Benefits of Segregation – Conversion of Waste into Resource

Biodegradable: Garden, Vegetable, Fruit, Food Waste into organic fertilizer, soil conditioner and manure. Soiled waste paper that cannot be taken for recycling can be decomposed with other biodegradable waste.

Reuse & Recycling: Paper, Plastic and Metal. Clean used paper and paper boards. PET, LDPE, HDPE, PP, PVC etc., Aluminum, Iron, Steel, Copper, Tin etc. Tyres, Glass etc.,

Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF): Tree branches, wood, coconut shells etc. Used Cloth. Non recyclable plastic & mixed materials such as printed plastic packaging of biscuits, chips, tobacco, pan masala, plastic coated paper cups etc., RDF can be used for generation of heat or electricity.

With the recovery of useful resources, waste for dumping & landfill is reduced.
