was conveyed to the sludge dewatering facility and discarded in a similar fashion.

Tertiary Treatment

The semi-polished effluent from the physicochemical treatment unit was supplied to the tertiary unit as an influent. The same was initially introduced to the pressure sand filter and successively followed by Ultra Filtration (UF) and reverse osmosis process. The permeate of RO yielded a satisfactory quality of effluent fit for reuse/recycle in the plant and industries for utilities and RO rejects is again sent back to the MEE. The process flowchart of the plant operations has been portrayed in Figures 1-4.
