Objectives community waste.
To test and refine the system to ensure it is efficient,
reliable, and user-friendly.
To promote sustainable waste management practices and
support a cleaner and healthier environment for individuals
and the community.
Goal of Upcoming Six
Months (Feb-July)
To develop an IoT-based household composting unit for daily dry organic
kitchen/garden waste.
Residential Composting Model Prototype
The residential composting model is electricity-powered and comprises a single container system:
for composting and storing processed manure.
Incorporates an IoT-based alert system that sends notifications to users' mobile phones. Provides
guidance and reminders for tasks such as adding waste or emptying the container.
Ensures convenience, and engagement, and minimizes issues in the composting process.

remix powder applications.
Approximately 25 grams of remix powder
applied per week.
Use of a black sheet to cover the
composting container for heat absorption.
Consistent schedule of remix powder
application and black sheet usage optimized
microbial activity and nutrient release,
resulting in nutrient-rich compost.

Assembly & Working of Proposed Prototype
Implementation of an Arduino-based system to set and maintain desired temperature levels.
Connection of a soil moisture sensor to the Arduino for monitoring.
Activation of a motor when temperature exceeds threshold, instructed by the Arduino.
Motor driver receives commands from Arduino to give power to the connected motor for
compost powder sprinkling and grinding.
Water actuator also activated simultaneously for sprinkling water.
Motors grind or mix compost powder and water for 3-minute duration.
Monitoring of water actuator through Google Voice Control and mobile application.
Continuation of process until kitchen waste transforms into compost (Khaad).
Budget Used
till Date
The internship provided to students incurred a cost of ₹10,000/- month.
Approximately ₹22,000 has been invested in purchasing the components for the
prototype.
