Indian clean-tech company Entity 1 Value Emissions Private Limited, in collaboration with Sri Venkateswara University (SVU), has developed an eco-friendly solution for disposing of waste in a cheaper and hassle-free manner, without involving incineration and leaving zero residue. Furthermore, the process even generates fuel.This twin-pronged initiative offers its stakeholders two solutions — first, the ‘Made in India’ technology, which helps Andhra Pradesh clear its waste with zero residue, and secondly, the university gets a new curriculum, certification and degree stream in waste-to-value engineering.The project was developed keeping Tirupati in mind, which generates a lot of unsegregated feedstocks such as puja flowers, coconut kernel, among others, besides municipal solid waste, fish and poultry waste, plastic and tyres.Representatives from Entity 1 gave a demonstration of Ram Charan Cold Plasma Pyrolysis Reactor at the SVU campus on Tuesday, which was witnessed by the Vice-Chancellor Tata Narasinga Rao, Rector Ch. Appa Rao, Registrar M. Bhupathi Naidu, APSCHE former secretary M. Varadarajan and Tirupati Municipal Corporation (TMC) Revenue Officer P. Ravi.Mr. Narasinga Rao appreciated the initiative of Entity 1. The small reactor processes waste up to 50 kg, which can be scaled up as per the requirement of the cities.It may be recalled that the initiative even attracted the attention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who had appreciated the Small Modular Reactor (SMR) project in March 2026 for delivering reliable, low-carbon and continuous energy solutions for the future.
