About the Series
Maharashtra’s Recycling Challenge Doesn’t Look the Same Everywhere
Maharashtra generates some of India’s most complex and diverse waste streams — and no two cities manage them the same way. Rather than a single large conference that speaks to everyone in general, the Recycling Vision Series 2026 is a focused, city-specific seminar series — each edition shaped by the materials, players, and policy pressures of that city. Here is what each city is actually dealing with.
Pune
The Formalisation Gap
- Multi-layer plastics slipping through segregation systems
- E-waste and battery waste poorly channelised into unauthorised networks
- IT parks and auto-tech firms generating volumes the formal system isn't capturing
Nagpur
The Compliance Gap
- Plastics and metals being collected but EPR accountability inconsistent
- Source segregation incomplete across 1,200 TPD waste intake
- Digital traceability and reporting systems still catching up
Nashik
The Scale Gap
- Large-scale PET recycling capacity exists — collection at source hasn't kept up
- Mechanical vs chemical recycling decisions still unresolved
- Tyre and ELV processing infrastructure underdeveloped
Nagpur
The Compliance Gap
- Marine plastics and fishing net waste reaching the sea
- Tourism-driven plastic generation with no formal collection system
- Small-town waste infrastructure not built for current volumes
Each edition brings together the full recycling value chain — technology providers, processors, waste collection agencies, waste pickers, generators of waste, and end users of recycled products — in a structured format that combines presentations, case studies, panel discussions, and fireside chats.
The Four Cities
Where We Are Going
Each city edition is built around a distinct theme that reflects its specific recycling landscape, key challenges, and the conversations that actually need to happen there.
