12:50 am
bangalore municipality has hired so-called marshals to crack down on those littering or dumping trash the marshal makes the offender pick up the bag he just threw away. this guy is throwing his weight here yes unseparated it this is a dumping ground for garbage truck went to his house party because he woke up too late. to be found. $200.00 rupees just under 3 euros for dumping household trash the city's infrastructure is failing to cope with the unchecked development and growth once known as the garden city bangalore now has a new nickname garbage city. some have had enough. every morning. inspects the trash pick up in her neighborhood of koramangala. residents are meant to put their kitchen waste in the green been without linus its
12:51 am
then down directly into the truck. when a chemistry teacher takes it upon herself to educate residents. yes but i love mark brady either i get it they are. going to admit it and no one used it but we can put plastic you know in the way to be so that is the only problem i see. if i lie i need to be you speak but you should not because it has you know. so you're sure not it's a very dangerous to have. you just because it really compost along with your food and then we need to say made a difference. not everyone follows the rules here all the trash has gone into one bin boy's my blood because. we have and it's not rocket science it's just separated and how hard is that.
12:52 am
entrepreneurs some not only on encounters new dumping science daily has a lot of spark this. painting them up making but then again it goes up with. the environmental engineer has come up with his own solution to reduce the city's waste he's joined forces with machinery ballroom to set up a bio gas facility. i think they're following instructions we were looking so full featured that you feel gammick waste from padma shri ballrooms neighborhood which would normally go to a landfill is instead brought here as a rule material. the trash has to come in wells was hit otherwise it means high operational costs and less bio gas. today if it's payoff people said disagree. this is your 100 percent right. but needs to strip
12:53 am
the floor was an alert with the child but he had been content but i would be at this extreme i mean this is no. the facility processes about 600 kilograms of local kitchen waste a day turning it into slurry the actual plant is further away built in refurbished shipping containers on land provided by the local authorities. there is also a business model the bow by a gas is purified here and then stored in a tank. the resulting gas brand named carbon life is sold. what we're producing as an end product is about 90 to 94 percent of meet him which means it's much better than. it can displace any fossil fuel. from abuse and so at the end of the day we're creating a clean clean renewable energy right here and. the biggest
12:54 am
guy is a neighboring restaurant the gas is piped in from just 200 meters away. the restaurant is hugely popular the kitchen uses about 70 kilograms of bio gas a day which is also cheaper than conventional cooking gas. or demonstrated your pipe for that from having all your old. we don't have the stocks in and of your own at risk because you know it's cost effective it's good really and we're doing something pretty and right where. the bulk of bangalore's waste is driven 40 to 50 kilometers outside the city there are no official dumps within the city anymore for the $5000.00 tons of garbage bangalore generates every single day. some not only on has scaled up his operations to help keep more waste out of landfills and make his
12:55 am
business buyable. about 13 tons of food waste arrive at this plant north of bangalore every. the mighty parks and corporate campuses. about $7000.00 jobs have been created here to buy a gas plant. unlike the facility in the city it also compresses the gas it's then bottled into senators that can be shipped to customers across bangalore. our dream is to have this across india with coming into this business. it's a win win for the country as well as creating more jobs and creating energy security. something that i own has already expanded into 2 moves states he plans to continue growing the waste to fuel business model could be a viable way for famu indian cities to clean up their act.
