Waste to Wealth: Solid Waste Recycling-cum-Demonstration Units by NBJK

04 November 2022, Ranchi-Hazaribagh: NBJK runs two solid waste recycling-cum-demonstration units at Chakla village in Ormanjhi block of Ranchi district. These make Vermicompost from cow dung and Green Millboard by scrap paper.

Last year Vermicompost Unit has prepared 430 MTs Nitrogen added balanced organic manure and frequently used by local farmers, nurseries & agriculture institutions.

On the other hand, 217.96 Metric Tonnes green millboard has been made by Millboard Unit. This good quality millboard is ideal for bookbinders, conservationists, box makers and framers seeking an eco-friendly board. The recycled material is being delivered to 22 districts of Jharkhand-Bihar.

These solid waste recycling units propagate the very idea of waste to wealth and contribute to environment conservation too.

Besides this under Clean Jharkhand phase-2 program, NBJK provides sanitation service like cleanliness, housekeeping, drainage cleaning, waste collection & delivery for two institutional clients at Hazaribagh. It collects about 50 tonnes waste annually and hands over to Municipal Corporation.

All these initiatives are self-sustained and create employment for nearly 40 persons.
