TrashBot

TrashCon is on a mission to automate the Waste Management space with its innovations. The company already had its patent even before it came into incorporation. The company entered the market as manufacturers of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) segregators that can segregate mixed Municipal Solid Waste into biodegradable and non-biodegradable components. They also find applications in recycling units, waste to energy plants, domestic and commercial establishments and municipal corporations.

The current practice is to utilize manual segregation which gives them intermittent and infrequent input at low margin. Nearly 1 Lakh (100,000) tons of waste is generated in India everyday out of which only 5% is segregated and recycled leaving the rest to go to landfills. Traditional waste to energy plants cost millions of dollars to setup, making them economically unviable for most municipalities in India.

TrashCon has built a technology that can take any unsegregated trash and automatically segregate it into bio-waste and non-bio waste to an efficiency of 99.6%. After segregation, Bio-waste is used as manure and to produce Bio-gas, while other waste is used to make oil, plastic roads, interlocking tiles and much more! They have also developed another machine that can compressed waste into boards. 

This system occupies space not more than a room, consumes power equal to a small apartment, can be placed anywhere, requires minimal manpower to operate and saves cost of transportation, manpower by 75% and generate value. With the technology, TrashCon customers have had 100% profit margins after only 2 years of installation and 8 times increase in revenue generated by composting units. For recycling units, TrashCon has generated an 85% increase in revenue. In addition to that, they had a 90% reduction in processing time and a 70% reduction in the number of tipper vehicles required.

TrashCon technology is enabling de-centralized municipal solid waste separation using a semi-automatic Municipal Solid Waste Segregator for every 4000 households.
