Nashik Waste Management Inaugurates New Plastic to Fuel Plant

Nashik Waste Management (NWM) today inaugurated a new Plastic to Fuel plant and Ballistic separator (segregation facility) at the Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) headquarters. The plant, which has a capacity to process 5 tons of plastic waste per day, was inaugurated by Dr. Chandrakant Pulkundwar, Commissioner of the NMC.

The plant will use a process called pyrolysis to convert plastic waste into fuel oil. Pyrolysis is a thermal decomposition process that breaks down organic materials into their constituent elements, including oil, gas, and char. The oil produced by the plant can be used as a substitute for diesel fuel, while the gas and char can be used for other purposes, such as generating electricity or producing fertilizer.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by several dignitaries and officials, including Dr. Pulkundwar, NWM Chairman Shri. Vijay Wagh, and NWM Managing Director Shri. Sanjay More. In his speech, Dr. Pulkundwar congratulated NWM on the successful completion of the project and expressed his hope that the plant would help to reduce the city's reliance on fossil fuels and promote a cleaner and greener environment.

NWM Director Col. Suresh Rege (Retd.) was also present at the inauguration ceremony. Col. Rege is a leading expert on waste management and has served as a consultant to several organizations, including the World Bank and the United Nations. In his address, Col. Rege spoke about the importance of sustainable waste management and highlighted the role of NWM in leading the way in this area.

The inauguration of the new Plastic to Fuel plant is a significant milestone for NWM and a major step forward in the city's efforts to achieve a sustainable future. NWM is committed to continuing to work with the NMC and other stakeholders to promote sustainable waste management practices in Nashik and beyond.
