Transforming Sri Lanka’s plastic recycling industry requires bold leadership and collaboration. GP Certified has partnered with pioneering recyclers and FMCG brands who are championing the certification process through pilot programs. These early adopters – “Champions of Change” – are setting the foundation for the country’s transition to a more sustainable and profitable plastic waste management system.

The Champions of Change include leading recyclers who are refining their processes to meet GP Certified standards and FMCG companies committed to integrating certified recycled plastics into their packaging. Their participation in the pilot phase is instrumental in testing and refining the certification process, ensuring that it is both rigorous and practical for industry-wide adoption.

At Royal Plastics, we are committed to producing high-quality packaging that meets both local and international standards. Gaining GP Certification for our recycling operation is a key step in demonstrating our dedication to transparency, safety, and sustainability. It gives our clients confidence in the quality of the recycled plastics we use and helps us position ourselves as a trusted supplier to FMCG Companies. – Chanuka Perera, CEO, Royal Plastic Company [Pvt] Ltd.

These industry leaders understand that adaptation is crucial. For years, recyclers have operated without clear quality benchmarks, leading to inconsistencies in recycled plastic output. By undergoing GP Certified’s assessment and implementing necessary improvements, these recyclers are proving that high-quality recycled plastics can be produced locally replacing imported virgin plastic pellets.

For FMCG brands, sourcing certified recycled plastics allows them to save money, meet their sustainability commitments while maintaining product integrity. By working with GP Certified recyclers, these companies are ensuring their packaging aligns with international safety and quality standards, ultimately boosting consumer confidence in sustainable products.

The success of the recyclers will demonstrate that Sri Lanka’s recycling industry can meet global sustainability standards, laying the groundwork for widespread adoption. As more businesses embrace certification, the movement will gain momentum, accelerating the shift towards a circular economy and a cleaner environment.

GP Certified is proud to support these pioneers in their journey. Their dedication to sustainability is shaping the future of plastic recycling in Sri Lanka, proving that when industries adapt, real change happens.
