Universidad Nacional del Centro del Perú (UNCP)
Headquarters: Huancayo, Peru
UNCP researchers have developed a thermoelectric device that converts plastic bottles into fuel and gas. Their project focuses on addressing plastic waste by producing pyrolytic oil (similar to diesel, refinable to gasoline) and propane gas, with carbon residue for industrial applications.
