New Delhi, January 8, 2026: Avro India Limited, a leading manufacturer of plastic-moulded furniture, has taken a major step towards sustainable waste management with the launch of its greenfield plastic recycling facility in Ghaziabad, marking a significant move in India’s waste-to-wealth journey.
The facility, operated through AVRO Recycling Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Avro India, houses India’s largest flexible plastic recycling plant with an initial processing capacity of 500 metric tonnes per month (MTPM). The company has indicated that the capacity will be scaled up in phases.
Avro India has invested ₹25 crore in the recycling plant so far and plans to invest an additional ₹30 crore by FY 2027. As part of its long-term sustainability strategy, the company also intends to expand its recycling footprint across India through future greenfield projects.
Founded in 2002, Avro India Limited is a well-established player in the plastic-moulded furniture segment and is listed on both the NSE and BSE. The company has built a nationwide distribution network spanning over 30,000 retailers and more than 300 distributors across 24 states.
The Ghaziabad facility addresses the challenge of recycling difficult-to-process plastic waste such as cement bags, salt and sugar packaging, putty bags, and calcite packaging—materials that were historically considered largely non-recyclable and handled predominantly by the unorganised sector. After more than three years of research and technological development, Avro has developed a proprietary process that enables large-scale upcycling of such complex plastic waste. The system is capable of responsibly processing nearly 1 million metric tonnes per annum (MTPA) of this waste generated in India.
The recycled granules produced at the facility are fully utilised in the manufacture of high-value end products, including plastic furniture, air coolers, washing machines, automotive components, and other industrial and consumer applications. These granules are priced up to 40% lower than virgin plastic while meeting stringent quality and durability standards.
With the Government of India’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) norms mandating the use of at least 30% recycled plastic content in rigid plastics, demand for high-quality recycled raw materials has surged. Avro India has positioned itself as one of the largest organised players in the flexible plastic recycling segment, offering consistent and reliable supply at industrial scale.
Commenting on the development, Sushil Kumar Aggarwal, Chairman and Whole-Time Director of Avro India Limited, said the company’s approach combines scale, technology, and long-term commitment. “Our vision goes beyond recycling. We are building a nationwide ecosystem that converts complex plastic waste into valuable raw material while supporting India’s transition to a circular economy,” he said.
Looking ahead, Avro India plans to develop a pan-India network of ‘mother and baby’ recycling plants to decentralise waste processing and strengthen sustainable plastic management across the country.
