This Bengaluru Firm Has The World's Fastest Green Waste Composter

With "Tourism and Green Investments" as the theme for this World Tourism Day, sustainability has taken centre stage for all stakeholders. This includes travellers and technology startups actively seeking eco-friendly alternatives to combat environmental challenges, including waste management. Joining the league is Bengaluru-based "Waste Is Gold Technologies," which is revolutionising the conversion of waste by transforming it into valuable resources, driven by the vision to establish long-lasting waste disposal and treatment solutions while reducing the burden on landfills.

Sandeep Tiwari, who founded the firm in 2013, embarked on his entrepreneurial journey to fulfil his vision for environmental sustainability with innovative technological solutions. The eco-friendly venture is committed to delivering comprehensive waste disposal solutions, emphasizing ecological sustainability through inventive technology.

Backed by a dynamic team of innovators, the company achieved a significant milestone in 2016 by introducing a gold composter, claiming it to be the world's fastest organic waste composter.

This revolutionary approach accelerates the decomposition process without emitting harmful emissions, without excessive heating, and without the need for a protracted curing process. It's a green solution for waste management that's both effective and environmentally friendly. Our uniqueness is defined by its pioneering and sustainable composting technology.

From greenhouse gas reduction to improved air and soil quality, our composter delivers various environmental benefits, making it an eco-friendly and sustainable solution for organic waste management.

The processed organic waste is transformed into high-quality organic fertiliser, contributing to sustainable agriculture and closing the waste management loop. This approach also strongly emphasises minimising environmental impact, as it prioritises localised waste processing, reducing the carbon footprint associated with waste transportation and centralised processing. Simultaneously, Waste is Gold supports the sorting and recycling inorganic dry waste into various categories, such as plastics and metals, promoting a circular economy and reducing landfill waste.

Prestige Royal Gardens, a prominent South India builder, faced significant waste management challenges. Its Organic Waste Converter (OWC) machine was causing numerous issues, including emission of methane gas, foul odours and consuming excessive electricity due to its continuous 24-hour operation. The Residents Welfare Association (RWA) was dissatisfied and discontinued the machine's use, raising concerns about the health and environmental impacts. Upon inspection, we discovered that the existing machine was more of an incinerator than a composting machine, burning waste at temperatures of 70-100 degrees Celsius. This process led to the emission of foul odours, methane gas, and charred compost, which were problematic, especially in a residential community with children and elderly citizens. As a result, we replaced the existing OWC machine with our innovative Gold Composter, designed to process organic waste efficiently and without the drawbacks of strong odours or harmful gas emissions.
