Practical Action Bangladesh country office with support from Danida Market Development Partnership (DMDP) have been implementing a five years long development project to generate decent job and employment from the promotion of thin plastic/polythene waste value chain. The project will promote pyrolysis technology for conversion of thin/low graded polythene to pyrolysis oil and black carbon. River Recycle based in Finland and Lamor Corporation are commercial partners of this project. First two years of the project are considered as development phase and targeted to install, and pilot run of pyrolysis plant (at 1 ton/day capacity) in Faridpur municipality. Donor DMDP have restriction to utilise their fund for buying any equipment for long term commercial purposes. But they have scope to support for leasing for certain period. 

In this backdrop, Practical Action and River Recycle jointly selected ScarabTech based in South Africa to take lease for a 1 ton/day capacity pyrolysis plant from South Africa. The pilot plant need to bring in Faridpur via Chittagong port from Port of Durban, South Africa. The pyrolysis equipment will be leased for 01-year period which shall commence on the of the Commissioning.

Practical Action wants to engage a C&F agent/company which will provide clear and forward the pyrolysis equipment from customs in Chittagong port and transport the pyrolysis equipment from Chittagong port to Project site in Faridpur as well as unload the pyrolysis equipment from carrying vehicle.
