A Seminar Presentation
What is Plastic Waste ?
• Plastics are synthetic polymers derived
from petro fossil feedstock and made-up
of long chain hydrocarbons with additives.
• When after use plastic in any form is
littered or disposed in wrong manner it
becomes a major source of pollution in the
environment and this untreated bulk mass
is termed as plastic waste.
• For e.g., Polyethylene bags littered on land
causes land pollution as PE takes a very
long span of time to degrade and due to
this land pollutes leading to infertility of
land.
• The waste quantities increased from 46
million tones in 2001 to 65 million tones in
2010. Report says that per capita per day
production will increase to 0.7 kg in 2050.

Darks due to plastic waste
• Today wrong treatment of plastic
disposal has made it one of the biggest
source of pollution on the earth.
• Indiscriminate plastic waste disposal on
land and in water bodies makes the land
infertile due to its impervious nature and
severely pollutes the water bodies.
• Burning of plastics generates toxic
emissions such as Carbon Monoxide,
Chlorine, Hydrochloric Acid, Dioxin,
Furans, Amines, Nitrides, Styrene,
Benzene, 1, 3- butadiene, CCl4, and
Acetaldehyde.
• The concern has become so serious that
several state governing authorities are
banning use of plastic in different ways.
Darks due to plastic waste
Nasa has created a visualisation of this pollution highlighting the extend to
which humanity is ruining the oceans with waste.
Plastic Waste Management
The conventional way…
 Landfilling
Landfill is the conventional approach to
waste management, but space for landfills
is becoming scarce in some countries.
 Incineration
Incineration reduces the need for landfill
of plastics waste, however, there are
concerns that hazardous substances may
be released into the atmosphere in the
process.
 Recycling of plastics through
environmentally sound manner.
 Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
The modern way….
 Plasma Pyrolysis Technology (PPT)
• Pyrolysis is the thermal disintegration of
carbonaceous material in oxygen-starved
atmosphere.
• The intense and versatile heat generation
capabilities of Plasma Pyrolysis
technology enable it to dispose of all types
of plastic waste including polymeric,
biomedical and hazardous waste in a safe
and reliable manner.
 Conversion of Plastics Waste into liquid
fuel
• Waste plastics while heating up to 2700 to
3000 C convert into liquid-vapour state,
which is collected in condensation
chamber in the form of liquid fuel.
The modern way….
 Conversion of Plastics Waste
into liquid fuel
• Waste plastics while heating
up to 2700 to 3000 C convert
into liquid-vapour state,
which is collected in
condensation chamber in the
form of liquid fuel.
 Bio degradable plastics
• Manufacture of plastics
that are eco-friendly. They
have a decomposing
nature.
The modern way….
Innovations
 Plastic Roads
• A Government order in November 2015
has made it mandatory for all road
developers in the country to use waste
plastic, along with bituminous mixes,
for road construction.
• The technology for this was developed
by the ‘Plastic Man’ of India, Prof
Rajagopalan Vasudevan, Professor of
Chemistry at Thiagarajar College of
Engineering, Madurai.
• The plastic waste items that can be
used for road construction are various
items like plastic carry bags, plastic
cups, plastic packaging for potato
chips, biscuits, chocolates, etc.
Innovations
 Plastic Roads
• The plastic waste material is first
shredded to a particular size using a
shredding machine. The aggregate
mix is heated at 165°c and transferred
to the mixing chamber, and the
bitumen is heated to 160°c to result in
good binding.
• The shredded plastic waste is then
added to the aggregate. It gets
coated uniformly over the aggregate
within 30 to 60 seconds, giving an
oily look. The plastic waste coated
aggregate is mixed with hot bitumen
and the resulting mix is used for road
construction. The road laying
temperature is between 110°c to
120°c. The roller used has a capacity
of 8 tons.
Innovations
Fuel X Plastic
• The technology can convert plastic
into high-grade gasoline and diesel
with nil sulphur quantity, LPG being
produced as a by-product during the
process. Lesser emissions and a lot
cheaper, the new fuel could in fact
answer all our urban energy woes as
fossil fuels step closer towards
depletion.
• This tremendous innovative idea
was first ignited to Researchers at
Indian Institute of Petroleum ,
Dehradun.
• The idea is in still development
stage.
Innovations
Packaging Inspired by Nature
The University of Pittsburgh team applies
Nano-engineering to create a recyclable
material that can replace complex multi-
layered packaging that is unrecyclable. This
mimics the way nature uses just a few
molecular building blocks to create a huge
variety of materials.
Recyclable packaging, with help
from magnets
Aronax Technologies Spain proposes a
magnetic additive that can be applied to a
material, creating better air and moisture
insulation — making it suitable to protect
sensitive products such as coffee and
medical products, while still being possible
to recycle.
Innovations
Packaging from food waste
Working together, Full Cycle Bioplastics, Elk
Packaging and Associated Labels and
Packaging make a compostable high-
performance material from renewable
materials, agricultural by-products and food
waste to pack a broad range of products
from granola bars and crisps to laundry
detergent.
'Plastic' made from wood
The VTT Technical Research Centre of
Finland has created a compostable multi-
layer material from agricultural and forestry
by-products, which could be used for stand-
up food pouches for products such as
muesli, nuts, dried fruit and rice.
Full Cycle Bioplastics, Elk Packaging and
Associated Labels and Packaging are
collaborating on a compostable, high-performance
material.
Innovations
 How plastic-eating bacteria actually work?
• Scientists recently discovered a strain of bacteria
that can literally eat the plastic used to make
bottles, and have now improved it to make it work
faster. The effects are modest – it’s not a complete
solution to plastic pollution – but it does show how
bacteria could help create more environmentally
friendly recycling.
• Ideonella sakaiensis 201-F6 could digest the plastic
used to make single-use drinks bottles,
polyethylene terephthalate (PET). It works by
secreting an enzyme (a type of protein that can
speed up chemical reactions) known as PETase.
This splits certain chemical bonds (esters) in PET,
leaving smaller molecules that the bacteria can
absorb, using the carbon in them as a food source.
• A community of Ideonella sakaiensis working in a
specific way could break down a thin film of PET
over the course of six weeks if the temperature were
held at a steady 86 degrees Fahrenheit.

Innovations Packaging from food waste Working together, Full Cycle Bioplastics, Elk Packaging and Associated Labels and Packaging make a compostable high- performance material from renewable materials, agricultural by-products and food waste to pack a broad range of products from granola bars and crisps to laundry detergent. 'Plastic' made from wood The VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has created a compostable multi- layer material from agricultural and forestry by-products, which could be used for stand- up food pouches for products such as muesli, nuts, dried fruit and rice. Full Cycle Bioplastics, Elk Packaging and Associated Labels and Packaging are collaborating on a compostable, high-performance material.

Innovations  How plastic-eating bacteria actually work? • Scientists recently discovered a strain of bacteria that can literally eat the plastic used to make bottles, and have now improved it to make it work faster. The effects are modest – it’s not a complete solution to plastic pollution – but it does show how bacteria could help create more environmentally friendly recycling. • Ideonella sakaiensis 201-F6 could digest the plastic used to make single-use drinks bottles, polyethylene terephthalate (PET). It works by secreting an enzyme (a type of protein that can speed up chemical reactions) known as PETase. This splits certain chemical bonds (esters) in PET, leaving smaller molecules that the bacteria can absorb, using the carbon in them as a food source. • A community of Ideonella sakaiensis working in a specific way could break down a thin film of PET over the course of six weeks if the temperature were held at a steady 86 degrees Fahrenheit.
