Technology
The innovation converts plastic waste into fuel through pyrolysis, offering an eco-friendly disposal
option and an alternative fuel source. The portable models process 0.5-1 kg plastics, while stationary
machines can handle 7-10 kg. White polythene yields 600-700 ml fuel per kg, plastic containers 500-600
ml, and water bottles 300-400 ml.
Societal Impact
The innovator has used the fuel in his jeep, and in place of petrol in engines, generators, grass cutters
and motorbikes. There is an emerging market, with demand from various individuals and states for
pollution-controlling innovations.
Current status
One machine has been installed in Ziro Arunachal, and other orders are being fulfilled. He is an incubatee under the community-led landscape management project undertaken by the Basin Development Authority.
