Waste to Wealth Innovative Technologies LLP

Waste to Wealth Innovative Technologies LLP wrote: We develop microbial processes to treat dairy waste water to generate value added product like biofertilizer that can replace use of chemical fertilizer and fresh water for irrigation. The crop production increases, ensuring healthy food, the fresh water misuse (90%) for agriculture is stopped while the dairy industry saves on land use for effluent treatment plant construction (reduced by 75%), saves on electricity for processing (by 90%), reduces time of treatment (7. 5times) and hence efficiency of the plant. In addition they become a zero discharge company which produces biofertilizer... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad
