Indian start-up PolyCycl says its patent-pending Contiflow Cracker cracking technology uses a continuous process to convert waste plastics to diesel fuel. The company is working with the U.S. Department of Energy on an effort called “Clean Diesel,” which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles by replacing gasoline and diesel. His company, PolyCycl Pvt. Ltd, has demonstrated at its plant near Chandigarh that blendstock - material which can be used for making industrial diesel - can be extracted from plastic waste using a cost-effective technology it has developed. PolyCycl and joint venture partner Ramky plan to set up plastic-to-fuel projects in several Indian cities, starting with Hyderebad.
