Housing society in Pune uses leftover food to light its parks

Four years ago, Savitri Bai Patil associated garbage disposal with smelly, rotten piles of garbage lying in her neighborhood in Pune.

However, the streets of the Ashok Meadows housing complex where she lives are now clean, with workers regularly picking up trash from residents' doorsteps and converting some of it into electricity.

Since 2017, the complex has been depositing its food waste in a digester, which converts it into biogas, which is used to power the streetlights, social club, park and gym.

similar to the one used in Ashok Meadows. More than 75 biogas generators are now installed across India.

According to company president Jalaj Kumar Chaturvedi, the EnergyBin systems, developed by Pune-based Xeon Waste Managers (XWM), enable communities to convert waste into free, renewable energy.

The complex's system has helped remove nearly a ton of waste per day, according to Ashok Meadows resident Rishika Mahalley.

According to Mahalley, the complex spent about 550 rupees, or $7.50 a day, on electricity for streetlights and other community utilities before the plant was installed, a price that has now all but disappeared.

Residents can also save up to Rs 6,000 or $82 per month on municipal waste disposal.
