Avro India Launches Largest Flexible Plastic Recycling Unit

14 Jan 2026 CW Team

The company has invested Rs 250 million in the recycling plant to date and plans an additional investment of Rs 300 million by FY 2027. As part of its long-term sustainability strategy, Avro India also plans to expand pan-India through future greenfield recycling projects.

Founded in 2002, Avro India is a leading manufacturer of plastic-moulded furniture, serving households, businesses and institutions across the country. The company is listed on the NSE and BSE and has built an extensive distribution network of over 30,000 retailers supported by more than 300 distributors across 24 states.

After more than three years of research and technological development, Avro has developed a proprietary system capable of upcycling complex plastic waste such as cement, salt and sugar bags at scale. The system enables the responsible processing of nearly one million metric tonnes per annum of such waste generated in India.

The recycled granules produced are fully utilised in high-value end products, including plastic furniture, air coolers, washing machines and automotive components. These granules are available at up to 40 per cent lower cost than virgin plastic while meeting required technical and durability standards.

With Extended Producer Responsibility norms mandating the use of recycled plastic content, Avro India has emerged as one of the most reliable organised players in flexible plastic recycling. Looking ahead, the company is developing a pan-India network of decentralised recycling plants to accelerate India’s transition towards a circular economy.

Avro India has recently announced the launch of a state-of-the-art greenfield recycling facility in Ghaziabad, aimed at addressing the challenge of recycling difficult-to-process plastic waste. The facility operates under AVRO Recycling Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Avro India Limited, and houses India’s largest flexible plastic recycling unit with a current processing capacity of 500 metric tonnes per month, which is set to scale up in future phases. The company has invested Rs 250 million in the recycling plant to date and plans an additional investment of Rs 300 million by FY 2027.
