Waste to Energy

  • The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has initiated a pilot project to make liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) from plastic waste, but it is facing problems due to non-cooperation among relevant departments.
  • Sharing details about the plan, Saad said four or five plants will be installed at various sites in Peshawar. He said that initially gas will be produced from one ton plastic waste on experimental basis at each plant and then the quantity of waste will be increased to two tons and then three tons. ‘With five plants, we can convert 10 to 15 tons waste into gas on daily basis,’ he said.
