Banyan

Banyan is one of India’s first vertically integrated plastic recycling companies that helps global brands use more recycled plastic instead of virgin plastic. Our proprietary plastic cleaning technology converts collected post-consumer and post-industrial plastic waste into high-quality recycled granules –Better Plastic™– comparable in quality and performance to virgin plastic. Our award-winning data intelligence platform integrates thousands of informal recyclers into our supply chain and also helps cities manage their waste more effectively.

Plastics Technology

Banyan's proprietary plastic cleaning technology removes inks, coatings, and other contaminants using environment-friendly detergents and solvents to supply near virgin quality recycled granules to brands, a first in India highly informal, low tech industry. Banyan pioneered closed-loop recycling initiatives with India's leading automotive company (making new bumpers from discarded ones) and a global cosmetics company (making new bottles from discarded ones), establishing circular economy leadership in the automotive and beauty sector respectively, that can be extended to other industries.

Data Intelligence

Banyan is one of the first companies in the country to use mobile, cloud, and IoT to integrate thousands of informal sector last-mile collectors into its supply chain to recover post-consumer as well as post-industrial plastic waste. The platform has now been extended to help cash-strapped municipalities understand waste flows through their cities and use a data-centric approach to make waste management more efficient, effective, and economical.
