| 52 |  | KM PET Industries | Marine fish nets it had HDPE ropes and nylon and even cotton - earlier it was only one material Nylon - different products different plastics - so they are not recylable properly - for this conical extruder needed costly 4.2 crores - to recycle bulky material like Nylon fishnet and PP woven sack bags | Plastics & Waste management |
| 53 | | KM PET Industries | Frictional washing - for oil contaminated plastics currently being used is 20 horsepower only - but in germany the friction washer is 150 horsepower which removed atomic level oil contamination from post-consumer wastes - this high amount of energy takes up high amount of money - to design fricitional washing with less power consumption and not to drain lot of cost for energy itself | Plastics & Waste management |
| 54 | | KM PET Industries | Colour sorter and polymer sorter costs crores reducing the cost with design innvoation - complete without manpower design | Plastics & Waste management |
| 55 | | KM PET Industries | Plastics as alternative for metals - for which glass fibre is used - which is difficult to recycle | Plastics & Waste management |
| 56 | | KM PET Industries | PBT, PC-ABS recycling not done properly Nylon-GF, PPGF mainly also because its coated with paint and proper recycling methods/process or machines are not existent - the paints have to removed with speciality chemicals which are costly and also there is release of effluent from the process which is hazardous because it contains the paint particles - this is being dumped into the rivers illegally - copolymer recycling processes needed. Even Polyacetyl also called Delrine and few foams like shoe soles are not recycled properly and mostly incinerated - copolymers clear source information would help recycling process some traceability here would be great add on to the process | Plastics & Waste management |
| 57 | | KM PET Industries | Food container and beverage container caps made with different materials PP (because its low cost) and HDPE (this was prominent) caps are mixed - we are unable to separate - alcohol decontrol does not work | Plastics & Waste management |
| 58 |  | LUCKY MOTORS | Bad debts in vehicle based loans (unable to trust people if they can pay the loan or not as we cant verify the background so much without CIBIL score access - and if they default some run away with the vehicle too) - so we need a tool to track - not only GPS but something inbuilt inside the vehicle which cannot be removed or removed and replaced - a chip or a sticker, someway if GPS is integrated into the vehicle and once loan is paid off it it can be removed | Transport, waste management |
| 59 | | LUCKY MOTORS | how to assess the credibility of the person especially daily wage workers or minimum wage workers who want to take private loans | Transport, waste management |

| 62 |  | LUCKY MOTORS | Medicine blister packs - recycling - the collection is the main issue - what methodologies or systems we can use to collect them effectively - to segregate/separate them from other post-consumer municipal waste | packaging |
| 63 | | LUCKY MOTORS | Processing of medicine packaging post-consumer waste - there is lack of purity - the mechanical process is followed predominantely - first they grind it seive it into fine powder and then electrostatic separation is done where the metal is separated from the plastic - purity is 85 to 90% - not good enough for the industries they need upto 99% purity - however chemical processes work well in the lab but not scalable - to develop a solution that is maybe hybrid and affordbale which can give a high purity of 99% | packaging |
| 64 |  | SEAGRASS TECH PRIVATE LIMITED. | Design and fabrication of photobioreactors that utilise saltwater for marine microalgae cultivation at an affordable cost - a closed reactor system at affordable cost - this wont be affected by monsoons like the open raceway ponds - low cost PBRs with better quality of output - Upstream problem being faced by many | Aquaculture |
| 65 | | SEAGRASS TECH PRIVATE LIMITED. | Downstream - purification methods are mainly chemical based flocculants - used to harvest the microalgae - need for low cost filtration methods for removing and harvesting algae - this will reduce the dependency on chemicals - need to be affordable and give higher yield and purity | Aquaculture |
| 66 | | SEAGRASS TECH PRIVATE LIMITED. | Designing a vertical tower based stacking system - affordable model for cultivation of microalgae - so space requirement is reduced and volume of production can be increased | Aquaculture |
| 67 | | SEAGRASS TECH PRIVATE LIMITED. | Affordable and sustainable packaging - vaccum sealable - for photosensitive beta-carotenoid powders packaging for export | Aquaculture |
| 68 | | SEAGRASS TECH PRIVATE LIMITED. | Design processes to reduce number of steps in the downstream process - one machine that can do centrifuge and filtration and drying to give the final dried powder - so ultrafiltration and centrifuge can be clubbed as one machine process - then the amount of wastage will be reduced - there will be time and cost savings also - amount of yield will be better 5 to 10% increase in yield also will be highly beneficial for the industry | Aquaculture |
| 69 |  | Pradeepthi Industries Private Limited | 1 Green Hydrogen - waterless process - thus it wont affect ecosystem or rainfall or seawater - this wont disturb the ecological imbalance - so a non-electrolytic process without electrodes its an affinity based method | Energy and Agriculture |
| 70 | | Pradeepthi Industries Private Limited | 2 For biogas CFS based tanks which is more affordable (CFS is the proprietary technology) - easy to install - farmers must not burn the agrowaste - they can use affordable system to produce bio CNG | Energy and Agriculture |
| 71 | | Pradeepthi Industries Private Limited | Blending technology with an additive/substrate to increase the quality of methane (high calorific value) | Energy and Agriculture |
| 72 | | Pradeepthi Industries Private Limited | 3 Biobriquettes - industry is suffering - low calorifc value - like additive they have developed so it burns for 1 hour not typical 15min - they increase calorific value | Energy and Agriculture |
| 73 | | Pradeepthi Industries Private Limited | 4 Bioethanol - sugarcane is not ideal 9 month crop - they developed 3 month crop lower economic crop - white tubular york like sweet potato - its a 12 step vertical farming system with very less water with 80-90% starch - in this way ethanol can be produced 365 days - their process is proprietary conditions also | Energy and Agriculture |
| 74 | | Pradeepthi Industries Private Limited | 5 Biodiesel - high amount of feedstock needed - that much cooking oil not available and also complaince B100 need to be met - so they developed Black soldier fly they increased lipid content upto 40% and for every 21 days you can cultivate - process of cultivation conditions also proprietary | Energy and Agriculture |
