Fornnax Opens Major Innovation Hub to Fast-Track Recycling Technology

New research and testing centre in Gujarat aims to cut years of recycling innovation into months while helping industries tackle growing waste challenges.

In a significant move for the recycling and waste management industry, Fornnax Technology has launched a large research and development hub designed to speed up the creation of advanced recycling technologies. The new facility, located about 30 kilometres from the port of Kandla in Gujarat, marks a major step in the company’s goal of becoming a global recycling solutions leader by 2030.

Spread across 12 acres, the new centre will focus on developing and testing recycling equipment such as shredders and granulators. The aim is simple but powerful, make machines more efficient, increase capacity, reduce downtime, and ultimately help industries manage waste more effectively.

One of the most exciting aspects of the facility is its ability to dramatically shorten innovation timelines. According to Fornnax Director and CEO Jignesh Kundaria, the centre allows engineers to design and test new technologies much faster than before.

“With this new facility, we now have the speed, flexibility, and controlled environment to design, test, and validate new technologies in just six to eight months, something that would take four to five years at a customer site,” said Kundaria.

The hub will also allow businesses to bring their own waste materials such as e-waste, cables, tyres, or lithium-ion batteries, to test how different machines perform before making investment decisions. This hands-on approach helps companies choose the right recycling solutions with greater confidence.

Alongside research, the facility will train engineers and operators to run recycling plants more efficiently. By combining research, testing, training, and customer collaboration in one place, Fornnax hopes to accelerate innovation and help industries worldwide move closer to a cleaner, more sustainable future.
