Leaf Litter Processing Unit (Processing at LLPU in Bengaluru)

Budget : 4 Lakh

Innovation Type (Process/ Product): Process

About the Project:

The Koramangala 3rd Block community (RWA) has set up a LLPU, a unique initiative that processes leaf and garden waste generated in the community/ ward and converts it into usable compost. The unit is located at a public park in the area. The unit includes shredder and rotary sieves.

Step 1: Segregation of input material – recyclables (paper/ plastic kept in separate bin)
Step 2: Sieving of segregated material to remove smaller size material which need not be shredded
Step 3: Identified coarser size materials shredded and subjected to natural aerobic composting with the help of simple additives such as water and cow dung for about 15 days.
Step 4: After 15 days, material which now has started to become coarse compost, is turned again.

The final compost is then sieved through the sieving machine to get coarse and fine compost. The fine compost is used as manure for gardening and agriculture. This compost has been branded under the name of Kora3B Compost.
