Catalyzing Resources. Creating Value.
Turning Waste & Biomass into Valuable Resources
Developing catalytic and thermochemical technologies for fuels, chemicals, hydrogen and sustainable resource recovery.
Converting difficult-to-recycle plastic waste into targeted naphtha-range hydrocarbon products.
A chemical engineering & catalysis deep-tech company
Ecocatalix Technologies Pvt. Ltd. develops catalytic and thermochemical processes that convert waste plastics, biomass and other renewable resources into fuels, chemicals, hydrogen, hydrocarbon feedstocks and carbon-rich materials. The company works at the intersection of chemical engineering, heterogeneous catalysis, reaction engineering and process scale-up — building a technology portfolio rather than a single product.
India's Plastic Waste Is a Stranded Asset
India's growing plastic-waste stream includes mixed, contaminated and low-value polyolefin fractions that are difficult to recover economically through conventional mechanical recycling. These streams can be landfilled, openly burned or otherwise under-valorised when collection and sorting economics are unfavorable.
Agricultural residues face a parallel problem: large, decentralized volumes of underutilized biomass carbon with no straightforward route to clean fuels or hydrogen.

Catalytic Plastic-to-Naphtha
A two-stage thermochemical process — continuous depolymerisation followed by in-line catalytic upgrading — narrows the product slate to the naphtha range, targeting a cleaner, lighter, higher-value output than conventional thermal pyrolysis oil.

Non-Condensable Gas
Intended for recycle as process fuel, reducing external process-fuel demand.
Carbon Residue / Char
Targeted for industrial applications, with research ongoing into higher-value functional materials.
Five Reasons This Is a Process-Engineering Company, Not a Waste Handler
Catalytic Upgrading
Targeting improved control over hydrocarbon product distribution through catalytic upgrading, rather than relying on thermal pyrolysis alone.
Integrated Process
Conversion, catalytic upgrading, condensation and purification are designed as one connected process train, not separate bolt-on steps.
Waste-to-Value
Designed to recover value from difficult-to-recycle waste streams that mechanical recycling and informal collection both bypass.
Process Engineering
Grounded in chemical engineering, reaction engineering, process development and scale-up — not a lab curiosity.
Technology Portfolio
Plastic, biomass, hydrogen, chemicals, catalysis and separation technologies share one common engineering backbone.
Plastic-to-Naphtha is the flagship commercialization opportunity — alongside a broader portfolio of waste-to-value and catalytic process technologies
