The global waste-to-energy industry is expected to reach a market size of $50.92 billion by 2032. Mirroring global trends, the Indian waste-to-energy sector is growing at an equally rapid pace. The industry’s growth is attributed to a number of factors, most prominently the rising urbanization practices, that significantly increase the amount of waste generated. However, that's not all.
Waste generation across industries is a grave reality, with consequences trickling down to the consumer level. Resultantly, the modern consumer is more aware, with consumer facing sectors witnessing a rising demand for sustainable products and solutions.
Pyrotask Energy pioneers the waste-to-energy sector, specializing in chemical recycling of waste plastic. Converting various types of plastic waste into fuel and chemicals, the company serves industries that utilize furnaces and boilers. Equipped with a cutting-edge twin reactor system along with other world- class advanced automated systems, the company effectively processes 8 MT of plastic waste every day. On a mission to achieve a 100 percent circular economy for plastic waste generated, the company utilizes its waste-to-energy capabilities to create products that sustainably fuel diverse sectors.
Turning Waste Into Industry Fuel
Established in 2017, Pyrotask Energy began production in 2019, and has never looked back since. Over the years, the company has recycled over 6000 MT of plastic waste from its facility situated in Khopoli. Navigating the critical challenges of the lacking homogeneity of plastic waste, and material inconsistency, the company resiliently undertook the arduous task of separating polyolefins from other materials.
With the idea of utilizing municipal solid segregated plastic waste, the problem incremented significantly. However, the firm, through trial and error, identified vendors and waste sources that fit its production method. Getting the right kind of raw material input, and utilization of the correct preprocessing, processing, and post-processing methods, the firm developed expertise in utilizing plastic waste. Through continuous improvement, it developed the right procedure for achieving consistent product quality, bound by the client-required specifications.
The firm takes proactive measures such as sourcing plastic waste from diverse industries that produce plastic products to ensure waste is minimized from the get go. Integrating specialized technologies to products from the waste, the firm manufacturing high quality products like Pyrolysis Oil and Carbon Black. Pyrotask Energy plans to integrate its technology with local corporations as well, recycling MSW at the source.
“We are devoted to our duty of intercepting plastic waste from finding its way into landfills and oceans, or facing other undesirable methods of disposal. We believe the future of our planet is interdependent on the reutilization of the waste it produces. This begins with recycling of the most difficult type of waste”, shares Abhinav Todi, Partner, Pyrotask Energy.
Pyrotask has the capacity to recycle polyolefin waste such as polypropylene, polyethylene and polystyrene implementing its processes to transform the waste into useful products. Committed to robustly minimizing waste, Pyrotask consistently explores opportunities for developing new channels for waste collection, as well as process optimization.
Through these efforts, the firm enhances efficiency, while also improving quality of the products for its clients.
This consistent pursuit of quality improvement is reflected in its products. Pyrotask’s oil offers very low levels of contaminationan achievement few can claim. The company’s ISCC Plus certification is a testimony of its oil being produced from sustainable sources. Its ISO 9001 and other certifications highlight the company’s emphasis on achieving the highest standards of quality and safety.
Passion That Drives Success
Founded by Abhinav and Suresh Todi, who shared the vision to witness the recycling of plastics in the correct way, Pyrotask Energy is fueled by passion. Today, the company has grown into a dedicated team of 10 where each member shares the same passion for sustainability, and plastic recycling.
Beyond a commitment for careful recycling, each member of the team brings immense expertise and experience in their specific field. The core team, headed by JR Patil handles the main task of production. Under his supervision, the company’s daily operations and larger objectives and goals are not only designed, but also led with excellence.
With a dedicated team of operators, the company ensures that its recycling and production processes are carried out smoothly. Aligning processes with specific client-requested product specifications, the team keeps a close eye on every stage. The result is a high-performance, safe, and quality-driven product that empowers client functions seamlessly.
Continuous monitoring and improvement are a key part of Pyrotask’s edge in the domain. This is achieved through its proactive implementation of cutting-edge technologies which drive efficiency. A must in the chemical recycling field, the company deeply researched relevant technology and emerging technologies to enhance production and efficiency of operations. With a state-of-the-art plant which can process up to 8 MT of plastic waste every day, the firm assures a 70 percent conversion ratio, which results in the manufacture of top-quality pyrolysis oil.
“Our systems are currently semi automated operations. However, our process monitoring is key to our efficiency. Without compromising on cost, we have installed the most reliable and accurate instrumentation devices available in the market. Our safety systems are also constantly being upgraded to prevent accidents”, adds Abhinav.
The company implements a unique pyrolysis method, which refers to a thermal cracking of material in the absence of oxygen, giving rise to smaller molecules. Through this process, it breaks long chain polymers of plastic into multiple smaller carbon chains which can be as small as a single atom, or as big as 40 carbon atoms.

With the implementation of this process, and breaking down plastic, the company achieves three kinds of products including flammable gas, carbonaceous residue, and liquid, high calorific value fuel. It is this fuel that plays an important role for various industries, becoming a recycled source of energy.
Journey & Future Roadmap
Pyrotask Energy has completed a successful journey so far, but one marked by endless ups and downs. Navigating the roller coaster of a ride so far, from its early days of low revenues and high costs, to today where its costs are supported through ample client acquisition, the startup has grown tremendously. Throughout its journey, the company has prioritized improvement and enhancement, adoption of the latest technologies, and experimentations with diverse raw materials to give shape to its leading products.
With wide-eyed determination to curb waste generation through wise recycling and smart use of products generated from wastes, the company aspires to address the biggest challenges facing the country today. About 6 million tons of plastic waste goes un-recycled in India per year. Moreover, roughly 0.6 million tons of un-recycled plastic waste is disposed of in the oceans. The largest chunk ends up in landfills. Envisioning a growth oriented future, Pyrotask remains anchored by its mission to improve plastic recycling in a manner that enables the use of plastics indefinitely; without the need to create more plastic.
Transparent Solutions Boosting Reliability
Though a startup, Pyrotask Energy has established its reliability in the industry, on the basis of its traceable processes.
Its material processing chain, right from material acquisition from vendors to its delivery is transparently done, enabling clients to verify the product’s sustainability score.
Pyrotask’s emphasis on the development and promotion of a circular economy highlights its commitment to boosting sustainability across industries on an operational level.
