What is waste?
Waste can be defined as useless,
unwanted and discarded materials
coming from production and
consumption.
Such as kitchen garbage, Bio-
degradable municipal waste
(BMW), municipal solid waste
(MSW) etc.

Solid waste management has
become a serious environmental
problem all over the world.
Resource recovery from solid
waste and Recycling is considered
as a viable management option.
3
Recycling is a key component of ３R the
"Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" waste hierarchy.

Characteristics of residential waste:

Developing countries Industrialized countries
A Large Portion of Total Waste is Biodegradable waste both
in Developing and Industrialized countries

According to Power Ministry,
Bangladesh produces up to 4,000MW of electricity everyday against a minimum daily demand for 6,000MW.
In the rural areas the demand stands at some 2,400 MW per day but the
Rural Electrification Board (REB) can supply barely half of that.
In the world, 1.4 to 1.6 billion people
according to the U.N. live without
electricity!!
7
Energy, in any form, plays the most important
role in the modern world. We need energy
especially Green electrical energy in our daily
needs .
Purpose of study
To develop a Microbial Fuel cell by using the
kitchen garbage (KG) for bio-electricity
generation
To convert/recycled KG for soil conditioner
by Hybrid composting method as a by-
product of bio-electricity.

Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC)
10
What is MFC???
Microbial fuel cell (MFC)s are bio-
electrochemical devices which convert
biomass into electricity through the
metabolic activity of the microorganisms.
Living Bacteria generate electricity in the normal course of metabolizing nutrients.
This metabolic process delivers sustainable, renewable, commercially valuable electricity.
