This project, part of the Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban, aims to convert green waste into valuable resources, enhancing environmental sustainability and reducing pollution. The facility will process green waste, generate revenue for the Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC), and offer an alternative to coal by producing wooden pellets. This plant represents a crucial advancement in innovation, circular economy, and eco-friendly waste management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Highlights of the Green Waste Processing Plant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Project Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Location:<\/strong>\u00a0Bicholi Hapsi, Indore<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Developed Under:<\/strong>\u00a0Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Execution Model:<\/strong>\u00a0Public-Private Partnership (PPP)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Land Area<\/strong>: 55,000 square feet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Private Partner:<\/strong>\u00a0Astronomical Industries Private Limited<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Waste Processed:<\/strong>\u00a0Wood, branches, leaves, and flowers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Green Waste Processing and Revenue Model<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indore produces about 30 tons of green waste every day, and that number jumps to around 60-70 tons in the autumn months.The Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) makes Rs 3,000 for every tonne of wood and branches they supply. The facility will turn this wood waste into wooden pellets, providing a sustainable alternative to coal. Major institutions will send their green waste directly to the plant, all under a set fee arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Waste Transformation Process<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Large tree branches are directed to City Forest\u2019s Green Waste Processing Plant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Green waste is dried for 3-4 months, reducing moisture content by 90%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cutting-edge machines transform dried waste into fine sawdust.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The sawdust is repurposed into multiple eco-friendly products.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Applications of Sawdust and Wooden Pellets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Eco-friendly fuel:<\/strong>\u00a0Cleaner alternative to traditional burning methods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Biodegradable packaging material:\u00a0<strong>Reduces plastic usage.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Furniture manufacturing:<\/strong>\u00a0Used as a composite material for chairs and tables.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fertilizers:<\/strong>\u00a0Enhances soil quality and crop production.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Food industry:<\/strong>\u00a0Transformed into disposable, biodegradable plates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5.
