Invention of Waste Assimilator for Biodegradable Solid Waste Management and Organic Farming

Abstract

Present scenario of mixing of plastic waste along with the biodegradable solid waste ruined the entire solid waste management activities by developing huge ‘wasteland’ and ‘toxic land’ day by day in India. To fulfil the requirement, a ‘Waste Assimilator’ is invented (Patent Application No. 1352/KOL/2014) to produce ‘bio-pest repellent’ and ‘organic manure’ in the form of macro- and micro-‘plant nutrients’, ‘vermiwash’ and finally ‘vermicompost’ at household level by utilizing all type of daily generated biodegradable solid waste including kitchen waste, fruit and vegetable peels, meat and fish waste, agricultural waste, garden waste, forest waste, water hyacinth, etc. The invention is now generating the concept of solid waste management and ‘organic farming’ including household-level domestic ‘organic green tea’ gardening which is also opening a path for economic growth and health benefits out of the waste resources. Through the use of ‘Waste Assimilator’, up to 80% domestic solid waste problem can be solved and a significant reduction of the roadside dumps can be achieved. On the other hand, bigger size community ‘Waste Assimilator’ can manage the community- or market-generated biodegradable solid waste which can inspire large-scale organic farming in rural areas.
