1 Use of Biodegradable and Compostable Plastics in Organic Waste Management Waste generation by Category Source :
2 Waste generation trend and implications for Land requirement Municipal solid waste generation in India Land requirement in sq. km Million tonnes/day It is estimated that if the waste is not disposed off in a systematic manner, more than 1400 sq. km of land would be required in the country by the end of 2047 for its disposal. Today s Environment & Climate change Needless to Say Global warming
3 Waste surrounding us Transfer stations
4 Plastic bags interrupting organic waste management Photo: Nuria Vario What are Bio-Plastics? Bio-Based Feedstock Bio-Plastics Must Be Certifiable as Bio-Based -Biobased ASTM D6866 Biodegradable End of Life Must Be Defined and Certified - Compostable ASTM D6400
5 What does Biodegradable Mean? Can the microorganisms in the disposal system (composting, soil, anaerobic digestor) assimilate/utilize the carbon substrate as food source completely and in a short defined time period? Environment soil, compost, waste water plant, marine Hydrolytic Polymer chains with susceptible linkages oxidative Enzymatic Biodegradation: Only if all fragmented residues consumed by microorganisms as a food & energy source Define time and environment (disposal system) Oligomers & polymer fragments Complete microbial assimilation defined time frame, no residues!!! CO 2 + H 2 O + Cell biomass Zero Waste / Zero Landfill solutions Biodegradable foodservice ware in cafeterias enable source segregation and diversion of food waste to composting facilities.

7 Benefits of processing Three tons of waste-typical quantity per month from an apartment complex having 200 flats Decentralized composting models
8 Using manure from compost Snapshot of Bio-Degradation in Home Composting Compostable carry out bags bin bags Compostable bags as bin liners Removed 75,000 Tons per day of organic waste across India is being sent to landfills. This would generate ~ Tons of methane every day (21 times more harmful as a green house gas)- Assuming all waste put in landfill is converted to methane 16
