Pyrolysis plant
Pyrolysis is the thermal decomposition of materials at elevated temperatures in an inert atmosphere. It involves a change of chemical composition.
1 Pyrolysis plant – Can convert 21,900 Tons of plastics per annum into usable oil.
3 – 5 Plants can half the current plastic problem and take the problem of the government hands. Freeing up more 300 acres of dump yard right now.
98% of the carbon emissions coming out of this process is trapped and used leading to enregy loss and safe environmental upliftment.

Where can we add value?
- Aerial Survey of Dump Yards – For volumetric availability – 95% accuracy of weightage in all TN dumpyards. Providing key info for swift decision making.
- Remediation of landfills. Segregate, Recycle, Upcycle, Ethically Dispose and reclaim
- Conversion of non-bio degradable plastic waste into petroleum products
- Open the landfills into ethical disposing thus plugging it into the carbon economy and bringing accountability and good will.
Waste - TN Perspective
Current waste management process in Tamilnadu is given below with steps :
Waste is collected from source.
Segregated / Un Segregated waste is collected.
Unorganised segregation happens at various levels.
Segregated waste is used in various levels of upcycles and recycles process in an un-organised fashion.
Almost 90% of the remainder waste ends up in landfills which includes plastics and non degradeable materials.
Waste - The Human Impact
The world produces more than 400 million tons of plastic every year, 79% is thrown in landfills, dumps or the environment, 12% is incinerated and only 9% recycled. In fact, 32% of packaging waste, estimated at 130 million tonnes in 2020, leaked into the environment and just about every ecosystem in our planet, including at least 83% of all our water, tap or bottled. There is more than 150 million tons of plastic in our oceans, killing millions of marine birds and creatures each year. It would cost $13B per year to clean up this mess, which if left unattended, will lead to more plastic than fish in our oceans.
