Chandigarh 07th June:- Problems of waste management being
faced by Municipal Corporations in Urban areas of North India, are now set to
become a thing of the past. A path breaking technology 'waste to compost'
invented by Engineers of Pune based Bhor Engineering, was unveiled. Bhor
Engineering has entered North India in collaboration with Renewic, Mohali with
the technology. The technology, which comprises of different capacity
electronic machines, was unveiled by Sarabjeet Singh, Assistant Commissioner,
Municipal Corporation, Mohali in presence of Arvind Rajput, MD,Bhor Engineering, Pune,
Amanpreet Kaur Mangat, MD, Renewic, Mohali & Parampreet Kaur, Director,
Renewic., Mohali. Later A media interaction about the introduction of the new
technology was also held. The technology has been brought to Chandigarh to
coincide with World Environment Day celebrations & a demonstration of how
waste is the actually converted onto compost using the machines, was also held.
Arvind
Rajput, MD, Bhor Engineering, Pune said that the technology is already in use with
government organizations like Nasik Nagar Palika, Pune Municipal Corporation ,
Hyderabad Municipal Corporation and Maharashtra Vidhan Mandal among
others. The
technology is listed under GeM scheme of Government of India & is helping
give shape to PM Modi's idea of Clean India under the banner of Swachh Bharat
Abhiyan.
It is
noteworthy that Vision Ecologica, Technext, Pacific Laboratories, Al-Futtaim
Exova which are well known organizations that provide analytical data related
to scientific parameters of products, have certified in their reports that the
technology is Ecologically sound with a C:N ratio less than 20. The other
parameters are also quite robust.
Amanpreet
Kaur Mangat, MD, Renewic, Mohali said that the machines are categorized in
different divisions based on capacity. These range from 2kgs till
1000 Kgs. The 2 Kgs machine converts the waste into compost in 4
hours and all others in 20 hours. The compost is odorless, Methane
Gas free and Eco-friendly.
The
machine can decompose biodegradable/ organic waste of households, hotels,
Schools, Hospitals, Food Processing Units and in fact any organization in just
4 hours. The Eco friendly & user friendly characteristics of the technology
have been instrumental in Mohali's Municipal Corporation placing an order with
the manufacturers.
Arvind Rajput said that this electronic machine is a
weapon to combat the alarming issue of waste management and now our
target will be North India mainly Chandigarh, Punjab,
Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir to help these overcome the
issue of waste management.
Parampreet
Kaur, Director, Renewic, Mohali said that India produces 1,00,000 metric tonnes of
waste everyday & if we look at the region just Haryana's Gurugram &
Faridabad pump out 1600 tonnes of waste daily according
to a report. Cleanliness
needs to be maintained from grass root levels, the technology brought in by
these state of the art machines will reduce the burden of Municipal
Corporations and will change the scenario of managing daily household waste
dramatically.
Government
offices, Housing Societies, Colleges and Hospitals of Tricity which are prime
generators of bio-degradable waste have adopted or are gradually on way to
introduce this brand new solution to the problem of waste management.
Amanpreet
Kaur sums up that these machines are a boon for agricultural sector. The
compost can be used as manure in agriculture sector where it can replace the
chemical fertilizers and prove to be good for the production of healthy food
and also the waste crops can be converted to compost and used as manure which
can reduce the smoke generated from burning of crops. Not only this, we also
have got a machine which can convert waste to water which can be used for
irrigation and other agricultural purposes.
The
technology could well be the answer to Urban India's waste management woes. The
technology has not only been adopted by Municipalities all over India but even
housing societies have benefitted from this. Seems like PM Modi's 'Swachh
Bharat' vision has finally received the technology that looked like a distant
dream.
