Avro India Limited has launched a new greenfield recycling facility in Ghaziabad, aimed at addressing the challenge of recycling flexible plastic waste. Operated through its wholly owned subsidiary, AVRO Recycling Limited, the facility houses India’s largest organized flexible plastic recycling unit with an initial processing capacity of 500 metric tonnes per month.
The project represents a capital investment of ₹25 crore to date, with plans to invest an additional ₹30 crore by FY27. The facility is designed to process complex plastic waste streams such as cement bags, food packaging, and industrial sacks, which have traditionally been difficult to recycle at scale.
After more than three years of research and trials, Avro has developed a proprietary recycling system capable of converting such waste into high-quality recycled granules. These granules are used in the manufacture of products including plastic furniture, air coolers, washing machines, automotive components, and other industrial applications. The recycled material offers cost advantages of up to 40 percent compared to virgin plastic while meeting performance and durability requirements.
The initiative comes at a time when Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations require the use of recycled content in plastic products, creating a growing demand for reliable sources of recycled raw material. Avro aims to bridge this supply gap by providing consistent volumes at industrial scale.
Sushil Kumar Aggarwal, Chairman and Whole-Time Director of Avro India Limited, said the company’s approach focuses on combining scale, technology, and long-term intent to transform plastic waste into valuable resources. He added that the company plans to develop a pan-India network of recycling facilities to support a circular economy.
Founded in 2002, Avro India Limited is a leading manufacturer of plastic-moulded furniture with a nationwide distribution network. Listed on NSE and BSE, the company operates across manufacturing, recycling, and sustainable materials, with a focus on responsible growth and long-term environmental impact.
