S.O.R.T project to make zero waste society

 To support the “Clean India Mission” of Government of India,Indian Pollution Control Association (IPCA) & Swarn Lata Motherson Trust (SLMTT) has launched the project S.O.R.T.(Segregation of Organic Waste for Recycling & Treatment) with the support of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) at Tulip Co-operative Housing Society, Borivali West Mumbai.

Project S.O.R. T, the flagship project of Swarn Lata Motherson Trust (SLMTT), which is implemented by Indian Pollution Control Association (IPCA). The project has been implemented at 10 different locations in Mumbai.This project has been initiated as a step towards source segregation of organic waste and to produce compost from the wet waste using aneco-friendly aerobic composting technology- Aerobin. It converts organic waste into compost within 40-45 days.

The project was inaugurated by Mr. Ravindra Khot, Jr BMC Officer -R Central ward,Borivali West & Mr. Soni- Ex BMC -Executive Officer, Borviali in the presence of residents of Tulip Co-operative Housing Society and team of IPCA & ShreejiInnovEdge Solutions.

“As our landfill sites are overburdened with the waste and creating many problems like soil pollution, water pollution and global warming, IPCA etc  SLMTT have come forward with this innovative project called S.O.R.T to solve the problem of solid waste management at decentralized level that incorporates all stake stakeholders. Wet waste has more potential to release greenhouse gases, and so is best dealt at source only. If the waste is properly segregated as wet and dry waste and wet waste is composted at community/ society level itself, it will not reach to landfill sites and greenhouse gas emissions can be considerably reduced” said officials from the Swarn Lata Motherson Trust
