About This Project
Overview, mission & core vision
PlasticEater is a compact, fully automated plastic waste processing machine designed for apartment complexes, corporate offices, hotels and institutions — automatically identifying, sorting, shredding and compressing mixed plastic waste into high-value recycled pellets that scrap dealers and recycling companies buy back directly.
�� Problem
India generates 35,000 tonnes of plastic waste every day — 90% goes to landfills or open burning because sorting is manual, expensive and unreliable. Apartment complexes pay Rs.8,000–Rs.20,000/month for waste collection with zero return on recyclable plastic worth Rs.25–Rs.80 per kg
�� Solution
PlasticEater automates the entire plastic waste chain at source — AI vision sorts by type (PET, HDPE, PP, PVC, LDPE), industrial shredder reduces volume by 85%, and hydraulic press outputs market-ready pellet bricks that scrap dealers collect and pay for
�� Market
Rs.1,60,000 Cr Indian plastic waste management market + $8.4B global plastic recycling equipment market growing at 11.2% CAGR by 2030
�� Traction
85 pilot units deployed across RWAs in Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Mumbai — average Rs.6,200/month earned per unit from scrap dealer buybacks, with 320 kg plastic diverted from landfill monthly per machine
�� Revenue Model
Rs.1,85,000 unit sale + Rs.2,400/year maintenance subscription + Rs.500/tonne platform fee on scrap dealer transactions facilitated through PlasticEater app
�� Use of Funds
40% manufacturing scale-up and conveyor automation, 30% AI vision system accuracy improvement, 20% scrap dealer network expansion across 50 cities, 10% RWA partnerships and awareness campaigns
Features
Core capabilities & functionalities
✓
AI Plastic Type Recognition
Integrated hyperspectral camera and NIR sensor identifies plastic resin type — PET, HDPE, PP, PVC, LDPE and PS — with 97% accuracy at 2 kg/minute throughput. Automatically rejects non-plastic materials like metal, glass and food waste before shredding
✓
Industrial Dual-Shaft Shredder
Hardened steel dual-shaft shredder reduces mixed plastic volume by 85% — processing bottles, bags, containers, wrappers and packaging into uniform 8mm shreds in under 3 minutes per batch without manual sorting or pre-cleaning
✓
Hydraulic Pellet Press
Shredded plastic is heated to material-specific melting point and pressed through a die into standardised 10mm cylindrical pellets — output accepted directly by recycling companies and plastic manufacturers at Rs.25–Rs.80 per kg depending on type
✓
Scrap Dealer Marketplace App
PlasticEater app connects each machine to a network of 1,200+ verified scrap dealers and recycling companies — automatic pickup scheduling when pellet storage reaches capacity, with digital weight recording and direct bank transfer payment
✓
Real-Time Processing Dashboard
Touchscreen panel and mobile app show live processing stats — kg processed today, pellets produced, revenue earned this month, plastic types processed and CO2 emission saved — reportable for ESG compliance and green building certification
✓
Safety Auto-Shutoff System
Vibration sensors detect jams, thermal sensors monitor motor temperature and infrared barrier stops shredder instantly if hands approach the feed zone — CE and BIS safety certified for unmanned operation in residential and office premises
Key Advantages
Why this project stands out
💰
Earns Rs.6,200/Month from Waste
Pilot RWAs across Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Mumbai earn average Rs.6,200/month from scrap dealer pellet buybacks — PlasticEater pays back its full cost within 2.5 years purely from plastic revenue, then generates pure profit indefinitely
🤖
Zero Manual Sorting Required
97% accurate AI vision identifies and sorts plastic types automatically — no trained staff needed, no manual separation of bottles from bags from wrappers. One person loads the hopper, machine does everything else
♻️
320 kg Plastic Diverted Monthly
Each unit processes 320 kg of plastic per month that would otherwise go to landfill or illegal burning — equivalent to 16,000 plastic bottles or 64,000 plastic bags diverted from environment every single month
🏢
Fits in Any Utility Room
1.2m x 0.8m footprint fits in any apartment complex utility room, office pantry corridor or hotel loading dock — no civil construction, no special electrical connection beyond standard 3-phase 15A supply needed
📊
ESG & Green Building Credits
Monthly PlasticEater sustainability reports accepted for IGBC Green Building certification, BRSR corporate ESG disclosure and Swachh Bharat Mission compliance — direct regulatory and reputational value for corporates and RWAs
🔧
Remote Diagnostics & Auto-Service
IoT system monitors motor health, blade wear and jam frequency remotely — predictive maintenance alerts dispatched to nearest service engineer before breakdown occurs, with 98.2% uptime across pilot fleet
How It Works
Step-by-step process & workflow
01
Installation & Setup
PlasticEater team installs the unit in your utility room or waste collection area — 3-phase power connection, ventilation duct fitting and app onboarding completed in one day. Zero civil work or structural modification needed
02
Load Mixed Plastic Waste
Residents or housekeeping staff deposit mixed plastic waste into the top hopper — bottles, bags, containers, wrappers and packaging all accepted together. No pre-sorting, rinsing or flattening required from residents
03
AI Sorts Automatically
NIR camera scans each item as it moves along the internal conveyor, identifies plastic resin type, and routes it to the correct shredding chamber — non-plastic items rejected to a separate bin with an alert tone
04
Shred & Pelletise
Dual-shaft shredder reduces sorted plastic to 8mm shreds in minutes — shreds are heated and pressed into uniform 10mm pellets by the hydraulic press and collected in the output storage drawer below
05
Scrap Dealer Pickup
When pellet storage reaches 80% capacity, PlasticEater app automatically notifies the nearest verified scrap dealer — dealer arrives within 24 hours, weighs output on calibrated scale and transfers payment directly to RWA bank account
06
Track Revenue & Impact
Monthly dashboard report shows total plastic processed, pellet revenue earned, CO2 saved and ESG metrics — downloadable PDF for green building certification submission or corporate sustainability reporting

Tech stack & innovation
👁️
NIR Hyperspectral Vision System
Near-infrared hyperspectral camera operating at 900–1700nm wavelength identifies plastic resin type from molecular absorption signatures — distinguishes PET, HDPE, PP, PVC, LDPE and PS with 97% accuracy at 2 kg/minute belt speed
⚙️
Hardened Steel Dual-Shaft Shredder
Counter-rotating dual shafts with D2 tool steel interlocking blades rated for 500 kg/hour throughput — self-cleaning comb mechanism prevents wrapping of plastic films and bags that jam single-shaft systems
🔥
Type-Specific Melt Extrusion Press
PID-controlled barrel heater adjusts to optimal melt temperature per plastic type — PET at 260°C, HDPE at 180°C, PP at 200°C — ensuring consistent pellet density and market-acceptable quality for each resin output
📡
IoT Fleet Management System
ESP32 industrial controller monitors 24 sensor points — motor current, blade temperature, jam detection, pellet weight and bin levels — streaming data to PlasticEater cloud for fleet management, predictive maintenance and usage billing
📱
PlasticEater Marketplace Platform
B2B2C app connecting 1,200+ verified scrap dealers with PlasticEater units across 12 cities — automated pickup scheduling, digital weight certificates, GST invoicing and UPI payment settlement within 24 hours of pickup
🛡️
Multi-Layer Safety Architecture
Infrared hand-detection barrier, thermal runaway prevention, automatic jam-reversal, and emergency stop button — all safety systems certified to CE Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and BIS IS 15671 industrial shredder safety standard
