Innovative Idea 1: Anti-Bacterial Bio-Chemical Component
Resources aim to develop and bring to the public, the Products and Technologies through
knowledge-driven innovation activities in the area of human environmental protection.
1. Hazardous to human skin - Alcohol components remove the moisture and oil from
the skin, and causes
2. Fire hazard - Alcohol is commonly used as disinfectant on stainless steel equipment
and machineries. But Resources avoids alcohol component in the antibacterial
component because, they are flammable, Heating process is done to reduce the
volume of the waste material in second phase of waste management so it has higher
chances to catch fire. Also, alcohol damages the coated protective layer from the
equipment.
Food waste contains 90% of water. To remove the moisture existing waste management
competitors are using electricity, which consumes 1unit/1kg of waste to be processed.
Resources explored to find an alternative to reduce electricity usage, cost and time
consumption.
Possibility to heat the waste material to reduce the volume is chemical heating. Any
exothermic reaction could be principally used but naturally the rather late position in the
production line sets strict limitations.
Resources has developed a biochemical heating component it should be effective (big heat
generation from small addition), easy to use, and economic.
Relative Advantage Bunsen Burner cannot control the temperature and using an
open flame can be dangerous.
Innovations by Resources might become a biggest asset of the organisation. For any
organization patent applications will prove to be a saviour in this competitive market.
Patenting is not always a speedier process. However, protecting an invention may not always
mean filing the protection complete invention but acquiring the priority of the invention i.e.,
filing the provisional application for the inventive concept at the conceptual stage itself.
Patent filing would be done for both the bio-chemical component before October 2022,
parallelly exploring the commercial viability of the invention.

& Plan
Uniqueness &
Distinctive Features
1. Antibacterial Coating:
Waste Collection bin and feeder of the processing unit are coated with specially
designed biochemistry antibacterial components which will not affect the fertility of
the waste to ensure the safety of waste handling executives.
3. Handler safety with anti-bacterial coating to ensure the safety of executive handling
the waste material with affecting the fertility of the material.
The Proof of Concept is more of a theoretical process to checks your idea's feasibility,
prototyping is actually building a working model with very limited functionality.
The abstract idea of the Comprehensive Waste Management is developed with proof of
concept. To check the technology feasibility, customer desirability and market viability, the
abstract idea is given a physical form to understand the solution developed.
Milestone is derived with target dates to complete the low-fidelity and high-fidelity
prototype.
On 23rd Feb 2022 – Miniature model of the project plan is developed to understand how
exactly the mechanical shredder has to look with pulverisers.
On 28th Feb 2022 – Bio-chemical heating component is developed and tested at the
laboratory level.
On 04th Mar 2022 – Domestic mechanical shredder is developed which can pulverize 100 kg
of waste material in 30 minutes of time. And anti-bacterial bio-chemical component is
developed and tested with Tamil Nadu Testing House for sterility. The product passed the
sterility test to use it as an anti-bacterial component to protect the executives who handle the
waste material and to be coated on the processing equipment.

Rapid Prototype
Miniature model - LOW-Fidelity Prototyping
Low-fidelity (lo-fi) prototyping is a quick and easy way to translate high-level design
concepts into tangible and testable artifacts. The first and most important role of lo-fi
prototypes is to check and test functionality rather than the visual appearance of the product.
Low-fidelity prototypes don’t have a lot of detail, images or colours. Instead, they use
placeholders for images and text but show the flow and functionality of a solution. You can
create this type of prototype on paper, it can be a simple visualization and doesn’t require
expensive material. Storyboarding, sketching and card-sorting are three inexpensive and simple
ways to create low-fidelity prototypes.
In my Project Low-fidelity prototyping is quick and inexpensive instant model to show how
exactly the mechanical shredder looks. It helps to develop an overall view of the end solution
with minimal time and effort. On the other hand, low-fidelity prototyping has a lack of realism
and may lack validity.

Waste Management
Plan
at MR MAALIGAI, Agarm, Peravallur, Chennai 600 082
Waste management plan for MR Maaligai to conduct the trail run is established with the help
of a civil engineer Mr Kannan, KBP Constructions, Chennai.
Waste Management Plan is designed in a way which will not disturb the routine functions of
the business when the truck comes for waste pick-up. Exclusive place for waste segregation
is provided in the plan.
NPK Fertilizer
Assessment
To Assess the Concentration Level of Primary Nutrients NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus,
and Potassium)
Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are the main components of soil fertilizer. These
methods isolate each nutrient from the soil into a solution that can be analysed using turbidity
and colour to determine the concentration of nutrients present in the soil sample. Knowing
present concentration informs environmental scientists of a nutrient deficiency or surplus in
soils used to support plant production, and also provides general insight into basic
biogeochemical cycles of an ecosystem
Under Scheme, the government issues soil health cards to the farmers over a period of 2
years. This scheme helps the government to promote Soil Health Management. This scheme
is aimed to reduce the use of fertilizers and to maintain the nutrient balance in soil for
enhanced productivity by testing soil samples in all the states/UTs of the state.

Evaluating
Prototype Journey to MVP
The intervention so for created for prototype can process the waste by reducing the size and
volume of the waste materials collected from food eateries and marriage halls.
To create a Minimum Viable product from prototype, the below components and developed
to create the go-to market product.
Creating a user journey mapping during the trail run in MR Maaligai, Comprehensive waste
management would get a full run of all the three phases.
Starting from website, tele calling team, truck contract, waste collection executives for waste
collection phase.
Pulverized, processed and dried waste material will be mixed in the assimilator with NPK
(Nitrogen, potassium & Phosphorous) to produce NPK fertilizer and packed with a manual
packaging machine.
Team Resources will work on the testing the user experience and their feedbacks will be
collected to iterate the development process to redefine the product to make it perfect-fit for
the user’s pain point.
Parallelly,
Marketing plan will be structured for Comprehensive Waste Management in digital platform
and also direct target market.
Conclusion
On-site food waste systems are alternatives to landfill disposal and can facilitate
compliance with the proposed waste ban. These systems can be used as an alternative or a
complement to off-site composting of food waste. While interviews with experts in the
industry using these technologies indicate general success at reducing the volume and weight
of food waste generated, a number of potential concerns also came to light. Many of these
systems are relatively new to the market and have not been thoroughly tested. While our
Management program, MR Maaligai, Agarm, Chennai has agreed to conduct the trial run.
Also point to the need for careful planning and due diligence prior to purchase.
