A Tamil Nadu start-up has hit upon the perfect solution for India’s overflowing landfills – it segregates waste, creates an alternative fuel for industries and ensures complete reclamation of land.

Studies reveal that Indian cities generate 100 million tonnes of waste annually, putting India on the road to becoming the world’s largest producer of waste. Rapid urbanisation has meant that dumping grounds that existed on the outskirts of cities 50 years ago have now become a part of their bustling suburbs. Add a steadily increasing population to this scenario and the future looks grim indeed – the municipal corporations of most cities are grappling with finding solutions to problems they are ill-equipped to handle.

Enter Zigma Global Environ Solutions with an answer: bio-mining.

In March 2015, five individuals from different walks of life came together, wanting to do something that was socially useful. Around the same time, Prime Minister Modi announced the Swachh Bharat mission. “It was like a sign,” recalls Nagesh Prabhu, one of the founding members of Zigma. A meeting with Almitra Patel, Member of the Supreme Court Committee for Solid Waste Management, helped push things forward: “She really encouraged and guided us.”
