• Eco Bean is most suited for decomposition of unsegregated non-recyclable and inert Municipal Solid Waste (MSW).

• Eco Bean is completely made in India.

• The machines are currently available in various sizes ranging from 0.5 cu.m to 5.0 cu.m (as per Sawchh Bharat Mission MSWM Manual 2016). The above are sizes of the main chamber based on volume of the waste. The actual quantities of waste processed will depend on the composition of waste (i.e. moisture, mass and calorific value of the waste).

• Depending upon the quantity and composition of waste, the Eco Bean can easily integrate into a material recovery facility (MRF) or any recycling activity by attaching enabling equipment as below can be provided along with Eco Bean machine:​

  • Shredder – To reduce various waste materials to uniform shape & size for improving efficiency of the machine.

  • Deduster – To separate dust from the waste.

  • Compressor or Bailing – For reducing moisture content from the waste and smashing waste into blocks

  • Trommel – To divide waste from mud or separate big and small sized waste

  • Ballistic Machines – To auto segregate waste

• Conveyor belt - For enabling manual segregation and loading of waste into the main chamber.

Thus, the Eco Bean can be integrated along with a Material Recovery Facility (MRF).​

Every traditional method of waste management involves transporting waste to a central location and then processing it or incinerating it or recycling it. Since ‘Eco Bean’ is compact, it can be installed at various locations across multiple wards, thus decentralizing waste decomposition and waste management.

The advantages of decentralized waste management approach are:

• Saves logistics cost i.e. cost of transporting waste.

• Eliminates the need for landfill or secondary collection sites.

• Promotes increased efficiency by allowing for intervention at various points of the waste value chain, thus allowing integrating with existing solutions.

Alternatively, these machines are best suited to be deployed at landfills / dump yards to destruct legacy waste / inert waste.

India generates 62 million tonnes of waste each year. About 43 million tonnes (70%) are collected of which about 12 million tonnes are treated and 31 million tonnes are dumped in landfill sites.
