  1. It is possible to convert the non-toxic urban wastes into value-added utilitarian products such as Wood substitutes, Concrete substitutes, Metal substitutes and Plastics substitutes – thereby simultaneously solving Two problems: Reduced depletion of limited resources and reduction in Global Warming Urban Household Wastes Recycling

  2. Were we to look at Household wastes alone, they could be categorized under Six major Waste-Classes: (1) Food materials ................………......... (45%) (2) Paper/ Cloth/ Wood ....…….........…..... (10%) (3) Plastics .........................………….…... (15%) (4) Electrical/ Electronics ...………..…...... (10%) (5) Medical/ Toxic/ Chemical ....……......... (10%) (6) Cement/ Concrete/ Glass, Metallics .... (10%) [The percentages show approximate values of each class, within Household wastes] Basic Wastes Segregation

  3. The following are the value-added products: (1) Food Materials ................. Biogas and Bio-Fertilizer (2) Paper/Cloth/Wood ........... Utility products (3) Plastics ............................ Utility products (4) Electrical/ Electronics ....... Recycled by Vendors (5) medical/ Toxic/ Chemicals .... Tough to recycle (6) Cement/Concrete/Glass, Metals ... Utility Products Value-added Products – 1

  4. Each Ton of average Household wastes could be converted to the following Value-added Products: (1) Biogas/ methane ............................... 31.5 Kg (2) Bio-fertilizer ................................ 29 Kg (dry matter) (3) Bio-Water ........................................... 300 L (4) Carbon-Sink Engineered Products .... 175 Kg (5) various Utility products ...................... 425 kg [Potential values would be: Rs.40,000 and above per each ton Wastes processed] Value-added Products – 2

  5. The following Utilitarian product systems are Possible: 1. Bimethane for Power production; 2. Engineered products for Wood Substitutes such as Furniture, Doors, Structurals; Metal substitutes; Concrete substitutes; 3. Modular Building systems; Automobile product systems; Hosuings for White goods. Some Idea of End-Products

  6. The products here are Wood substitutes; house-ware, and Boat hull. These have been produced using various wastes systems, as mentioned in the lists earlier Some Developed Products

  7. 1. Biomethane for Power production… 1,575 Kg/ day 2. Bio-Fertilizer (dry wt.)……………..... 1,450 Kg/ day 3. Engineered products: Wood Substitutes such as Furniture, Doors, Structurals; Metal substitutes, Concrete substitutes……………….…. 25 T/ day 4. About 250 people (at lowest rungs) would have Jobs [Total values (Lowest level) … Rs.56 Cr/ annum] 50-Tons/Day MODULE – Urban Wastes Conversion

  8. COSTS OF PROJECT 1. Initial works …………………………..…. Rs.10 L 2. Organization/ Planning etc …………..... Rs.25 L 3. Biomethane Power Plant systems ……. Rs.3 Cr 4. Production Plant/ Machinery ………….. Rs.10 Cr 5. Support systems, Auxiliaries etc ………. Rs.5 Cr 6. Initial operations/ market entry costs….. Rs.1 Cr 7. First Year Working Capital ……………… Rs.7 Cr ESTIMATED PROJECT COSTS ……….... Rs.26.5 Cr Project set-up Time ………………………... One year Break-Even time after Project set-up: One year Some Commercial Data

  9. 1. Each Module catering to a manageable 50,000 households; 2. As wastes are segregated at source, collection and recycling are easier, within 50,000 households; 3. Dispersed set up reduces quality assurances and logistics problems; 4. More people (male/ fem) would have full time jobs; 5. Basic Module construction becomes compact’ 6. Replication is easier through Mass-production of such Modules. Advantages of 50-T MODULE

  10. 1. Every Household would be paid for the supplies of segregated Wastes at a specific value per Kg; 2. 200 Households would form a Wastes Collection group, to monitor and supply segregated wastes; 3. Municipal Corporation would be paid a value of Rs.1 Cr per annum, per Module operation, for supports; 4. Almost no grid power would be used for operations; 5. “Proof of Concept” may be set-up within Rs.30 L. Some Salient Aspects
