Angirus India Pvt Ltd
Location:
Udaipur, Rajasthan
Problem:
India is the world’s 3rd largest waste generator of which majorly is contributed by Plastic waste and construction & demolition (C&D) waste. Annually, India generates around 14.3 million tons of plastic waste & 200 million tons of C&D waste. This waste causes floods by clogging drains, causing respiratory issues when burned, shortening animal lifespans when consumed, and contaminating water bodies when dumped into canals and oceans. Even when plastic waste is collected, many countries lack the capacity to process and recycle the waste.
Solution:
Currently, at the pilot stage, Angirus is awaiting for initial funding to kickstart the production. The prototype machine can produce 5 bricks a day.
Scalability and Impact:
Angirus has developed an eco-friendly and sustainable technology to make bricks using major waste generated in the country. The innovative technology combines Plastic waste and other Municipal waste synergistically to make lightweight and waterproof bricks with zero carbon footprint.
