What if we leverage this 700 metric tonnes of plastic waste?

The idea is to leverage this amount of plastic waste and convert it into
fuel and at the same time generate employment.

How Do We Do This?

We use pyrolysis to convert the waste into fuel

The pyrolysis plant essentially breaks down plastic


waste into molecular level through an anaerobic
heating process. This further converts into poly-
fuel, jet fuel, diesel, and heavy oil.

The idea is to leverage the power of youth within these pockets of Mumbai and make them a
stakeholder in Parivartan. They would be employed to plog the plastic waste out of the beaches
of Mumbai and transport it to the pyrolysis plant setup under a public-private partnership.
