Company Overview

Nepra Resource Management Pvt. Ltd. is an Ahmedabad based company that provides dry waste management, recycling, and sustainability advisory services to municipalities, industrial clients, and businesses across India. The company was incorporated in 2006 and began operating its dry waste collection and recycling business under the brand “Let’s Recycle” in 2012.

Nepra runs a network of Material Recovery Facilities and a Plastic Waste Processing Facility that washes and pelletizes post-consumer plastic into recycled granules, supported by a zero liquid discharge water system. The company sources waste through a network of informal waste pickers, whom it formalizes into paid collection roles tracked through its own Enterprise Resource Planning based collection application.

Beyond waste collection, Nepra has expanded into Extended Producer Responsibility consulting and technology, helping producers, importers, and brand owners register and comply with India’s plastic packaging EPR rules through its EPR Connect platform. The company also offers ESG advisory services through its ESG Konnect platform, environmental regulatory and consent compliance support, and Solar EPC services as an authorized channel partner of Adani Solar.

Nepra operates NEPRA Projects as a system integration arm for turnkey waste management and circular economy infrastructure, and has formed a joint venture, NEPRA HuMeij Windshifters, with Netherlands based HuMeij BV to bring air classification and material sorting technology to India. The company has raised multiple rounds of institutional funding since 2013, including impact investment from Aavishkaar Capital, Circulate Capital, and Blue Earth Capital.

Why These SDGs Matter

Nepra’s Plastic Waste Processing Facility operates on a zero liquid discharge basis with full water reuse, directly supporting SDG 6 on clean water and sanitation. Its role as an authorized Solar EPC partner for commercial and industrial clients contributes to SDG 7 by expanding access to clean energy. By formalizing informal waste pickers into paid, tracked collection roles with above-market earnings, Nepra advances SDG 8 on decent work. Its municipal solid waste collection and processing services in cities such as Ahmedabad, Pune, and Indore support SDG 11 on sustainable cities. The company’s core business of diverting dry waste from landfills into recycling and post-consumer granule production aligns with SDG 12 on responsible consumption and production. Finally, the reduction of landfill-bound waste and associated emissions ties directly to SDG 13 on climate action.

Approach & Methodology

Nepra’s operating model combines a people-centric collection network with technology-driven processing infrastructure. Waste collection is carried out by a network of waste pickers who are formally engaged and tracked through a proprietary Enterprise Resource Planning based mobile application, which the company states was the first such system developed by an Indian waste management organization.

Collected dry waste is processed at Material Recovery Facilities located in Ahmedabad, Pune, Indore, Jamnagar, and Bengaluru, where recyclable materials such as paper, plastic, glass, and metal are sorted and channeled to recyclers or co-processors. Plastic packaging waste is further processed at a dedicated Plastic Waste Processing Facility that combines washing and pelletizing capabilities with a zero liquid discharge water system, enabling manufacture of post-consumer recycled granules.

For EPR compliance, Nepra built EPR Connect, a software platform that supports registration, credit tracking, and annual filing on the CPCB’s centralized EPR portal, with EPR certificates issued for its Jamnagar and Indore facilities. Its ESG advisory arm uses the ESG Konnect platform to collect over 100 sustainability metrics aligned to more than 15 global ESG standards and frameworks. Through its joint venture with HuMeij BV, Nepra has localized European air classification technology for waste segregation under the “Windshifters” product line, manufactured in India. Solar EPC delivery follows a standard engineering, procurement, and construction process, from site assessment through installation and commissioning, as an authorized Adani Solar channel partner. The company maintains ISO 9001:2005 certification for its quality management system.

Market Position

Nepra serves municipalities, urban local bodies, and a broad base of commercial and industrial clients, including hotels, IT and telecom firms, retail chains, and residential communities, alongside producers, importers, and brand owners seeking EPR compliance. Circulate Capital and multiple media outlets have described Nepra as India’s largest dry waste collector and processor. The company competes with other Indian waste management and EPR technology providers such as Recykal and Saahas Zero Waste. Its differentiation rests on a two-decade operating history, an ISO 9001 certified MRF network, proprietary EPR Connect and ESG Konnect software, and diversification into ESG advisory and solar EPC alongside its core waste management business.

Procurement Considerations
  • Verify current ISO 9001 certification scope and audit date
  • Confirm EPR credit issuance timelines via the CPCB portal
  • Check MRF proximity to your waste generation locations
  • Clarify SLA for collection frequency and traceability reporting
  • Review data handling practices for EPR Connect and ESG Konnect
  • Confirm pricing structure for EPR credits and advisory fees
  • Assess scope of regulatory and consent approval support offered

Natnavi Analysis

Nepra Resource Management occupies a distinctive position in India’s waste management landscape as one of the country’s longer-running dry waste collection and recycling operators, with nearly two decades of operating history and institutional backing from impact investors including Aavishkaar Capital, Circulate Capital, and Blue Earth Capital. Its core contribution lies in formalizing India’s informal waste picker economy while building physical recycling infrastructure that keeps dry waste out of landfills.

The company’s evolution from a single-city recycler into a broader sustainability solutions provider, spanning EPR compliance software, ESG advisory, and solar EPC, reflects a strategy of following India’s tightening regulatory environment around plastic packaging and corporate sustainability disclosure. This diversification gives Nepra multiple, potentially complementary revenue streams tied to genuine market obligations such as EPR credit generation.

At the same time, the breadth of the company’s current offering, spanning physical waste processing, software platforms, regulatory advisory, and renewable energy EPC, means procurement teams evaluating any single service line should confirm which specific NEPRA or Let’s Recycle entity and facility will service their requirement, given the group’s multiple operating brands and locations. Independent third-party verification of specific quantitative claims, such as total tonnage diverted or precise emissions avoided, remains limited to company and investor sources.
