Innovative and Inclusive Circular Plastic Recycling for a Better Future.
Headquartered in Hyderabad, Banyan Nation is one of India’s first vertically integrated plastics recycling companies, pioneering circular economy in polyolefins (PE and PP) in the country. Through our world-class recycling facility and human-contact-safe primary packaging resins, we enabled several large multinational brands to make the transition from linear to circular manufacturing. Banyan Nation has developed a blueprint for circular plastic recycling – integrating with informal sector collectors and aggregators across India, leveraging proprietary technology, and partnering with leading brands, we have demonstrated that plastic recycling can be socially and environmentally responsible while being economically viable.
