Step towards making garbage free villages.
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)has a wide Geo-impact on living things in both Urban to Rural areas and thus has diverse challenges in managing MSW. Decentralised solid waste management is the most effective approach to address these diverse challenges across regions. Somehow Rural MSW has many facilities and procedures to reduce reuse and recycle the waste, but at the Rural level there is neither facility nor proper method to manage solid waste. The rural solid waste, both organic and inorganic either stays on the land damaging the soil, ecosystem and health of rural citizens and live stocks or gets transferred to urban landfills.
ZERO WASTE MANAGEMENT has designed and fabricated an internationally patented Decentralised solid Waste Management System that is portable — mounted on wheels — allowing it to be transported to various rural dump yards for waste segregation. Recognized among the top trommel machine manufacturers in India, this first-of-its-kind hybrid unit runs on Off Grid Solar Power through specially designed and patented solar panels fitted on the system itself. It also supports an optional built-in electric power supply and can operate on a diesel gen-set as well.
Monitoring solid waste production is the primary step in the overall waste management process. To manage and oversee operations, several advanced technologies are deployed — including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), four 360-degree CCTV cameras, and a Vehicle Location Tracking System (VLTS) — all in line with CPCB guidelines for mobile communication via General Packet Radio Service (GPRS). These tools enable real-time data reporting and photo documentation.
Due to its unique and patented feature of 'off grid solar supply system' on wheels, it is easy to operate without any extra cost of electricity.
Wastevoltaic technology refers to the generation of solar photovoltaic energy during the active processing of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) — a concept pioneered by Zero Waste Management from India. The implementation of decentralised solid waste management in Surat has set a replicable benchmark for sustainable, renewable-energy-integrated waste processing across the country.
In recent years, bioremediation and biomining of legacy waste dumpsites has gained significant momentum. The Swachh Bharat Mission 2.0 has issued a clear mandate to all Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) in India to complete dumpsite remediation by 2023 (for cities below 10 lakh population) and by 2024 (for cities above 10 lakh population), strictly following environmentally sustainable methods.
India is therefore poised to take on the massive challenge of remediating millions of tonnes of legacy waste over the next two to three years. The technical capacity of ULBs and other stakeholders will be pivotal in cleaning up over 3,000 dumpsites holding more than 1,300 million tonnes of legacy waste and occupying over 10,000 hectares of valuable urban land — ensuring such dumpsites never re-emerge.
The bioremediation process further enables productive utilization of extracted waste fractions, their scientific disposal, and the re-utilization of reclaimed land.
Compatible with Municipal Solid Waste.
Wastevoltaic provides an effective, efficient and innovative solution to the legacy dump sites through the creation of synergies between Municipal Solid Waste and renewable energies and while promoting sustainable rural and urban development and the protection of biodiversity and the ecosystem.
