Advanced Material Science

(Campaign Initiative)

This campaign focuses on transforming plastic waste into high-performance construction and industrial materials through irradiation-based polymer modification. By upgrading low-value plastic waste into durable products such as plastic bricks and composite materials, the initiative promotes circular economy solutions, reduces environmental pollution, and supports sustainable industrial development.

Campaign Activities & Costing

Campaign Timeline: 3 Years

Activities Completed

  • Developed concept for plastic waste upcycling using irradiation technology.
  • Studied international case applications (irradiation-based polymer modification).
  • Identified industrial use cases: plastic bricks and composite construction materials.
  • Completed initial stakeholder mapping (industry + policy + technical).

Upcoming Activities

  • Feasibility study on plastic waste availability and processing pathways.
  • Pilot testing of irradiation-based plastic modification.
  • Engagement with plastic manufacturers and construction companies.
  • Collaboration with international research and technology partners.
  • Certification and standardization discussions (BSTI, regulators).
  • Development of pilot production unit (plastic bricks).
