Waste into wealth

it is possible to convert all kinds of waste into wealth.

Organic Food Waste ------ Composting for manure

Cooked food waste - - - - - Biogas

Paper/plastic/glass/metal - - - - Recycling

Agro Waste - - - - - - - - - -

Biomass Briquettes using Manual Machines or Automated Machines. Many Automated plants are running in India and briquettes produced can be used for cooking and also in industry. Manual briquettes make a good cooking fuel.

EWB (Engineers Without Borders) is seriously propagating this concept. Due to high investments for automated machines the spread is slow. Wherever such plants exist, so called waste materials price keeps increasing. The manual method is very good for rural areas and for families dependent on firewood or cow dung cakes.

There is a need for building awareness in this area and I welcome everyone who is interewsted in Biomass Briquetting to get in touch with me and also see the EWB website.

Biomass briquettes are made from all kinds of agricultural waste. Wastes like Rice Husk, Seed Shells, Coir Waste, tender coconut waste, coconut shells, all kinds of plant remains, grass, leaves, saw dust, and also part of the municipal waste etc. Most of the time the above wastes are burnt inefficiently causing environment pollution. Briquetting helps in reducing pollution substantially. It improves the calorific value due to densification. Transportation and storage of briquettes is also easy & convenient.

  We are looking out for the people who are working on waste management ... so that we can promote and coordinate with them by giving our(IYCN's) total support for the campaign..!
Interested people can get in touch with me so that I can give you the contact details of Honorable convener of "Energy consevation mission"
