I noticed few people asking about equipment . Batch pyrolysis equipment is the most simplest one . You need Mild Steel or Stainless steel material of construction. Few weldings , few valves, if you dont have nitrogen or CO2 then use vacuum pump. Reactor, Condenser ( Heat Exchanger), Ball valves, few pipes, Receiving tank, Fire extinguisher and heat source can be gas fired or electricity fired or even you can use induction bands. Total cost if you do everything then you will end up spending something around Rs25000-50000 or £1000 or $500. Most of the items you can get from a metal scrap yard. Also please dont melt PVC , as it will emit dioxin which is cancerous as it has got chlorine which can react with oxygen .

Also, using less plastics is mostly a choice that must be made by corporations, brands, etc. For that, we need to demand plastic free packaging and recyclable plastic.

[@dragonshivu]

Yes, key lies in using less plastic, but until then we need to clean up the plastic waste that has been already created and that’ll be created in the near future, and this is one of the solutions.

[@sreeraamk]

Hahaha that's something next to impossible ... we cannot even think of it... atleast there should be responsible disposal of plastic with out littering we casually throw it away from buses and trains without caring how it's going to effect our environment..

[@tiffanyoutrageous19]

Well yes, but we shouldn't accept that as the only way to solve the problem. Even if we stop completely, something has to be done with the shit that's already out there

[@harshithas5024]

Great job team Rudra! Please bring this technology to all the big cities in India and eventually to the rest of the country too! We need people like you. We cannot wait for the government to act on this, they are lazy af and neither will any oil corporation assist with this solution to help the world. All they care about is money. Set up local funding, submit your ideas on international forums, win competition money, gain international funding and get this going on a larger scale! Best of luck to you!

Your work gives us, the entrepreneurs, an inspiration

[@rajeevvashishtha3688]

में अनपढ़ हूँ । मुझे अंग्रेजी समझ में नही आती , मेरी तरह शायद और भी लोग होंगे जिनको अंग्रेजी समझ नही आती होगी इसलिये आपसे विनम्र निवेदन है की आप अपने प्रोग्राम की वीडियो हिंदी भाषा में बनाया करे। ताकि अधिक से अधिक लोग प्रकृति के बारे में जान सके । धन्यवाद

@Grand-mother aap shashi tharoor ho kya ?

[@harshadanaik6394]

This hard work needs basic support from the giants and then it can flourish and sustain the environment..., the concept of creating polyfuel from plastic is very FANTASTIC!!! I would really love to work with SIR AND MA'AM

[@saibabagarden]

We need such similar recycling plant here in Gokarna, Karnataka. Coastal area is full of plastic waste. Dry rivers in town are filled with discarded plastic too. May be, here we have hundreds of thousands of US- dollars in plastic waste in one small town!

[@abhijeetugalmogle9279]

Sir, I want to know & learn all technical aspects of this plant. Right from design to installation. Have any contact details

[@Ruhaani_garg]

Wow finally some hope ♥️

[@2cr8gdtimes]

Lots of hope if you broadcast it thru every social media channel at your disposal. I'm doing just that.

[@prashantdalvi9410]

Such recycling plant should be placed in every city and village of India so we can have clean and beautiful environment . This should be government prior responsibility to start such project everywhere in India

[@dhanveersingh1698]

Government should support this and should establish there own plants in every district.
