Meet Faizur Rahman. This 47-year old man from Tripura’s Dhalai district claims to have devised a working prototype for recycling single-use plastic waste into natural gas and a hydrocarbon compound, which can be used as locomotive fuel. Many videos are available on social media where detailed advisories for making similar contraptions are available. Similar efforts were earlier made in Nagaland in 2017, at Hyderabad and in neighbouring Bangladesh. But Faizur claims his ingenuity is not inspired by them.
However, the officers say that the outcome in these experiments is hydrocarbon but it has a heavy presence of impurities. Besides, India is moving towards a zero fossil fuel target. Re-creating a fossil fuel from another fossil fuel-product (plastic) is not right. Besides, there is a huge risk of environmental pollution here.
