MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202531100245 A) filed by Guru Nanak Institute Of Technology, Kolkata, West Bengal, on Oct. 16, 2025, for 'waste-to-watts conversion system for power generation from non-biodegradable plastics.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Nabaneeta Banerjee; Dr. Somdatta Paul; Ms. Palasri Dhar; Mr. Biswajit Chaki Choudhury; Sanya Ray; Rajnandini Paul; and Swaraj Dhara.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure discloses a system and method for converting plastic waste into usable electrical energy through an integrated waste-to-energy apparatus. The disclosure comprises a feedstock preparation unit, a thermochemical reactor for pyrolysis and gasification, a catalytic cracking module for hydrocarbon reforming, a syngas conditioning system, and a power generation subsystem operatively connected to an electrical output interface. The apparatus transforms non-biodegradable plastics into syngas, which is subsequently used to generate electricity via gas turbines, internal combustion engines, or fuel cells. The system incorporates emission control, modularity, and intelligent monitoring to ensure sustainable operation. The disclosure offers a novel and eco-efficient solution to both plastic waste management and renewable electricity generation."
