In an era defined by environmental urgency and the call for circular economies, few leaders embody both vision and action like Aryan Aggarwal, CEO of Recycle Plastics. At just the right intersection of innovation and legacy, Aryan is steering one of Asia’s most influential plastic recycling companies toward a future where sustainability isn’t just a choice—it’s the default.
A Global Force with Deep Roots
Founded in 1985 by Rakesh Aggarwal, a pioneering force who authored India’s first polymer industry standards, Recycle Plastics has grown from a national trailblazer to a global powerhouse. Under Aryan’s leadership, the company now boasts:
- 9 recycling plants across Asia
- Annual recycling capacity of 36,000 MT
- Over 4 million MT of plastic waste processed
- Production of virgin-quality PE & PP granules
- Exports to 13 countries
- A commitment to employing over 60% women
With these milestones, Recycle Plastics continues to redefine what’s possible in sustainable manufacturing.
Aryan Aggarwal: A New-Age Sustainability Leader
A graduate of University College London (UCL) with a Master’s in Management, Aryan is more than just an inheritor of legacy—he’s a disruptor in his own right. He represented India at EarthX USA, the world’s largest environmental conference, and was spotlighted in:
- Silicon India Magazine’s “10 Most Promising Waste Management Companies 2023”
- Impact Report Magazine (Singapore) by PCX in 2024
Aryan’s leadership is a synthesis of global thinking and grassroots impact. With strategic partnerships across industries—Oppo, Samsung, GAIL, Aditya Birla, Touchland, and more—he’s positioning Recycle Plastics at the heart of the global circular economy.
Beyond Recycling: A Movement Toward True Circularity
Recycle Plastics isn’t just about reprocessing waste. The company pioneers Plastic Credit Certification and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs, making it the only Indian firm globally licensed to issue plastic credits. With access to special permissions from the Government of India, it also imports plastic waste from across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia, ensuring that no boundary limits the company’s impact.
Its ultimate mission? Eliminate all landfills. With operational tie-ups with Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) and a roadmap to build high-end hypermarket chains like YESS – Your Everyday Super Store, the Aggarwal family is crafting a sustainable ecosystem that integrates commerce, compliance, and conservation.
