ReCircle, the resource recovery company, has been certified under the prestigious Ocean Bound Plastic (OBP) Certification Program by Zero Plastic Oceans (ZPO).
Mumbai — August 21, 2023: What started with a passion for scuba-diving for the co-founders of ReCircle, Rahul Nainani and Gurashish Singh Sahni led to something profound. It was during one of their awe-inspiring dives, surrounded by magnificent marine life, that they came face to face with a heart-wrenching reality — plastic trash littering the ocean floor. The duo realised that their commitment to diverting waste from landfills was only one part of the equation. In order to truly make a huge difference, the company also had to embrace its responsibility to protect our oceans, so they can thrive for generations to come.
