Food waste, regardless of scale, is a worldwide issue with financial, environmental, legal, and health implications. More food is produced and wasted as the global population grows and urbanization expands, with serious environmental and publichealth repercussions, particularly in urban areas. Cities around the world are expressing a need for help with food waste as one of the largest environmental problems they face. This is where Solwearth Ecotech comes in, specializing in the food waste management system. Solwearth Ecotech has set standards while revolutionizing the industry with its innovative product that can address food waste management needs in various industrial verticals.
Solwearth Ecotech was commenced in 2017 by Haroon S. and Aravind P. S. with the sole purpose of contributing back to society. Aravind and Haroon were childhood friends who played and studied together before embarking on their respective professional paths. Around eight years ago, Aravind and Haroon met at an alumni gathering wherein they shared a common desire to do something for the society that would have a significant beneficial influence.
As CSR activities, they decided to assist and find a solution in waste management in the community they reside in and began looking into options for effective waste management technologies. But to their surprise, no major technology existed
elsewhere in the globe to efficiently manage waste. They reasoned that if no technology is available elsewhere in the world, why not give it a shot? So that’s when the affiliation seed of Solwearth Ecotech was sown with the intent of giving back to society in the meantime, it provided them a fantastic business opportunity as well.
It took them nearly a year to conduct market research all across the world and determine that the main issue was biodegradable waste. So they formed proficient R&D, engineering, and market research teams to build a product. It required another 18 months to come up with the prototype, followed by a year of testing in various regions of the country under varied climatic weather conditions and so on before the final product was released. Essentially, it took over three and a half years of hard work and investment before they actually could launch the product on the market.
Haroon, Founder & Chairman adds, “There are numerous methods for managing biodegradable waste, wherein composting is considered as the most popular one. Composting is a good method of recycling food waste back to nature where it may take anywhere between 30 days to six months. But when it comes to urban areas comprising 5-star hotels, apartments, or villa complexes, composting is infeasible”, Solwearth Ecotech, backed by a proficient team of engineers developed waste disposal product that can convert 90 percent of the input volume in just 24 hours and only gives back 10 percent which is a good soil supplement for the garden.

Currently, Solwearth Ecotech is present in 10 states in India as well as operational on the international front.
