Guntur leads in producing synthetic fuel from plastic waste
After grappling with heaps of solid waste for years, the Guntur Municipal Corporation has come up with an indigenous Plastic Waste to Synthetic Fuel Plant. Plastic and industrial waste is converted into synthetic petrol, diesel and kerosene at the plant located in KVP Colony.
The GMC is probably the first urban local body in the country to set up such a plant in full conformity with the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016. The plant has been in operation for four months now. Needa Green Energy is handling the annual maintenance contract of the plant.
