MasterBin (Mentor : Dr. Deepa G Muricken)

Dr. Deepa G Muricken from Biochemistry department mentored students of Devamatha CMI Public School for developing Master Bin. The project was selected as finalist in the state level innovation competition YUVA master mind. A combined method of mosquito trap and biowaste management process was developed. The system provides a faster rate of biowaste decomposition. The kitchen waste from houses can be converted usable manure for enriching soil and thereby increased production in agriculture field. The method is simple and easy to handle.

The waste management process developed here yielded good quality compost in very short duration than any available methods. An awareness class and waste management process using this method was given to corporate road residents association Thrissur as a community extension programme. The residents were taught to use this method for the waste management in their houses.
