Landbell GFS India Private Limited is revolutionizing waste management in India. Formed in November 2021 as a dynamic joint venture between Germany’s Landbell Group and GreenForest Solutions (a sister concern of BlackForest Solutions), the company operates from its headquarters in Mumbai. As a licensed Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO), it delivers comprehensive Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) solutions tailored to India’s rapidly evolving regulatory environment.
Leveraging over two decades of global expertise, Landbell GFS offers fully transparent, traceable, and compliant services across plastic packaging waste, e-waste, and waste batteries. Its offerings span recyclability assessments, custom-designed take-back programs, and strategic advisory services—empowering both corporations and government bodies to navigate and meet India’s EPR mandates with confidence. At the core of its approach lies a focus on reuse, recycling, and the integration of recycled content into production systems.
What truly differentiates Landbell GFS is its ability to adapt global best practices to local contexts. The company collaborates actively with state governments to operationalize EPR frameworks—building robust stakeholder registries and strengthening the plastic waste ecosystem from the ground up.
More importantly, Landbell GFS envisions an India free from unregulated landfills and inefficient waste management systems. Through its unwavering commitment to circular economy principles, it acts as a key enabler of sustainable transformation—paving the way for a cleaner, greener, and more responsible future.
