Development of Composting Machine for Utilization of Kitchen Waste

Mechanical Engineering

This project reviews the utilisation of kitchen waste for composting. Kitchen wasteis one of the most prominent waste streams across the whole world, and in India 50% of total waste is kitchen waste. Open dumping and land filling causes environmental degradation and harmful diseases, thereby releasing toxics in the atmosphere which causes pollution. Methane produced from kitchen waste constitutes one of the six green house gases responsible for the global warming. This problem is taken into consideration for project work. In this project we are developing a mechanized system to produce manure (i.e.Compost). This project seeks to minimize environmental impact and maximize economic benefit at acceptable cost. This will lead to improve soil structure and fertility. Composting is an important way that we can giveback to the local community and our natural world. In this project we tested 4 samples these were soil, compost, soil & enzymes, Compost & Enzymes and came to know that Compost has superior attributes as compare to others.
