ReCircle, an NGO based in India, is on a mission to tackle the pressing issue of plastic waste. With India importing a staggering 465 crore plastic bo Read morettles annually and ranking second globally in plastic waste production, the organisation was founded to address this alarming paradox. ReCircle's primary focus is on building the essential infrastructure for national waste recovery and recycling. Its vision is to create a world where resources are not wasted but are ethically recycled and reused. This involves diverting waste away from landfills and oceans, formalizing the marginalized waste industry in India, and promoting a circular economy where waste is viewed as a valuable resource. Headquartered in Mumbai, ReCircle operates in the heart of India's economic centre, juxtaposed with the country's largest landfill. This location serves as a constant reminder of the delicate balance between economic development and environmental stewardship that ReCircle strives to maintain. The organisation takes pride in setting high standards for responsible brand practices. At ReCircle, waste is seen not only as a problem but also as a solution. It views waste as a potential raw material, and through its efforts has reengineered waste into repurposed items, contributing to a sustainable future. Over the years, ReCircle has grown significantly, evolving from a grassroots waste collection aggregator in 2016 to a trusted partner for urban Government bodies, global corporations, local businesses, and individuals, recovering an impressive 8,800 kg of waste per hour. With a presence in over 300 locations, 300+ waste collection partners, and 45 processors, ReCircle is making strides in the battle against waste, aiming to inspire change not only in India but worldwide.
