Turn Waste into Value,
Reduce Your Carbon Footprint.
India generates over 150,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste daily. Orcci Eco provides innovative solutions to transform this challenge into environmental and economic opportunities. Start by understanding your impact.
Calculate Your ImpactUnderstand Your Waste & Carbon Footprint
Knowing your current waste generation and its associated carbon emissions is the first step towards a greener future. Use our calculators to get estimated insights.
Waste Generation & Segregation
For households, this is the number of residents.
Basis of Data (India-Specific Averages & References)
Calculations are based on generalized waste generation rates and composition data specific to **India**, referencing publicly available reports and studies on municipal, commercial, and institutional waste streams. Exact figures can vary by specific region, city, and time period.
- **Household Waste:** Average daily generation rates for urban India are around 0.45 kg/person, with MSW typically 50-60% organic. (The Better India, Clean India Journal).
- **Restaurant Waste:** High organic content, around 0.85 kg/cover/day for organic waste. (HPG Consulting, UNEP Food Waste Index Report for India).
- **Office Waste:** Around 0.41 kg/employee/day, higher proportion of recyclables. (ResearchGate studies).
- **Hotel Waste:** Around 1.0 kg/guest/day, significant organic fraction. (NSWAI, industry estimates).
- **Hospital Waste:** 1.0-2.0 kg/bed/day, with substantial organic and non-recyclable/biomedical. (Pharmabiz, CTDT).
- **School Waste:** Around 0.1 kg/student/day, mix of organic, paper, plastic. (CEEW reports).
- **General Densities:** MSW densities in India vary, 250-500 kg/m³.
Typical Waste Composition
General composition of Municipal Solid Waste in Urban India.
Trees Planted Equivalent
Each 🌳 represents approx. 110 kg CO₂e sequestered annually (5 trees * 22 kg/tree).
Environmental Impact (CO₂e Reduction)
Estimate the greenhouse gas reduction by diverting Food and Garden Waste from landfills through composting or biogas generation.
This figure updates automatically from the waste calculator above, but you can also enter manually.
Basis of CO₂e Data
CO₂e reduction estimates are based on typical emission factors for Food and Garden Waste decomposing in landfills versus being processed via composting or biomethanation. Diversion avoids methane emissions (a potent GHG) and can offset fossil fuel use (biogas) or sequester carbon (compost).
- **Landfill GHG Factor:** Approx. 0.5 kg CO₂e emitted per kg of Food and Garden Waste in landfill (due to methane).
- **Composting Avoided Emissions:** Approx. -0.05 kg CO₂e saved per kg Food and Garden Waste.
- **Biomethanation Avoided Emissions:** Approx. -0.2 kg CO₂e saved per kg Food and Garden Waste.
- **Equivalencies:** 1 car off the road ≈ 4600 kg CO₂e/year; 1 tree planted ≈ 22 kg CO₂e/year.
