Our enterprise addresses growing concerns around the sanitation issues of spitting in public and liquid waste. Our innovative solution curbs the menace of paan or tobacco spitting and the rising deaths due to communicable diseases like Tuberculosis (TB) and Swine Flu. Similarly, organic liquid waste is mostly disposed of in sewage or dumped in open areas, causing air, land and water pollution. We provide the world's first spit pack for TB, Swine flu patients and Paan Consumers and organic liquid disposal bin. It solidifies spit, liquid or vomit and converts it into hybrid fertiliser in 10 seconds, made up of food grade and Environmental Protection Agency verified biodegradable material. The world's first spit pack comes in three sizes: a pocket pack for individuals; the mobile pack for cars, buses etc. and a commercial pack for public places which can take in 2500-2800 spits. We have already gauged demand in hospitals, hotels, corporates, public institutions and individuals. We are converting waste to value. We are providing these organic hybrid fertilisers to farmers for agricultural use at a cost of 4Rs/kg helping increase seed sprouting and seeding development.
