Sri Lanka’s transition toward a sustainable, circular economy received a major boost as CleanTech, one of the country’s leading environmental solutions providers, achieved international “Good Plastic” recycling certification. This milestone positions Sri Lanka more firmly on the global sustainability map while demonstrating how local innovation can meet global environmental standards.
The recognition reflects growing momentum within Sri Lanka’s private sector to address plastic waste responsibly, reduce landfill dependency, and create long-term value from recycled materials. At a time when environmental accountability is becoming a global priority, CleanTech’s achievement signals a practical, scalable path forward for the island nation.
Driving Sri Lanka’s Circular Economy Vision
Sri Lanka generates thousands of tonnes of plastic waste annually, much of which traditionally ends up in landfills or waterways. CleanTech’s certified recycling processes aim to change this narrative by converting plastic waste into usable raw materials that re-enter the production cycle.
The Good Plastic certification validates that CleanTech’s operations meet international benchmarks for:
- Ethical waste sourcing
- Transparent recycling processes
- Environmental responsibility
- Traceability across the recycling value chain
This recognition strengthens confidence among local manufacturers, exporters, and international partners seeking responsibly sourced recycled materials.
Economic and Environmental Impact
Beyond environmental protection, CleanTech’s certification supports:
- Green job creation
- Reduced import dependence on virgin plastics
- Stronger ESG credentials for Sri Lankan businesses
- Export-ready recycled materials aligned with global standards
As sustainability increasingly influences trade and investment decisions, such certifications give Sri Lanka a competitive edge in global markets.
Setting an Industry Benchmark
CleanTech’s achievement is expected to inspire other companies to adopt certified recycling practices, accelerating Sri Lanka’s broader transition toward low-waste, high-value production systems. It also complements national sustainability goals and private-sector ESG commitments.
