Indore is all set to make a significant leap towards environmental sustainability with the launch of India鈥檚 first PPP-model based green waste processing plant under the Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban. This groundbreaking initiative, aims to revolutionize the city鈥檚 waste management system by converting green waste into valuable resources. This project underscores the city鈥檚 commitment to innovation and sustainability in tackling urban waste challenges. The facility will not only process green waste but also generate revenue, with the Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) earning approx. Rs 3,000 per tonne in royalty for supplying wood and branches. Built on a 55,000 square feet land in Bicholi Hapsi, the plant will recycle wood and branches to produce wooden pellets, serving as an alternative to coal and promoting energy conservation. Branches of large trees will be redirected to the Green Waste Processing Plant at City Forest, where they will be repurposed into valuable products. In addition, green waste generated from the premises of major institutions will be directly collected and sent to the facility, with a fixed fee structure in place. Every day, the bustling city of Indore generates approximately 30 tons of green waste鈥攚ood, branches, leaves, and flowers. As the seasons change, especially during autumn, this volume can soar to 60 to 70 tonne. Partnering with the Indore Municipal Corporation, Astronomical Industries Private Limited embarked on an ambitious initiative to transform the city鈥檚 green waste into something both sustainable and valuable鈥攁 fine sawdust that could be used across a wide array of industries. With a detailed plan in place, the idea is to dry the green waste over a span of three to four months. During this time, the moisture content would decrease by 90 per cent, preparing the material for the next stage. As the months pass by, the green waste, once damp and cumbersome, would become light and brittle, almost ready for transformation. cutting edge machines will then help to break it down into fine dust particles - saw dust. Once an unremarkable byproduct of timber mills, now has a second life, contributing to a sustainable, circular economy. News source: PIB
