Success Story

A mid-sized plastic recycler in Maharashtra was processing 200 MT annually but not registered on the CPCB portal. We completed their PWP registration in 28 days, set up certificate issuance processes, and connected them with 8 producers from our network. Within six months they had signed offtake agreements for 150 MT equivalent certificates, adding significant revenue while staying fully compliant.
