Promoting Sustainable Technology and Circular Economy in India
Key Ideas
  • Technology Development Board signed agreements for production of circular plastics and sustainable chemicals.
  • CSIR developed technologies for converting plastic waste to diesel, tiles, green plasticizers, and hydrogen.
  • Government initiatives include setting up of Material Recovery Facilities, promoting biofuel production, and enforcing Plastic Waste Management Rules.
  • Efforts aim to establish a self-reliant circular economy, reduce crude oil imports, and generate employment.
The Technology Development Board (TDB) and Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) in India have been actively promoting sustainable technology and circular economy initiatives. TDB signed an agreement with M/s APChemi Private Limited for the production of purified pyrolysis oil to enable downstream production of circular plastics and sustainable chemicals. CSIR has developed technologies, such as converting plastic waste to diesel, tiles, green plasticizers, and hydrogen, in collaboration with various companies. The government has undertaken various steps, including setting up Material Recovery Facilities nationwide, scaling up biofuel production, and enforcing Plastic Waste Management Rules to minimize waste generation and reduce energy consumption. These efforts aim to establish a self-reliant circular economy, reduce dependence on imported crude oil, and generate employment. Dr. Jitendra Singh highlighted these initiatives in a written reply in Rajya Sabha, emphasizing the importance of indigenous technological advancements and sustainability in India's development.
