FOOD WASTE MANAGEMENT PROJECT

40% OF TOTAL FOOD PRODUCED IS WASTED IN INDIA
The major sources are parties and celebrations
Every time it is dumped into the soil without making it productive
In the absence of proper food waste disposal system, people are forced to dump these wastes at road sides and other productive areas

OUR SOLUTION

Here we are introducing a device that can convert the daily food wastes in our homes into a mesh that can be used for agriculture or other productive works

The food is crushed and separated as liquid and mesh state

The liquid leftover can be utilized for watering the plants due to extreme nutrient content

The mesh state can be used as manure.

So in a single device we are completely converting the food waste into productive items.

Normally we dump the food waste without considering its nutritional values.

Working

The leftover food wastes are deposited in a funnel like object

Using electricity or manual rotating procedure the food is crushed to form liquid and mesh substance

The liquid substance comes from one tube and the mesh substance gets generated in the catridge

Since water content is completely removed from the food waste,it will not produce any odour in future

Design Model

Materials Required

Gears
Funnel
DC MOTOR
Metal Container
Catridge

Cost

The cost of making a single device is approximately 3500 Rs

The major expense will be coming under metallic parts of the device including crusher and rotor. A dc motor is used to make the process automatic.

Advantages

Eco Friendly

Low cost

Low power consumption

Waste Utilization

Disadvantages

Rotten foods during input may smell and hence the device must be designed to avoid that

We don’t get enough manure from a single disposal. Hence a catridge holds the waste until it becomes optimal

Conclusion

Here we present an optimal way to utilize the food waste that we dump on a regular basis.

In flats, the food waste generated from each apartment can be collected and utilized to produce eco friendly manures.

The device can be easily set up

We cannot avoid food wastes, but using this we can atleast utilize the waste that we generate

That must be our main motto
