CSIR-IICT Director Dr D. Srinivas Reddy said scientific research creates its greatest impact when translated into technologies that address real-world challenges.
Hyderabad:CSIR–Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (CSIR-IICT), Hyderabad, and Re Sustainability Limited (ReSL) have signed a strategic umbrella memorandum of understanding to collaborate on advanced research, technology development, scale-up and commercialisation of sustainable environmental solutions.
The partnership brings together CSIR-IICT’s scientific expertise as a premier laboratory under the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research and ReSL’s three decades of experience in environmental infrastructure, circular economy solutions, waste management, resource recovery and industrial sustainability.
The collaboration will focus on chemical and advanced recycling of plastic waste, waste-to-value technologies and resource recovery, sustainable materials and circular economy solutions, bio-based and green chemical processes, industrial wastewater treatment and environmental remediation, and carbon capture, utilisation and decarbonisation technologies.
CSIR-IICT Director Dr D. Srinivas Reddy said scientific research creates its greatest impact when translated into technologies that address real-world challenges. The partnership with ReSL would accelerate the development, validation and commercialisation of technologies in waste management, resource recovery and the circular economy, contributing to India’s sustainability goals.
Dr Nettem V. Choudary, distinguished scientist, CSIR-IICT, said the collaboration would help translate scientific innovations into scalable environmental technologies and create new opportunities for impactful research.
Masood Mallick, managing director and group CEO, Re Sustainability, said pressing environmental challenges require scientific research, collaborative innovation and the ability to implement solutions at scale. He said the partnership would combine CSIR-IICT’s scientific expertise with ReSL’s implementation capabilities to develop and commercialise technologies in waste management, circular economy, resource recovery and climate action.
