Now to our global ideas series this time were in bangalore a mega city thats known today as indias Silicon Valley its green areas once home to some 280. 00 lakes are clogged with waste a result of the citys rapid population growth. We paid a visit before the coronavirus struck to find out what residents are doing about the situation. In the heart of bangalore garbage is festering everywhere this neighborhood is literally drowning in it. Illegal dumping sites are more than just an eyesore residents complain of a fellow all day long several cases of dangle have been reported in the area. Bengal municipality has hired socalled marshals to crack down on those littering or done. Trash the motional makes the offender pick up the bag he just threw away. This guy throwing his way here yes unseparated it this is a dumping ground the garbage truck went to his house party because he woke up too late. Its 200. 00 rupees just under 3 euros for dumping household trash the citys 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 course among. Residents are meant to put their kitchen waste in a green been without linus its the end directly into the truck. But a chemistry teacher takes it upon herself to educate residents. But. Not to be so that is the only problem i think. If i lie i need to be useful but. You know. Youre sure not. To have. It is because it really long. And then. Not everyone follows the rules here all the trash has gone into one bin boys my blood because. We have been and its not rocket science. Is just. How hard is that. Entrepreneur. Encounters new dumping science daily. Well a lot of spark this has been always will work on getting both sides painting them up making but then again it reappears up with. The environmental engineer has come up with his own solution to reduce the citys waste hes joined forces with patmos rebel rum to set up a bio gas facility. I think theyre following instructions very well yeah look its a book feature that you feel granik waste from padmashree ballrooms neighborhood which would normally go to a landfill is instead brought here as a rule material. The trash has to come in well suited otherwise it means high operational costs and less bio gas. Today if its payoff it wasnt as good. This is nearly 100 percent right there is support right then post and that means to strip the flow was in all large with which i mean content but i would rate this extremely good i mean this is now good enough for by i guess. The facility process is about 600 kilograms of local kitchen waste a day turning it into. 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 go by a gas is purified here and then stored in a tank. The resulting gas brand named carbon lights is sold. What were producing as an end product is about 90 to 94 percent of meet him which means its much better than. It can displace any fossil fuel. From abuse and so at the end of the day were creating a clean Clean Renewable Energy right here in. The biggest guy is in neighboring restaurant. 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. Were demonstrated by those up the ball. Were going to stop selling those. Its Cost Effective its green here and were doing something right where. The bulk of bangalores 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 business valuable.
