  • Scientists at the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research in Thiruvananthapuram have developed an indigenous technology that treats biomedical waste using chemicals and converts it into manure.

Indian scientists from the Institute of Advanced Study in Science and Technology (IASST) in Guwahati have developed an eco-friendly method to treat hazardous biomedical waste using a combination of heat, pressure, and a catalyst derived from banana peels. This innovative approach, named SRJANAM (Sustainable Remediation of Biomedical Waste), utilizes hydrothermal carbonization to convert biomedical waste into non-toxic, carbonaceous materials. The process not only neutralizes pathogens but also transforms the waste into useful products like biochar, which can be used for soil enhancement or as a precursor for activated carbon. This method significantly reduces the environmental impact of biomedical waste disposal, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional incineration and chemical treatments.
