Plastic waste to petrol

A pilot project has been launched to convert petrol from plastic waste in Sri Lanka. The success of this kind of projects will depend on the commercial viability. However, this would be an ideal solution for the plastic waste problem which creates immense damages to the environment. Therefore, the technology needs to be further improved and managed to make it viable.

According to the adaderana.lk, this is the world’s first pilot project to convert plastic waste to petrol and the technology has been innovated by Prof. Mrs. Alka U. Zadgaonkar. ‘Sinhale Hot News’ reports the inventor as a Sri Lankan called Mr. Withanage. Successfulness of the project is a different story, but if the person behind this is a Sri Lankan, he should be respected.
