Autonomous Device for Converting Food Waste into Fertilizer

The study relies on the development of a device that helps in decomposition of wet waste such as food and more wastes like it. The prototype focuses on developing a device that converts food waste into fertilizer without any of the human intervention. Old traditional method depends on digging a larger pit in which all the wet waste is dumped and turned into a compost. Compost is a term that defines the process of converting the food waste which helps in turning the normal soil into a nutrient rich soil that enhances the vitamins and nutrients of an individual plant or tree grown on the soil. Fertilizer is a more relative term to compost but here the type of producing it and the utilization totally differs. A fertilizer helps in increasing the growth rate of a plant rapidly by acting as an additional source of nutrient. Also, the traditional method takes more than 30 to 90 days for completely converting the food waste into a useful compost. So, this device helps in converting the food waste into fertilizer faster than the traditional process and making it a more profitable product for each and every individual who use this device.

Abstract

The study relies on the development of a device that helps in decomposition of wet waste such as food and more wastes like it. The prototype focuses on developing a device that converts food waste into fertilizer without any of the human intervention. Old traditional method depends on digging a larger pit in which all the wet waste is dumped and turned into a compost. Compost is a term that defines the process of converting the food waste which helps in turning the normal soil into a nutrient rich soil that enhances the vitamins and nutrients of an individual plant or tree grown on the soil. Fertilizer is a more relative term to compost but here the type of producing it and the utilization totally differs. A fertilizer helps in increasing the growth rate of a plant rapidly by acting as an additional source of nutrient. Also, the traditional method takes more than 30 to 90 days for completely converting the food waste into a useful compost. So, this device helps in converting the food waste into fertilizer faster than the traditional process and making it a more profitable product for each and every individual who use this device.
