Solid waste (wet & dry), liquid waste, construction & demolition waste, e-waste (electronic & electrical), hazardous/industrial waste, biomedical waste, plastic waste… the list is long.

It’s sewage from a home or community and contains human waste and wash water. It includes toilet, bath, laundry, lavatory and kitchen sink wastes. Its composition is typically about 99.9% water and 0.1% organic and inorganic impurities.

It’s the discharge from facilities involved in manufacturing, such as pharmaceuticals, paper and textiles, chemical processing, oil and gas refining, etc. This sewage usually has a high chemical concentration.

Composting is a controlled process that converts organic materials (wet/biodegradable waste) into a nutrient-rich soil amendment or mulch through natural decomposition. The end product is compost – a dark, crumbly, earthy-smelling material that boosts plant growth.

For you: Save money on electricity bills, ensure uninterrupted power supply, heat water, etc. For nature: Fewer air pollutants such as sulphur dioxide and particulate matter. Reduced Greenhouse gas emissions.

During monsoon, rainwater is collected and stored in natural reservoirs (aquifers) and artificial/manmade reservoirs (tanks). This water can be used for flushing, washing, gardening, irrigation and even consumption with necessary treatment.

This depends on your specific requirement. AlterEnergyZ will survey your site/premises, conduct, if necessary, a waste audit (how much waste is generated, how is it disposed, etc) and give you an estimate of time period and costs. In general, a biogas system for a household generating 3kg of wet waste a day costs Rs. 40,000-45,000 plus taxes, while a sewage treatment system for a household costs Rs. 65,000 plus GST.

Yes. We also offer, on a case-to-case basis, maintenance of systems not set up by us.

No; we help you get the subsidies by liaising with the respective government agency.

• Segregate your waste. Use a composting bin or a biogas plant for your wet waste and give your dry waste to a scrapyard or to scrap collectors. A composting bin will give you compost, a biogas plant will give you gas for your cooking stove and also compost.
• Use a solar power system for heating water and also for backup power (inverter).
• Use natural/organic products in your home, car, etc.
• Ask a waste management company like AlterEnergyZ to visit your housing society and explain the economic and ecological benefits and the setting up processes of a sewage treatment plant, biogas plant, biomass management setup, rainwater harvesting setup, etc.
• Most setups are one-time investments and offer subsidies.

• Segregate your waste and give your dry waste to a scrapyard or to scrap collectors.
• Use a biogas plant for food and biodegradable waste (husk, coconut shells, garden waste, etc.). Use the gas generated to supplement your cooking gas requirements and the compost generated in your garden.
• Invest in a solar power setup to supplement your electricity, backup power and for heating water.
• Set up a sewage treatment plant or use the no soak pit option from AlterEnergyZ to convert your sewage into greywater for your flush, garden etc.
• Use natural/organic products in your home, car, etc.
• Most environmentally-friendly setups are one-time investments and offer subsidies.

• Depending on the size and nature of the business/industry, invest in a sewage treatment plant to manage sewage and/or industrial waste (if manufacturing is involved).
• Solar power will reduce or even rid your dependency on external electricity supply. In some cases, you may even be able to sell electricity back to the grid.
• Most setups are one-time investments and offer subsidies.
• Natural/organic products used on your premises, in your vehicles, etc, will further reduce your carbon footprint.
• Be part of environmental efforts, such as AlterEnergyZ’s social causes, to earn Green points on taxes, etc, and earn a positive name for your company.

• Great! Invest in a biomass management setup (where your dry wastes can be stored and collected), composting bins or a biogas plant for your wet and biodegradable waste, a sewage treatment plant, and a solar energy system.
• Most of these setups and systems are one-time investments and offer subsidies.
• Install sanitary napkins’ incinerators.
• Use natural/organic products on your premises, in your vehicles, etc.
• Have waste management companies like AlterEnergyZ conduct awareness drives for your institutes’ students, staff, parents, etc.
