1 5th CII Environmental Best Practices Award 2018 Reduce Global Warming Reuse the Wet Waste Recycle as Organic About MyGreenBin GreenRich Grow India Private Limited is in this industry of waste management for the past 7 years. We provide micro solutions where waste is composted at SOURCE from 500 gms to 500 kg per day, to the ever growing problem of waste piling up in the cities, thereby making the environment green by encouraging organic farming. We are into a new and time tested concept of recycling waste with Fungal Inoculum that are important as decomposers and in retaining nutrients and moisture in the soil. We strive to create a better environment for ourselves and our future generations. As a start up company s constraint, the project takes time and we re looking forward to the industry leaders to support for sustainable development. 1

2 Waste Management News Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016 All Resident Welfare and market Associations, Gated communities and institution with an area >5,000 sq. m should segregate waste at source- in to valuable dry waste like plastic, tin, glass, paper, etc. and handover recyclable material to either the authorized waste pickers or the authorized recyclers, or to the urban local body. The bio-degradable waste should be processed, treated and disposed of through composting or bio-methanation within the premises as far as possible. The residual waste shall be given to the waste collectors or agency as directed by the local authority. New townships and Group Housing Societies have been made responsible to develop in-house waste handling, and processing arrangements for biodegradable waste. Waste generator will have to pay User Fee to waste collector and for Spot Fine for littering and non-segregation. National Green Tribunal has issued bailable warrants against non compliance to the above said SWM rules, post show cause notice. 2

3 Waste Management from Common Household 3

4 Benefits of Composting From one ton of waste, we can generate around 400 kg of organic manure which can be used for farming and we save 50 % water for irrigation. The organic manure makes the barren land more fertile as the compost gives back the nutrition to the soil. Composting reestablishes the eco system of the soil. My Green Bin- Microbes Aerobic based Composting Advanced Composting Using Aerobic Assistance (ACUAA) First the solid and liquid waste is sandwiched between layers of spongy My Green Microbes that can absorb moisture. My Green Microbes also absorbs stench producing obnoxious gases and provides free passage of air through the matrix for maintaining aerobic condition throughout composting. Waste disintegrates into uniform particles along with My Green Microbes into healthy nutrient rich SOILLESS PLANTING MEDIA. 4

5 The role of Fungi in water retention of the soil Ligno cellular lytic Fungi perform important services related to water dynamics, nutrient cycling, and disease suppression. Along with bacteria, fungi are important as decomposers in the soil food web. They convert hard-to-digest organic material into forms that other organisms can use. Fungal hyphae physically bind soil particles together, creating stable aggregates that help increase water infiltration and soil water holding capacity. Soil fungi can be grouped into three general functional groups based on how they get their energy. The role of Fungi in water retention of the soil Ligno cellular lytic Decomposers saprophytic fungi convert dead organic material into fungal biomass, carbon dioxide (CO2), and small molecules, such as organic acids. These fungi generally use complex substrates, such as the cellulose and lignin, in wood, and are essential in decomposing the carbon ring structures in some pollutants. A few fungi are called sugar fungi because they use the same simple substrates as do many bacteria. Like bacteria, fungi are important for immobilizing, or retaining, nutrients in the soil. In addition, many of the secondary metabolites of fungi are organic acids, so they help increase the accumulation of humic-acid rich organic matter that is resistant to degradation and may stay in the soil for hundreds of years. 5

6 Benefits of My Green Bin Reduces Waste at SOURCE upto 80% Very Economical, Hassle free, Easy to Use, Long Lasting with a Minimal recurring cost. No electrical or Mechanical energy is required as No rotation or churning is involved. Comparatively Very Lesser in Cost and Best in efficiency than any other method of composting and re-utilizing the waste management. We are the pioneer in giving the best range of products in Aerobic Composting for Home, Community & Institutions catering for wastage from as low as 0.5 kg to 500 kg per day. One ton of waste composted saves 81 cubic feet of Landfill, eliminates approximately 5000 gallons of methane, a greenhouse gas. Helps retain 1100 liter of water per acre as compost and reduces need for chemical fertilizers, generates about 400 kgs of nutrient rich compost and 60 liters of compost tea per month. MY GREEN BIN provides a Soilless Planting Media and Compost Tea a bio fluid. Sustainability Energy Efficient as Zero Electrical or Mechanical Energy input is needed that makes our system Carbon & Water Foot Print Neutral. Hence acts as a primary factor of Resource Conservation. Low Operating or Maintenance Cost as no large resource or man power is involved in the process. Renewable Energy as the waste decomposed are converted into two organic Green components; the Byproducts generated are Compost Tea & Organic Manure. This Waste Management avoids landfill by reducing carbon footprint preventing secretion of obnoxious gases. 6

7 Benefits of Compost Tea Prevents procurement of any chemical fertilizers and insecticide which is hazardous to the nature and to the Environment. Reduces Global warming and prevents emission of Greenhouse gases. Compost tea when sprayed on the leaves increases the amount of nutrients available to the plant, and speeds the breakdown of toxins. It maintains the chlorophyll on the leaves It reduces withering of leaves and the greenery is maintained Better plant growth in the form of better tasting vegetables, bigger blossoms and greener leaves. Plenty of nutrients for the plants that are easily absorbed straight through the plant roots. Provides an all-natural alternative to harsh chemical composts that cause harm to native plants, animals and human life. BYPRODUCT - COMPOST/ MANURE ORGANIC FERTILIZER We are evaluating the nutrient value with composted organic manure in different plants and totally avoid the chemical fertilizer, it s an initiative which required enormous effort from different segments of society. It s a continuous process. SGS Report Test Parameter Result ph 8.71 Total Organic Carbon Total nitrogen (Ammonical and Urea) 3.37 Pottassium Content (as K2O) C:N Ratio 8 Remarks : Total Nitrogen and Total Organic Matter on Dry basis. 7

8 2nd Byproduct Compost / Manure Once the composting process is complete the waste gets converted into Rich Organic Manure. The Organic Manure can be used as potting soil instead of conventional soil, which is a planting media. Reduces the water consumption due to its moisture content. Using this manure we can convert the dry land into usable organic cultivatable land. Harvesting We can Cultivate your own organic vegetables at home without chemical fertilizer / pesticides and be healthy. Home Composting MyGreenBins Capacity 25 ltr 120 ltr Ideal for home composting for family of 3 15 members. Hassle free, easy to use, easy to maintain and easy to convert your organic waste to organic manure. One set of bin will digest 0.5 kg 5 kg of waste per day Compost Tea collected 5-15 Ltrs Compost (Manure) collected 5 to 15 kg 8

9 Community Composting Bins Capacity 250 ltr 800 ltr Ideal for Community composting for families of Families. Hassle free, easy to use, easy to maintain and easy to convert your organic waste to organic manure. One set of bin will digest 10 kg 40 kg of waste per day Compost Tea collected Ltrs Compost (Manure) collected 50 to 300 kg Approximate Capital Cost per Family (in an Apartment) is Rs. 2000/- Institutional Composting Bins Capacity 1000 ltr 3000 ltr Ideal for Institutional composting for families of Families / Institutional Use. Hassle free, easy to use, easy to maintain and easy to convert your organic waste to organic manure. One set of bin will digest 50 kg 400 kg of waste per day Compost Tea collected Ltrs Compost (Manure) collected 300 to 2000 kg 9

10 Our Waste Our Responsibility By converting the kitchen waste into organic manure also called as black gold - we are feeding the soil with rich moist nutrients instead of landfill, thereby playing vital role in the environment. The 2nd green revolution starts with us GO GREEN.. Let s Segregate the waste, Compost and Save the environment. Thank you for Your Time!! Happy Harvesting!!! 10
