The corporation plans to set up a manufacturing unit in the heritage city to turn plastic into crude oil; with the spin-offs being diesel, kerosene, wax and even a small quantity of perfume. And when this happens, Mysore will be the first city in the State to have a recycling system for plastic waste.
The project is proposed to be set up at Vidyaranyapuram on a three-acre plot and on a 30-year lease. It will be established on private-public partnership, with zero investment from the MCC.
It will use a technological process called polymer energy system. The process may offer a long-term solution to the problem of the disposal of municipal solid waste in cities.
Urban planners see it as one of the three prongs of waste-disposal method; the other two being conversion of biodegradable waste such as kitchen and vegetable waste into compost and the non-biodegradable waste used in landfills.
Segregated plastic waste will be collected from areas in sealed containers and be brought to the site for further processing. Mysore, which generates about 20-22 tonnes of plastic everyday, plans to start with processing 10 tonnes at initial stages and increase further to achieve full recycling of plastic waste everyday.
