The plant will eliminate five metric tonnes of plastic every day from the city, including non-valuable plastic of less than 50-micron thickness such as carry bags or packing material.

The plant has a capacity to convert one tonne of plastic waste into 150-200 litres of diesel.

AGRA: India's first plastic to diesel conversation plant in Mathura, which was recently inaugurated by MP Hema Malini, is likely to become operational from October 11. Confirming this, assistant city commissioner, Mathura, AK Singh, said though the plant is ready, some paper work remains to be completed by the pollution control board. He said the plant should probably be functional from Friday.

The plant will eliminate five metric tonnes of plastic every day from the city, including non-valuable plastic of less than 50 micron thickness such as carry bags or packing material, said AK Singh. He said, “A total 220 metric tonnes of waste is collected door to door by the municipal corporation per day. Of this, 35 per cent is dry waste and out of this about five metric tonnes of plastic will be available for conversion into diesel.”
