Five Elements Environmental Technologies: Transforming Waste Management Through Sustainable Innovation

The proprietary continuous plastic-to-oil processing technology of the company is efficient, scalable, and intended to manage the environ­mental risks of the traditional batch-type pyrolysis systems.

Unlike conventional batch sys­tems that require repeated heating and cooling, FEET’s technology is a fully continuous process that can run uninterrupted for six to seven months, significantly reducing ener­gy use while enhancing operational safety. The technology integrates de­halogenation and distillation within the process, enabling efficient pro­cessing of mixed plastic waste and offering a much higher PVC toler­ance up to 3 percent, compared to less than 0.5 percent in most global systems.

A defining advantage of FEET’s process is the complete absence of waxy byproducts. The only byprod­uct generated is a small quantity of non-hazardous carbon residue, mak­ing the operation cleaner and easier to manage. This design ensures high-quality output, superior oil yields, and a safer, more sustainable pro­duction environment overall.

Also to note, the services of the company revolve around automa­tion and digital intelligence. The company incorporates PLC- and SCADA-based monitoring systems, allowing real-time control of tem­perature, pressure, and flow pa­rameters. This ensures consistency, safety, and operational excellence. Furthermore, FEET’s every plant has several built-in safety interlocks, alarm management, and energy re­covery systems, which demonstrate the dedication of the company to ef­ficiency and reliability.

As CFO, Mithilesh Gupta explains, “Our technology is not just about converting waste into fuel, it’s about converting a problem into an opportunity for a cleaner, more self-reliant India”.

Pioneering a Cleaner Future Through Innovation

FEET has a promising vision of steering an innovative, sustainable, and circular economy future. The company is steadfast in its mission to transform the way waste is handled and energy is generated in India and throughout the world with its patented continuous process. Within the next ten years, the company intends to grow by aggressively expanding in the Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and African markets. Markets that have high sources of plastic waste and have a high interest in the sustainability regulations.

Adding to this, the company aims to recycle more than 1 million tons of plastic waste annually by setting up decentralized plants, which will help to reduce 1.8 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually. The vision of the company coincides with the national missions of India, including Swachh Bharat, Atmanirbhar Bharat, and the national commitment to Net Zero Emissions. Through its patented technology and sustainable model, the company is setting new benchmarks in the waste-to-energy sector, empowering communities, and supporting India’s journey toward a zero-waste, low-carbon future.
