THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW COMPOSTING EQUIPMENT FOR KITCHEN WASTE

Description

From the perspective of product innovation, this project aims to solve the kitchen waste generated in people's daily lives and degrade it into organic fertilizers. This will reduce the waste of land resources and air pollution caused by waste incineration and landfill, reducing the government's financial pressure to realize society's sustainable development and resource reuse. China has strengthened its garbage disposal policies in some areas, such as Beijing and Shanghai. Under the pressure of such policies, residents need to install a garbage disposal device at home to achieve garbage sorting. Most residents will choose the connected garbage processor (kitchen waste is directly flushed into the sewer through the garbage crusher). This kind of product has high efficiency and has higher requirements for water pollution and water treatment. The project aims to develop a new intelligent kitchen waste composting equipment, which belongs to an independent kitchen waste processor. The research and design will combine resource reuse, adopt the technological method based on microbial natural for degradation of kitchen waste, and combine artificial intelligence to accelerate the breaking down the process and shorten the composting cycle. This is through the research process for understanding users' awareness of garbage classification and environmental protection measures, which currently suffer from the pressure of no policy. The proposed design scheme's target users will be families with planting and flower raising habits, strong environmental protection awareness, and certain economical income levels. The proposed design scheme is to design an intelligent and efficient kitchen waste disposal (independent type) - intelligent composting box. The goal of this design is to help users to classify waste more easily and to solve the problem of kitchen waste treatment. In this case, it can also produce organic fertilizer as a growing compound.
