'The DEAD Food Truck' offers the Bulk Waste Generators (BWGs) a solution at their Doorstep @ Zero Cost. The Vehicle equipped with a set of machinery processes the organic waste On-Site. Whilst this process fulfills the norms laid out in the 'Solid Waste Management (SWM) Rules', it ensures that the entire waste generated by the BWG is processed and doesn't reach the Landfills.

'Kachra' as it is often called; is the same substance that has kept humanity alive for thousands of years – 'The Food'. It is rather surprising and obnoxiously contradictory the way food turns from delicacy to 'kachra' in a span of a few hours or even minutes. The millennials love food & like to spend a huge amount on F&B; and the proof of the same is thriving online food delivery models such as 'zomato' and the flourishing restaurants and eateries across the city.

Let’s lay down the complete life cycle of ‘Food’- From the kitchen of your home or the restaurant to your dining table / plate, and then from relishing the palate & appreciating the magic of the chef till your stomach can take no more - To the Bin, where the left overs are thrown and from the exquisite delicacy, it converts to mere ‘kachra’ in a jiffy. What was being appreciated a while back suddenly becomes untouchable and filthy the moment the food changes its address from the plate to the bin. The humble food that keeps us alive suddenly turns into a liability and is simply given to the garbage collecting team the next morning to be taken away without being bothered what will happen to it.

Situation gets worsened when the leftover food along with the peels and scraps of fruits and vegetables are all mixed up with other dry & sanitary trash such as single use plastic, milk pouches, plastic containers, broken glass, pizza box, diapers & sanitary pads even; and at times cat/ dog poop.

For once imagine putting your bare hand in the above bin with an intent to segregate the dry & wet waste. Most of us would be averse, rather offended to this idea, as most of us would not even so much like the idea of touching a common bin placed at a public area to throw trash; and if mistakenly our hands touch the trash bin, we would look out for hand sanitizers.

Now just imagine the plight of the ‘safai karamcharis’ who day in and day out manage and segregate your filth, just to ensure that you live the millennial lifestyle and the city doesn’t turn into piles of mountain of garbage. We claim to be a progressive nation and take pride in claiming ourselves to be in the race of becoming one of the most powerful nations worldwide. However, the idea of Educating Millennials the concept of ‘Segregation’ sounds like a complete oxymoron and really frustrating.

It is saddening to see villagers; whom the millennials at times refer to as ‘uneducated’ do a better job in managing the waste they create than the proclaimed ‘educated & sophisticated’ elite class. While our city’s skyline is one of the most modern; our conduct in terms of managing our own waste seems to be very rudimentary. At least more than 85% of the Bulk Waste Generators & Residential Associations in our millennium city have yet not been able to incorporate the concept of ‘Segregation’ in their respective societies; as apparently the residents find it really hard to keep 2 bins and put in an effort to segregate the wet & dry waste that they generate. However, it is the same people who would get into the avatar of following the rules of segregation; the moment they would step onto a foreign land, as the rules laid out in those countries are not as forgiving as in our democracy.

With the hope that one day soon in the near future the residents would inculcate the most basic attribute of ‘segregating the waste into simply wet & dry categories’; the solution to manage the waste would become smooth and efficient to the extent that we might be able to claim that not even a kilogram of waste would ever reach the landfills.

Given the pre-requisite that the waste is segregated into wet & dry waste; our customized ‘on-wheels solution’ reaches the premises of the bulk waste generator that we call ‘The DEAD Food Truck’. The vehicle is equipped with the machinery that pre-processes the wet/ organic food waste and prepares it to be converted to ‘Animal Feed’ that is then utilized to feed various living beings such as stray dogs. The entire process works in a seamless manner under the patented technology that we call as ‘Reverse Composting’, and is run by a Non-Profit Organization; ‘Be Positive Foundation’ in association with the ‘Max Xchange’ team.

Now while the segregated wet waste is being treated as raw material to be processed further to convert into animal feed; we would be happy to ‘PURCHASE the WET Waste’. The benefits gained by the Bulk Waste Generator are as follows:

• The Organic Waste is processed & doesn’t reach the Landfills
• There is NO Capital Investment required to set up a Compost room
• There is NO Operations Expense in terms of manpower cost to run the set up
• The entire investment in the set-up is done by ‘Be Positive Foundation’
• All the norms laid out by the ‘Solid Waste Management (SWM) Rules’ are fulfilled as the processing of the wet waste is happening On-Site
• The bulk waste generator starts to earn revenue from the wet waste; which was considered a liability

While Nature has been so seamlessly processing all kinds of organic waste from the humble vegetation to humans and dinosaurs, and converting the same into valuable fossil fuels and diamonds; we can with our modern thinking convert one type of food which was edible for humans to the type which is edible for animals, rather than dumping the source of our lives to landfills.
