Startup’s Objective

The startup focusses on exploring technology that can help recycle non-degradable waste, particularly the plastic wastes.

Market Need

Plastic has posed a global problem today. In Assam, while we consume a huge number of plastic per day, only 30%-40% of plastics are recycled. The remaining are dumped in land field or burnt which endangers the enviournment. Need of the hour is to find a way for effective plastic recycling. Furthermore, given the gradual exhaustion of the crude oil reserve in the world, we must urgently find an alternative source of fuel oil.

Product/Service description

The startup has developed a technology to produce fuel oils like gasoline, diesel, and kerosene, and inflammable gas from plastic waste. The plastic residue left from the process turn into black carbon that has a huge demand in the paint industry, cement industry, tyer manufacturing industry etc. With the help of their technology, the startup is able to produce 60%-80% of petroleum fuel, 25%-30% of carbon black and 3%-7% percent of flamable gas out of one kilogram of plastic waste.
