The document discusses composting and organic waste management in Muzaffarnagar, India. The goals are to improve composting processes, understand current organic waste processing, identify opportunities to increase composting efficiency and demand. Interviews with farmers found chemical fertilizers are fast-acting but harmful long-term, while compost is slow but sustainable. Research found 60% of waste is organic and 40% inorganic. Composting produces 17.2-20.7% compost and 14.9% RDF. Challenges include inefficient composting from mixed waste and lack of consistent compost demand in the area. Next steps are to identify bottlenecks, increase environmental awareness, and find new compost

3. GOALS
• Improve composting process.
• Understand how organic waste is currently processed
• Identify opportunities for process improvements in
composting
• Increase demand for compost
• Understand current perceptions of compost and
demand for compost
• Identify opportunities to encourage greater demand
and expand public awareness

4. METHODOLOGY
Awareness about waste
-At schools and colleges
level
-In residential and
commercial areas

8. CURRENT PROCESSING BY A2Z

10. Potential Solutions of A2Z
• Separation of waste at household and business
level (Organic and inorganic level)
• Explore opportunities for other types of processing
for waste

11. GREEN WARRIORS OF A2Z
• BACTERIA
– PSEUDOMONAS
– BOVARIA BASSIANA
– TRICODERMA
– PHOSPHATE SOLUBALISER
• A2Z WORKERS
• Waste collector

12. DEMAND FOR COMPOST

13. FARMER’S INTERVIEW

14. RESULTS FROM
INTERVIEWS
• Chemical fertilizers
– Fast Results but long term harm
– Subsidized by government
– Well known and widely used
• Compost
– Slow results but long term sustainability
– Costs more, unless made on the farm
– Needs more awareness about value

15. RESULTS OF A2Z RESEARCH
• Total waste
• 60% organic
• 40% inorganic
• Results of waste processed by A2Z:
• PRODUCTS:
• 17.2 – 20.7% compost
• 14.9% RDF
• REMAINING:
• 15 – 22% of weight lost because of moisture/decomposition/dust
• 4.6 – 5.7% landfill

16. CHALLENGES
• Making compost by A2Z from mixed waste
– not efficient
– may lead to contaminated compost
– variable quality
• Variations in temperature and moisture
throughout the year impacts the
processing of compost and results
• Compost is not widely used in this area

17. NEXT STEPS
• Identify bottlenecks in the process
• Study community outreach on
environmental awareness initiatives
• Identify markets for expansion

18. Our Objective
To Reduce Global Warming
by
recycling kitchen waste into
a completely safe, natural
and organic product

19. Material & Method
VERY EASY TO PRODUCE AT
HOME

22. end of fermentation filter to remove residue
Product is ready for use residue as fertilizer

23. Result & Discussion
• After three months of spontaneous fermentation
the product is prepared which was filtered through
a cotton cloth or very small pore size mesh.
• After 3 months, extract out the water and leave
only the sediment. The sediment can be dried to
become compost or may be left for next
fermentation.
• Eco product will never expire. The longer you
keep it stronger it becomes.
• If it diluted with water will enhance the power.

24. Applications of Eco product
1. For fertilizer & pesticide 1 : 1000
2. For insecticide 1 : 1000
3. As plant hormone to get more flower and fruit
dilute 500x
Eco-product adds with water to dilute, it become more power.
