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
Plastic waste generation in India has nearly tripled in under a decade, and a large share of it — mixed, contaminated, low-value polyolefin film — falls completely outside the reach of mechanical recycling. It doesn't get recycled; it gets landfilled or openly burned.
Agricultural residues face a parallel problem: large, decentralized volumes of underutilized biomass carbon with no straightforward route to clean fuels or hydrogen.
Source: Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) data as cited in company analysis. This is the structural gap Ecocatalix is built to close.
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
Recycled as process fuel rather than flared or vented.
Carbon Residue / Char
Sold for industrial applications today; research is ongoing into higher-value functional materials.
Plastic-to-Naphtha is the flagship commercialization opportunity — alongside a broader portfolio of waste-to-value and catalytic process technologies

Seven catalysts (A–G) were screened on HDPE feedstock via Detailed Hydrocarbon Analysis, measuring naphtha selectivity and fuel-grade physical properties.
Oxygenated compounds: negligible. Viscosity: 0.739–1.29 mm²/s. Laboratory performance may vary depending on feedstock, catalyst formulation and operating conditions.
Scale-up Pathway
5 TPD, target 2027
First commercial plant target: 5 TPD (target 2027), expandable to 8–10 TPD without civil redesign, and subsequently to multi-module clusters. Figures are project targets and design basis, not an existing commercial plant.
