In a world battling plastic waste, how can something discarded become something valuable—like ropes and yarn? At National Plastic Industries, the answer lies in innovation, sustainability, and advanced recycling methods.

From misprinted films to factory offcuts, plastic waste that would otherwise clog Nepal’s landfills is being transformed into high-quality Sutali ropes and monofilament yarn, both essential to agriculture, packaging, and manufacturing sectors.

Let’s explore how recycled plastic becomes a sustainable raw material for ropes and yarn in Nepal.


Step 1: Collecting and Sorting Plastic Waste

The process begins with collecting post-industrial plastic waste such as rejected packaging materials, plastic bags, offcuts, and misprinted films. These materials are sorted by type—mainly HDPE, LDPE, and PP—to ensure quality and consistency in the final product.


Step 2: Plastic Granulation

Sorted plastics are cleaned, shredded, and melted using high-temperature recycling machines. The result is recycled plastic granules—uniform pellets that serve as the raw material for manufacturing both Sutali ropes and monofilament yarn.

  • HDPE/LDPE granules → Used for Monofilament Yarn

  • PP granules → Used for Sutali Ropes

These granules offer consistency in melt flow index (MFI) and are available in various colors and grades.


Step 3: Extruding Monofilament Yarn

In the monofilament process, melted HDPE/LDPE is extruded through fine dies to form single-filament yarns. These filaments are cooled, stretched, and spooled, resulting in abrasion-resistant yarns with high tensile strength.

Common Uses:

  • Agricultural twines and nets

  • Fishing lines

  • Woven sacks and industrial fabrics

  • Brush bristles and plastic cords

Our yarn is available in denier sizes from 300D to 6000D, and can be customized by color, thickness, or packaging.


Step 4: Manufacturing Sutali Ropes

Sutali ropes are made by extruding recycled polypropylene (PP) into strands that are twisted into flexible, durable ropes. These ropes are lightweight yet strong, and well-suited for indoor and outdoor use.

Common Uses:

  • Tying hay bales, sacks, or plants

  • Packaging and warehouse bundling

  • Retail, commercial, and household use

Our Sutali ropes come in a variety of diameters (1 mm to 6 mm) and vibrant color options including red, blue, green, and yellow. Custom roll lengths and packaging options are also available.
