Waste-to-Resource: Unlocking Green Waste Recycling

Green waste, everything from food scraps to garden clippings, represents one of the most underutilized streams in India. Instead of being landfilled or incinerated, green waste can be transformed into compost, biogas, or biofuels. For plant owners, this opens doors to new revenue models and partnerships with municipalities seeking sustainable waste solutions.

Globally, cities like San Francisco and Copenhagen have built green waste recycling into their core sustainability strategies. In India, urban expansion and swelling organic waste volumes make this an urgent opportunity. A well-designed green waste plant not only reduces landfill pressure but also creates valuable outputs, soil conditioners, energy, and carbon credits.

Plant owners need to focus on contamination control, efficient separation, and anaerobic digestion technology to maximize value. With increasing demand for renewable energy and sustainable fertilizers, the business case for green waste recycling has never been stronger.
