05/16/2025
Recycling start-up company Green Recycle USA LLC plans to establish operations in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. The $4.3 million project is expected to create 28 jobs.

The company’s new facility, located in an existing warehouse at 200 Learners Lane in Blairs, will process and recycle industrial plastic waste.

“At the heart of our mission is a simple belief that industrial progress and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand,” said Green Recycle USA LLC Founder & CEO Pramod Raghav. “By transforming plastic waste into valuable resources, we’re not just recycling—we’re rethinking the future of sustainability in industry. We hope to inspire and unite manufacturing units, businesses, and community leaders across the region to work together in building a truly circular economy, one that benefits not only today’s industries but also future generations. Through collaboration and shared commitment, we can create a cleaner environment, generate green jobs, and spark economic revitalization in Pittsylvania County and beyond.”

To support the project Governor Youngkin approved a $150,000 grant from the Commonwealth’s Opportunity Fund to assist Pittsylvania County.?Funding and services to support the company’s employee training activities will be provided through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program. The Virginia Tobacco Region Revitalization Commission approved a grant for $26,500 from the Tobacco Region Opportunity Fund for the project.

“This project isn’t just about recycling – it’s about rethinking how we use materials and ensuring future generations become inspired by these innovative practices,” noted Secretary of Commerce and Trade Juan Pablo Segura. “We’re excited to see the positive impact Green Recycle?will bring to our region.”

The Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) worked with the Southern Virginia Regional Alliance and Pittsylvania County to secure the project.

“Green Recycle USA is an exciting addition to Pittsylvania County’s diverse industrial base, bringing state-of-the-art recycling and manufacturing technology to the region,” added Southern Virginia Regional Alliance Executive Director Linda Green. “In addition to creating jobs, the company will serve as a critical resource for area businesses pursuing zero waste goals, contributing to the economic vitality of Southern Virginia.”

Ranging from recycling plastics (pure or mixed, rigid or flexible), discarded fabric (woven or non-woven), Wood and cardboard, Green Recycle offers established solutions for varied industrial waste streams from manufacturing businesses.

“Congratulations to Green Recycle USA for selecting Pittsylvania County for its plastics recycling facility,” said Pittsylvania County Industrial Development Authority Chairman Dr. Joey Faucette. “We’re delighted they will pursue their commitment to being on the forefront of creating a more sustainable future. Pittsylvania County successfully competed with two other states to bring Green Recycle to Southside Virginia and that decision continues to prove that Pittsylvania County is a great place to do business. I also applaud my fellow board members of the Industrial Development Authority, the county’s economic development staff, county leadership, and especially Green Recycle for working as a team to make this vision a reality.”
