India's First National Circular Economy Summit Built For Actionable Impact
What is the GREENS Summit?
GREENS is not another sustainability conference. It is India's most substantive circular economy summit, structured around technology & innovations, policy, compliance mandates, and governance decisions that shape the future of India's Recycling & Waste Management Ecosystem.
The GREENS Summit is the only national platform where all of these regulatory threads converge in one room with the industry leaders, policymakers, and investors who own the decisions.
As India’s circular economy shifts from policy design to enforcement, the Summit creates a space where decisions, capital, and execution capability intersect at the right time.
April 1, 2026: Six major waste and recycling regulations took effect
February 2026: Supreme Court issued pan-India directives on solid waste compliance
January 2026: CBAM's definitive phase began
Live Now: India's food-grade rPET mandate in effect
Together, they make GREENS 2026 one of the most consequential circular economy and waste management gatherings in India.
