What is EM?EM is the abbreviation of Effective Microorganisms, originated by Dr. Prof. Teruo Higa at the Ryukyus University, Okinawa, Japan in the early 1980s.It is a consortium of selected microbes like Lactic Acid bacteria, Photosynthetic bacteria and yeast. All these are mutually compatible with one another and co-exist in liquid culture below a pH of 3.5.The microorganisms are not Genetically engineered, exotic or imported. They are produced in our factory in Kolkata.All microbes are facultative. They exhibit both aerobic and anaerobic characteristics.They work in a wide range of temperatures, salinity and pH values.Maple EM.1 is certified as an Organic input by ECOCERT, France and is now being used in over 126 Countries worldwide.

SUMMARYWater is only a limited resource and it circulating.EM helps to recover an ecosystem, the basis for cleaning the water.EM process will convert contaminants into useful resources.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT WITHOn 13-10-ProOn 13-10-2015 at NASSCOM Product conclave

Conversion of kitchen waste intoOrganic composting kitFrom plate to plant

44Recommendations of Supreme court of India for SWM wide gazette no-6481 dated 25th sep 2000Waste should be stabilized before putting in landfill.Waste should be treated by eco friendly method using Microbial Culture.Waste should be treated by composting , anaerobic digestion so that it will not give adverse effect on human health & environment

08-Nov-1544

45Environmental Impact of Land FillingUntreated solid waste will lead to the formation of leachate which will flow into underground water & contaminate the surrounding area.The land fill site will become unfit for plantation.If the solid waste is treated with effective microbes we can prevent the above mentioned ill effect to a large extent.

Use of latest Machinery & Technology Planned methodology in getting the Maximum use & benefit to all the people involved in the process of SWM.Make the Every Team member in the Waste collection to process and Dispose to get their share of revenue.Team consists of Poura Karmika and citizens/self-help group etc.

46

Example 1We propose that every Door to Door Waste collector be paid by the Individual house owner & BBMP Rs 1=00 Per day X 30Days=30/-Per Month and if he is given 200 House to collect his monthly Income will works out Rs 6000/- (Currently this is working in some Parts of Bangalore but it is not compulsory.)

47

Pass the Rule/Govt. LegislationHousehold & Kitchen waste be separated in to Dry waste & Wet waste before giving it to the collection Team. Like wise the collection Team also be equipped to collect the same in two different containers.(VERY IMPORTANT)Wet Degradable waste be sent for Composting process.

48

Dry waste be for recycling or for Land fill after EM Treatment(Bio culture treatment).Dry waste-Agriculture/garden waste and any other form of degradable material can be shredded with different types of shredders such as wet and dry kitchen waste and heavy duty shredders.

49

50

Advantages of shreddingReduction in volume of degradable waste.Reduction in composting time.Elimination of foul odor.51

Advantages of EM1 Reduction in composting time Less land requirement Better Quality of Compost Less or No Turnings Required Potential for treatment at source i.e. Decentralized Approach Reduction in generation of gases No Foul Odor Reduction of Fly/ Mosquito nuisance52

53OBJECTIVES:-To manage waste naturallyTo reuse/recycle/recover wasteTo minimize the health hazard by safe handling

By Land Fill and/or By Composting ..at lowest possible cost

EM- Compost Ready for Use After 45-60 days

81BETTER QUALITY OF COMPOST Higher Nutrient and Micro-nutrient levels leading to better enrichment of soil and better yields Ability to turn any barren land into cultivable land Enhances Photosynthesis activity in plants Protects plant roots from pathogens Enhances plant immune mechanism Particularly in Rice cultivation, it reduces the methane generation, thus protecting the environment and the health of farmers. A perfect tool for Organic Farming

82A windrow of 6-7 ft height is best. The height shrinks with time.

87 The benefits are:

1)Protection of environment and health of workersEM is a very eco-friendly solution, therefore, the currently used chemical solutions, which have a very hazardous side effect on environment and on the health of dumping site workers, can completely be eliminated.

2)High quality organic compostThe solid waste, after treating with EM for a rapid degradation, can be used as a high quality compost in agro fields. It realizes the ideal recycling system in solid waste management/agriculture.

88

The benefits are :

3)Low cost applicationBecause EM is self propagating, the cost of the application for the huge garbage heaps, could be just a few hundreds rupees per day. It is a very cost effective as compared to the various chemical solutions.

4) Easy MaintenanceEM microbes create strong anti-oxidation effects and prevent early corrosion of the facilities such as ageing of concrete wall and rusting of metal parts. Thus, it greatly minimizes the need of maintenance or parts replacement over a long period.
