Biodegradable unit – improving environmental impact
Biodegradation is the most critical mechanism for the total removal of chemicals from the environment. It is nature’s way of getting rid of wastes by breaking down organic matter into nutrients that can be used by other organisms. As a result, the ability of a chemical to biodegrade is an indispensable element in the understanding of any risk posed by that chemical on the environment.
SledgeHammer Foundation has joined hands with HumanKind Foundation to support their biodegradable unit. The Foundation, with the help of the MC, is working to generate manure out of waste. The process involves collecting garbage from door to door, segregating it and processing it.
The Faridabad MC had allotted land to the Foundation to facilitate segregation and processing of waste. The Foundation has installed a machine with the capacity of generating 500 kg manure every day, where the waste is processed into manure.
