From waste to Wealth: Innovative Strategies for Effective Waste Management
The project is being implemented in Ward Number 39 of the Ranchi Municipal Corporation in collaboration with Multi-Art Association, a Jharkhand based non-profit organisation. The aim is to introduce affordable and low-cost household waste management solutions to reduce the carbon footprint of urban homes. Central to this initiative is the integration of urban waste pickers as key change agents. On a pilot scale, the project deploys a wet waste composting bin system developed by अर्बन-kheti. This system includes 30-liter composting bins and a simple Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) that transforms kitchen waste into high-quality compost. Two composting bins in 100 selected households has been installed. This initiative projects to reduce annually total waste load by approximately 18 metric tons and methane emission footprint by 600 kgs for the 100 households involved.
Integrating School Nutrition Garden & Composting for climate protection
This project focuses on enhancing waste management practices and promoting sustainability in schools through the establishment of composting systems and nutrition gardens. Implemented in five residential schools in Dumka district, the initiative integrates environmental education with practical action, engaging students, teachers, and school authorities. Through collaboration with local stakeholders and support from GIZ under the ERADA initiative, this project sets a foundation for broader adoption of sustainable practices in educational institutions and communities.
Key Activities
Training sessions were conducted for students, Bal Sansad members, and school staff on climate change, waste management, and the use of compost tumblers and vermi beds. Infrastructure setup entailed installation of 300-liter compost tumblers, vermi beds, and bamboo boxes for storing and sun-drying collected leaves in each school. This initiative engaged students and staff in maintaining the composting system and nutrition garden, promoting awareness about waste management’s environmental impact and fostering sustainable practices.
