Review Meeting with Dr. J.B.Joshi and Mr. Anil Kelker on date 11/6/2020.

After a design and experiment on 2 lit hot water bath and 2.5 lit steam based plastic densifier we move towards 50 lit volume capacity plastic belling machine on basis of energy calculations. In discussion I present a economic model of logistics required for waste plastic taking, a reference of Bhor Municipal Corporation data.

Problem Statement:

Transportation of waste plastic is so much difficult and contain more space in the van. To transport waste plastic from the source to the processing centre, it is not profitable. If it contains more plastics in minimum space then it became profitable.

Objective:

  • Single use (Non Recyclable) plastic waste compaction for reducing a cost of logistics and efforts of rag pickers.
