Banyan Nation: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)
Recycling activities in much of the developing world are relegated to the shadow economy or the informal markets. Banyan Nation is a new age recycling company that is formalizing the informal supply chain through a data intelligence platform and has developed a pioneering plastics cleaning technology to produce near virgin grade recycled HDPE material. Banyan's innovative business model has unlocked ‘Circular Economy’ in India compelling responsible brands such as Unilever, Reckitt Benckiser, Shell, Tata Motors to use thousands of tons of recycled plastics instead of virgin plastics. Banyan collects thousands of tons of discarded post consumer HDPE waste such as shampoo, lotion, edible oil, engine oil bottles through its informal recycler network and recycles them into high quality recycled HDPE Blow Grade granules at its state of the art recycling facility in Hyderabad. Banyan Nation won the Dell Circular Economy People’s Choice Award at the World Economic Forum, Davos in 2018.

About FundedIQ's Banyan Nation Funding Data
FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.
Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Banyan Nation is left off this page rather than filled in.
