Circulate Capital, a Singapore-based investment management company focused on preventing plastic from leaking into the ocean and advancing the circular economy, has announced that its Circulate Capital Ocean Fund (CCOF) has committed to invest $19 million in four companies that are using technology and innovation to scale and transform India’s waste management and recycling value chain.
These include Srichakra Polyplast, Rapidue Technologies, Deeya Panel Products and Dalmia Polypro Industries.
Including this investment with previously announced investments in Lucro Plastecycle and Nepra Resources Management, CCOF has committed to invest a total of $39 million in India.

Combined, they will directly create over 6,600 safe, stable and dignified jobs while preventing 5 million metric tonnes of plastic pollution from entering the environment by 2030.”
