Reliance is building the India of the future, with responsibility towards all its stakeholders and nature. It has set a target to become Net Carbon Zero by 2035. This is part of a wider ambition to achieve best-in-class standards across environmental, social and governance parameters under the oversight of our Board.

RIL has adopted a multi-pronged approach to prevent plastic waste from entering the environment. It successfully developed patented continuous catalytic pyrolysis technology for Circular Polymers through Chemical Recycling. The technology proven at a pilot scale, can convert unsegregated mixed waste plastics including SUP and MLP into Pyrolysis Oil. RIL has also developed an innovative product for hard-to-recycle end-of-life plastics called ReRoute™. This project utilizes waste plastics in roads improving their properties and supports Circular Economy.

RIL is developing circular polyolefins (Polypropylene and Polyethylene) products, which use post-consumer plastics as raw materials, with our partners. The products, branded as EcoRepol™ and EcoRelene™, provide sustainable packaging solutions for non-food and non-pharma applications.

Recron Green Gold™ Polyester Staple Fibre (rPSF), part of our line of eco-friendly fabrics, are produced by recycling waste PET bottles through mechanical recycling. RIL has a recycling capacity of 2 billion bottles per annum for rPSF, which would double to 5 billion bottles per annum by FY 23.

As we invest in future‑ready businesses, we view sustainability as an enabler that can aid our purpose and deliver superior outcomes for all. RIL is committed to pioneering circular economy practices and become one of the leading plastic recyclers in the world.
