Waste Management
Biodegradable Waste Management: Transforming Waste into Wealth with Sajag Organics
The Current Status of Biodegradable Waste in India
India produces a staggering amount of waste annually, with around 62 million tonnes generated every year. Approximately 50-60% of this is biodegradable waste, originating from households, agriculture, and food industries. Unfortunately, much of this waste ends up in landfills, contributing to environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Poor management practices and insufficient infrastructure exacerbate the problem, leading to the inefficient use of potentially valuable resources.
Opportunities in Biodegradable Waste Management
Effectively managing biodegradable waste offers several key opportunities
- Resource Recovery: Converting organic waste into compost, biogas, and other valuable products reduces reliance on chemical fertilizers and fossil fuels.
- Employment Generation: The waste management sector can create numerous jobs in collection, processing, and product development.
- Environmental Protection: Proper management reduces pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and the strain on landfills, contributing to a healthier ecosystem.
- Sustainable Development: Promotes a circular economy where waste is repurposed, contributing to sustainability and resource efficiency.
Waste Management Need
There is an urgent need for comprehensive waste management systems:
- Increasing Waste Volumes: Urbanization and population growth are accelerating waste generation, necessitating efficient management systems.
- Environmental Impact: Mismanaged waste leads to soil and water contamination, air pollution, and loss of biodiversity.
- Public Health: Inadequate waste disposal increases the risk of diseases and negatively impacts community health.
- Regulatory Compliance: Meeting environmental standards and regulations is essential for sustainable development.

Utilizing 10,000,000 kg of Biodegradable Waste Monthly
Sajag Organics processes an impressive 10,000,000 kg of biodegradable waste each month. By converting this waste into high-quality compost, we mitigate environmental impact and provide valuable resources for agriculture.
The Dumping Situation in India
India's waste management infrastructure is struggling to keep up with the increasing waste volumes. According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), over 90% of municipal solid waste is disposed of in unscientific landfills, causing significant environmental hazards. These dumpsites contribute to air, water, and soil pollution and are a source of methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas.
The Need of the Hour
To tackle the biodegradable waste challenge, immediate and strategic actions are essential:
- Implement Comprehensive Waste Management Systems: Develop efficient systems for waste segregation, collection, and processing.
- Promote Waste-to-Resource Technologies: Encourage the adoption of technologies like composting and biogas production to convert waste into valuable resources.
- Raise Public Awareness: Educate the public on the importance of waste management and sustainable practices.
- Strengthen Regulatory Frameworks: Enforce stricter regulations and standards to ensure proper waste management practices.
