Developing a Community Level-Offgrid Plastic Pyrolysis Units by Team Enviro – W11 – Students from Chennai

Project Highlights

Team Enviro W11, a students’ team from IIT Madras, Chennai chose water and waste management as their sector.

In India, 140,000 tonnes of waste is generated daily, in which only 29% is treated. >15,000 tonnes of plastic waste generated everyday, of which 6,000 tonnes remain uncollected & littered. Segregation of waste, insufficient land fill area, high operational costs and environmental impacts have caused failure of existing centralized waste treatment facilities.

 

Who is Behind this Project?

The team is led by Ms. Divyapriya G and the team members are

  • Divyapriya G
  • Sivagami Krishnasamy
  • Ramya Selvaraj
  • Aravind ES
