Waste to Product (W2P) Lab

Transforming waste into value-added products through sustainable engineering, applied research, and industry–academia collaboration.

About W2P Lab

The Waste-to-Product (W2P) Lab stands as a pioneering multidisciplinary research hub, relentlessly transforming industrial, agricultural, and municipal waste streams into high-value, sustainable products. We champion innovative, low-energy, low-carbon solutions rooted in circular economy principles—ensuring they are not only technically robust but also economically scalable for widespread adoption.

Our unwavering mission is to shatter the divide between cutting-edge academic research and real-world industrial deployment, delivering battle-tested processes, scalable pilot demonstrations, and market-ready technologies that drive global sustainability forward.

Research Focus Areas

Waste-Derived Materials

Production of precipitated silica, Alkali silicates, geopolymers, and construction materials from agricultural and industrial wastes.

Biogenic & Organic Waste Utilization

Recovery of amino acids from protein rich wastes, and bio-based chemicals from organic and biological waste streams.

Energy & Process Engineering

Compact Heat Exchanger Designs suited for demanding task, Developing alternatenate methods to convert high temperature process into Low-temperature processes, alternative fuels, waste heat utilization, and energy-efficient reactor and kiln design.

Environmental Sustainability

Development of speciallized activated carbon for filters, Life cycle assessment (LCA), emission reduction, waste immobilization, and real time environmental monitoring and sinumlation.

Laboratory Facilities

Material Synthesis & Processing

Reactors, autoclaves, mixers, filtration units, dryers, and milling equipment for bench- and pilot-scale studies.

Characterization

Facilities for physical, chemical, and thermal characterization including particle size analysis, XRD, FTIR, and basic thermal measurements.

Process Design & Simulation

Process modeling, mass and energy balances, and techno-economic feasibility analysis using engineering tools.

Selected Projects

Precipitated Silica from Agricultural Ash

Development of low-energy routes for high-purity silica production from rice husk ash and other biomass residues.

Amino Acids from Waste Biomass

Recovery of amino-acid-rich solutions from waste human hair and other protein-rich wastes.

Geopolymer & Green Construction Materials

Kiln-free bricks and binders using industrial by-products and alkaline activation.

Industry & Academic Collaboration

W2P Lab actively collaborates with industries, startups, and academic institutions to translate laboratory research into deployable technologies. We welcome joint research projects, sponsored studies, student internships, and pilot-scale demonstrations.
