CIECO SustainTech Solutions Pvt. Ltd. clinches double wins at Asian Waste Management Awards 2024

The company utilises a patented waste conversion technology designed to address the global challenge of municipal solid waste management.

CIECO SustainTech Solutions Pvt. Ltd. was recognised for its innovative approach to waste management, bringing home accolades in the Waste Management Excellence of the Year - India and Waste Management Technology of the Year - India categories at the Asian Waste Management Awards 2024.

The company pioneered an innovative waste conversion technology that effectively converts unsegregated municipal solid waste into valuable thermoplastic pellets, ensuring that no residual waste is produced and eliminating the need for landfills.

Waste conversion process

The process begins with the collection of unsegregated municipal solid waste, which is then processed using the company’s advanced technology that incorporates both mechanical and chemical treatments. This multi-stage process breaks down the waste materials and transforms them into thermoplastic pellets, which address waste management challenges in a sustainable manner.
One of the most notable achievements of this technology is the complete elimination of residual waste. With the goal of having no by-products sent to landfills, this technology represents a revolutionary step towards sustainable waste management.

The quality of the end product is another significant accomplishment. The thermoplastic pellets produced are of high quality and suitable for various applications, including packaging, construction, and manufacturing. This transformation of waste into valuable resources fosters a circular economy, where waste is repurposed into useful materials.

Another substantial accomplishment is the technology’s environmental impact. The conversion of waste into usable materials significantly reduces the environmental footprint of waste management. This process mitigates greenhouse gas emissions typically associated with landfills and decreases the need for virgin plastic production, thereby conserving natural resources.

Economically, this innovative technology generates considerable value by creating new market opportunities for thermoplastic pellets. It further reduces the costs associated with waste disposal and landfill management for municipalities, contributing to financial and operational efficiency.

A vision for a Zero Waste World

CIECO designed this technology with scalability and adaptability in mind, making it suitable for various sizes of waste management facilities across diverse urban and rural settings. Its flexibility allows it to be deployed in different regions, making it a versatile solution to global waste management challenges.

CIECO envisions a future where its technology plays a key role in building a Zero Waste World, where waste is no longer a burden but a valuable resource. By turning municipal solid waste into high-quality thermoplastic materials, CIECO is driving the nation towards a sustainable, circular economy with zero landfill reliance.

Recognition and partnerships

CIECO has garnered recognition from environmental bodies and industry experts for its innovative approach. Moreover, the company has formed partnerships with local governments and international organisations to promote the adoption of its technology. 
Other key achievements of the technology include its Indian patent that is published, with the global patent still in the process; its reduced greenhouse gas emissions; generated plastic and carbon credits; and qualification for Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) benefits. 

CIECO SustainTech Solutions' waste conversion technology represents a significant advancement in waste management that addresses a critical environmental issue, creates economic opportunities, and promotes sustainable development. This technology exemplifies the potential of technology to drive positive environmental change and foster a circular economy.
