Andhra Chamber of Commerce (ACC) will organise a seminar on plastic recycling and waste management with a focus on converting plastic waste into plastic oil, said ACC Vijayawada chapter chairman M. Rajaiah.
Addressing a press conference here on Sunday, he said that in the current scenario of increased plastic waste generation and lack of proper plastic waste disposal methods and facilities, the Chamber was focused on creating awareness among public and industries.
Mr. Rajaiah said that the Chamber was going to organise a seminar in which Vidya Amarnath, director of Paterson Energy, Chennai, would introduce the concept of plastic pyrolysis with which plastic waste could be converted into diesel equivalent fuel.
