Objective: A bio-waste management project - Recycling kitchen waste to reduce and replace hydrocarbon usage to save energy

Akshaya Patra thrives to increase childrens schooling by offering them food.

On average, a kitchen delivers 100,000 meals to children per day, representing 5 tons of waste every day. Therefore, a safe and friendly environment waste disposal system was suggested by Akshaya to convert waste into energy.

The mission is to install a BioOrja plant with the capacity to recycle 1.5 tons of waste per day producing around 2,500kg of LPG equivalent per month.The boarding school will save 27,000 per annum thanks to this installation.
