Circular economy (CE) and waste management:

In this area, we identify the scope and opportunity for CE in the existing manufacturing processes that generate huge amounts of waste, and work on technologies to valorise the waste and possibly recycle. For example, we have developed and patented a technology to mechanically and chemically reclaiming waste foundry sand and recycle it back to the foundry thereby reducing dumping and mining. In another project, we have developed gasifier for high ash garden/agri/forest waste to be used for thermal applications.
