They informed us that Jaipur generates about 1400 metric tons of waste per day and they have capacity to manage about 250 metric tons. All the municipal solid waste brought to the plant is converted to compost and refuse derived fuel after proper processing. They work on the method of windrow composting and the compost thus generated is sold to market and provide to farmers at low cost so that same may be used in agricultural fields. The students gain practical knowledge regarding sustainable utilization for waste and learn about the process of making compost and refuse derived fuel.
