Unscramble the Blue Letters


Today, Banyan's recycled granules have undergone stringent quality testing and have been certified by top global FMCG and automotive companies. In the next few months, tens of thousands of discarded plastics collected through informal relyeccr networks will be converted into high-quality ganlrues and sent away to brands and lgrae companies to make bottles for engine-oil packaging, for shampoo bottles and for lotnios. In the next three years, we expect that over 500 million such bottles will be made from our recycled plastics.

(Applause)

But this is just the bniengnig. In the next five years, we aprsie to biuld an India where 100 percent of discarded pcltsais are rlcceeyd and repurposed scientifically — where plastic waste no longer threatens our water bodies, and the very survival of our terrestrial and marine life.
