Priyanka Bakaya, MIT Bootcamps coach, Sloan MBA '11, & CEO of Renewlogy, helped develop a system that converts plastic waste to fuel and is taking on one polluted river at a time.
“The aim is to take this to other major polluted rivers where we can have maximum impact,” Bakaya says. “We’ve started with the Ganges, but we want to go to other regions, especially around Asia, and find circular economies that can support this in the long term so locals can derive value from these plastics.”
