HONG KONG, Sept. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On September 11, Blue Planet Environmental Solutions, a leading force in sustainable waste management, took centre stage at the AVPN Global Conference 2025 in Hong Kong, showcasing how bold bets on circular economy innovation are reshaping Asia’s environmental future.
Bold Ideas. Scalable Impact at AVPN Global Conference 2025
Delivering a powerful message under the Social Innovation Track, Prashant Singh, Co-Founder & CEO of Blue Planet, shared the company’s journey from an unconventional idea to a tech-powered platform integrating municipal solid waste, e-waste, plastics, hazardous waste, and biofuels—a first in the industry.
“When we started, no one imagined waste could be reimagined as a single integrated platform. Everyone worked in silos. We bet on circularity, traceability, and zero waste to landfill before it was mainstream. Today, that bet is reality,” Singh said.
He spotlighted Blue Planet’s landfill mining projects, at scale in India, once deemed impossible, now reclaiming hundreds of acres of toxic dumps through technology and public-private partnerships.
“Leadership is not about avoiding risk—it’s about making risk investible, bankable, and scalable,” Singh noted.
Singh also underlined the need for patient, risk-aligned capital and progressive policies to scale circular models, while reaffirming Blue Planet’s commitment to radical transparency, last-mile traceability, and on-ground empowerment as the company’s cultural backbone.
“We don’t sell disruption. We build trust with data, transparency, and impact. Every ton processed, every acre reclaimed, is tracked and verified,” he added.
The AVPN Global Conference 2025, hosted with The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, convened over 250 speakers and 100 sessions on climate action, sustainable finance, and inclusive development.
Blue Planet’s participation reinforced its mission: transforming waste into value and pioneering scalable circular economy solutions across Asia.
