Cleantech, a leading integrated environmental solutions provider in Sri Lanka and a member of the Abans Group, has launched a groundbreaking initiative aimed at reducing the use of prime plastics through a self-sustaining market system.
The official launch event took place on July 24, 2025, at the Courtyard by Marriott, with participation from dignitaries, key industry stakeholders and company officials.
Named Re-Circle, the initiative marks a significant milestone as Cleantech becomes the first company in Sri Lanka to implement a full-cycle plastic waste management model—covering the collection, recycling, and reproduction of products using 100% recycled plastic materials.
A highlight of the event was a panel discussion titled “Innovative Plastic Recycling Initiatives to Beat Plastic Pollution through Self-sustained Market System,” featuring distinguished speakers including, Jagath Jayasundara (CEO, Abans Electricals PLC), Shiranee Yasaratne (Environmental Management Specialist), Gamini Subasinghe (Senior Environmental Specialist) and Rukitha Nanayakkara (CEO, Cleantech Pvt. Ltd.).
Cleantech’s wide range of services includes environmental management, circular economy solutions, advanced recycling technologies, hygiene management, city beautification, facilities management, and water and wastewater treatment. The Re-Circle initiative is rooted in the belief that waste can be transformed into valuable resources through sustainable recycling practices, reinforcing the principles of a circular economy and positioning Cleantech as a benchmark in the South Asian region.
Cleantech is a proud subsidiary of the Abans Group, a diversified conglomerate established in 1968. With over 10,000 employees and 400 touchpoints across Sri Lanka, the Group operates in sectors such as retail, services, logistics, manufacturing, real estate, and infrastructure.
As a testament to its commitment to quality, sustainability, and workplace safety, Cleantech holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, as well as Global Recycled Standard (GRS) and Zero Waste to Landfill (ZWL) certifications.
