In an era where sustainability is no longer a choice but a necessity, Dr. Sameer Joshi stands as a remarkable force for environmental progress and circular economy innovation. With over a decade of focused work in plastic waste management, his journey combines technical expertise, deep industry involvement, and an unwavering commitment to creating a cleaner, more responsible world.
From Polymers to Purpose
Dr. Joshi holds a degree in Polymer Engineering and a Ph.D. in Waste Management, a unique academic combination that has laid the foundation for his impactful career. With hands-on experience in plastic injection molding through his own unit in Pune, he brings both theoretical and practical expertise to the field.
But Dr. Joshi’s contribution goes far beyond manufacturing. He is a valued advisor, educator, innovator, and policy influencer, deeply involved in projects across national and international platforms — including the UN Global Plastic Treaty, World Economic Forum, and NITI Aayog committees.
Leadership in Plastic Waste Solutions
Dr. Joshi’s core strength lies in building bridges between industry, government, and academia. His work with young entrepreneurs, greenfield recycling projects, and defense waste management initiatives exemplifies his belief that innovation and collaboration are key to solving the plastic crisis.
As Vice Chairman of the Indian Plastics Institute (2023–2025) and a fellow of multiple prestigious institutions, including the Society of Plastic Engineers USA, he is guiding the next generation of sustainability leaders through mentorship, publications, and public speaking.
Notably, he is also the Guinness World Record holder for creating the world’s largest T-shirt made from plastic waste, an inspiring symbol of reuse and awareness.
Recognized Across Borders
Dr. Joshi’s work has earned him accolades like the Paryavaran Bhushan Award from the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board, along with recognition from numerous national and international organizations. His reputation as a “hero of environment and recycling” is well earned.
Respected voices in the industry, like Padmashri R. Vasudevan, fondly describe him as “a lovable man for all — rich in knowledge and human at heart.” It is this combination of intellect, humility, and drive that makes Dr. Joshi an irreplaceable leader in the global sustainability movement.
Empowering the Future: DIPI Course by Indian Plastics Institute
As part of his educational initiatives, Dr. Joshi is closely associated with the Diploma of Indian Plastics Institute (DIPI) — a part-time, technical course designed for managers, supervisors, and entrepreneurs in the plastics and allied sectors. The program blends polymer science, product design, and industrial management to build future-ready professionals for India’s fast-growing sustainability ecosystem.
Highlights include:
- 300 hours of expert-led training
- Industry-relevant practicals and simulations
- National-level certification by IPI
This initiative reinforces Dr. Joshi’s belief that education is the key to transformation in how we design, use, and manage plastic materials.
