The Kalyan Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) in Thane district has applied to the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB), seeking its nod to implement a project of producing fuel from plastic waste.
The civic body said the move comes after it successfully produced 85 litres of fuel from plastic waste on Tuesday as part of a trial.
The plastic waste-to-fuel trial project was carried out at Barave in Kalyan, the KDMC said in a statement on Wednesday.
Following the success of the trial, the civic body has applied to the MPCB for permission to produce fuel from such waste, it said.
