Plant to generate burning fuel from Plastic at Indore

Indore (Madhya Pradesh) [India], Jan 30 (ANI): Indore has converted its garbage landfill site into a garden with a composite plan of waste management through which the garbage is used to generate both fuel and manure.
It strives to become a “zero landfill” and “garbage-free” city with eco-friendly disposal of garbage through the use of modern technology that includes a plant for conversion of plastic waste into burning fuel.
Indore Municipal Commissioner Ashish Singh said it all starts with segregating waste into wet and dry garbage at the source (household) itself. Thereafter, the garbage collected from all over the city is first taken to 10 nodal points for from where it is sent to the trenching ground. Further segregation of dry waste takes place at this ground.
The garbage- both dry and wet - are used for making different products so as to generate revenue. The Indore Municipal Corporation with the help of an environmental consultancy named “Eco-pro Environmental Services” helps generate manure, interlocking tiles, diesel, petrol and gas from the garbage.
“Both recyclable and non-recyclable plastic is used in this plant for making the burning fuel that is used in generators,” said Sudhir, the Diesel Plant Operator.
He also revealed that 50 percent of the non-recyclable plastic is converted into burning fuel, which, after further filtration, gives diesel, petrol, and gas.  (ANI)
