About VRPL
Pioneering Waste-to-Energy Solutions for India
Varanasi Recyclers Private Limited
This Start Up company was formed with the objective of transforming all types of city wastes into Electricity & later into Green Hydrogen.
VRPL is a government-recognized startup (DPIIT certified) dedicated to solving India's waste management crisis through advanced indigenous technology. We convert Municipal Solid Waste, plastic waste, biomedical waste, and hazardous waste into clean syngas, which is then used to generate electricity and, in Phase 2, green hydrogen.
Our technology partnership with CSIR-CMERI and BARC ensures we're implementing indigenous (Swadeshi) technology that's proven, safe, and effective.
Concurrently, we are engaging with schools and colleges to conduct awareness programs and training sessions. These capacity-building initiatives align with the State Government's missions of 'Samriddh Uttar Pradesh-2047' and 'Nari Shakti Mission-2047'.
