Mumbai based Sustainable Technologies & Environmental Projects (STEPS) has set up a plant to convert plastic waste into light diesel, calorific value combustible gas and carbon pellets. The company has also succeeded in generating diesel from algae. The light diesel oil can be used to run a diesel electric generator and can be further purified into petrol, kerosene, diesel and even aviation turbine fuel. The company is in talks with municipal bodies at Pimpri-Chinchwad, Visakhapatnam, Satara, Kolhapur, Ulhasnagar and Kalyan-Dombivili to convert municipal sewerage waste into value-added products.
