Smart Organic Waste Composter (Automatic Biodegrader)

The increasing generation of organic waste in household setups presents a rather big problem to both the environment and sanitation in terms of landfill overflow, green house emission, and odor. This paper introduces the Smart Organic Waste Composter (Automatic Biodegrader), an IoT-based gadget that is aimed at automating the composting process by mechanically mixing, aerating, drying, and monitoring the environmental conditions in real-time. The sensors for the conduct of moisture, gas, temperature, and humidity monitor the conditions of the compost, and an ESP32 microcontroller modulates the actuators according to the preset limits. The real-time system status and remote monitoring and user feedback are achieved with the help of an LCD screen and the Blynk IoT platform. The system was experimentally tested to be successful in minimizing moisture and odor and improving waste-handling productivity with the environmental correction cycles accomplished in 6-10 minutes. The suggested solution can be described as a low-cost, environmentally-friendly, and user-friendly solution that will provide a sustainable approach to the management of domestic organic wastes.
