• During my internship with the <strong>Sustainability and Circular Economy</strong> team at <strong>Reliance Industries Limited</strong>, I worked on the <strong>Plastic Waste Deinking Technology</strong> project. My responsibilities included conducting research on plastic waste management, circular economy principles, and advanced deinking technologies. I performed technology benchmarking by comparing mechanical, chemical, solvent-based, ultrasonic, thermal, and enzymatic deinking processes based on technical, environmental, and economic parameters. I analyzed process flow diagrams, evaluated the feasibility of different recycling technologies through CAPEX and OPEX assessments, and studied their environmental impacts. I also contributed to literature reviews, prepared technical reports and presentations, supported sustainability initiatives related to plastic recycling, and collaborated with cross-functional teams to identify innovative solutions for improving the quality and recyclability of post-consumer plastic waste.
