Advanced Thermochemical Recycling

Essay Energy — plastic and tyre recycling through advanced thermochemical recycling. Turning wasteinto worth.

Plastic waste is everywhere — but responsible recycling can turn the problem into an opportunity.

Essay Energy converts post-consumer plastics and end-of-life tyres into valuable industrial resources through advanced thermochemical recycling.

Turning plastic waste into industrial value.

Post-consumer plastic should not be treated as the end of a material's journey. Essay Energy is focused on transforming difficult plastic waste streams into valuable resources through advanced thermochemical recycling — creating a pathway from discarded material to new industrial value.

From material recovery to useful hydrocarbon products, our approach is designed to keep valuable carbon in circulation while helping industries move toward a more resource-efficient future.

Plastic waste in. Valuable resources out.

Circular Economy

Waste is not the end of a material's life. It can be the beginning of another value chain.

Essay Energy was founded with a single, uncompromising conviction: that the growing mountains of discarded plastics and end-of-life tyres across India are not a problem — they are a profoundly misclassified resource.

Rooted in the industrial heartland of Maharashtra and backed by advanced thermochemical technology, we bridge the gap between mounting waste volumes and the industries that need affordable, lower-carbon input materials.

How we convert waste to value

Essay Energy employs advanced Thermochemical Depolymerisation (TCD) — the controlled thermal decomposition of hydrocarbon-rich polymers in an oxygen-free reactor environment. No open burning. No landfill.

  1. 01

    Feedstock Collection

    Post-consumer plastics and end-of-life tyres from dealers, municipalities and industry.

    Inbound
  2. 02

    Shredding & Preparation

    Material shredded to uniform size. Steel magnetically separated. Moisture reduced.

    Pre-processing
  3. 03

    Pyrolysis Reactor

    Feedstock heated at 380–520°C in an oxygen-free environment. Polymer chains crack into vapours.

    Condensation & Recovery

    Vapours condensed into pyrolysis oil. Carbon black collected as solid. Syngas looped as fuel.

Feedstock

Two streams. One reactor.

Post-Consumer Plastic Stream
  • PE
  • HDPE
  • LDPE
  • PP
  • PS
  • ABS
  • Mixed post-consumer plastics

PE (HDPE/LDPE), PP, PS, ABS and mixed post-consumer plastics — packaging film, bottles, containers and industrial waste — processed through the same pyrolysis reactor. Plastic feedstock yields a lighter, higher-calorific oil fraction. Contaminated and mixed streams are accepted, reducing sorting burden for municipal and industrial partners.

End-of-Life Tyre / Rubber Stream
  • Passenger tyres
  • Truck tyres
  • OTR tyres
  • Industrial tyres

Passenger, truck, OTR and industrial tyres are accepted. Comprising natural rubber (NR) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), tyre feedstock undergoes thermal decomposition yielding pyrolysis fuel oil, recovered carbon black and high-grade scrap wire. Tyre-derived oil has a density of ~0.91 g/cc and a low flash point, making it an efficient industrial fuel.

What waste becomes

Every tonne of feedstock yields four distinct, marketable outputs. Nothing leaves our facility as landfill.

Quality

Certified output, batch by batch

Every batch of PFO and rCB is tested before dispatch. Buyers receive a Certificate of Analysis with density, calorific value, sulphur content and flash point data. No guesswork. No variable quality.
