MUMBAI, India, Aug. 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411010533 A) filed by Dronacharya Group Of Institutions, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, on Feb. 15, 2024, for 'ceramic ash machine and ceramic ash bricks.'

Inventor(s) include Harshita Suri; and Dr Sangeeta Mangesh Karyakarte.

The application for the patent was published on Aug. 29, under issue no. 35/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Delhi government's environment department,daily waste generation in Urban areas face challenges in waste management, with inefficient systems causing environmental harm and health risks. Current practices lack optimization, leading to increased landfill use and low recycling rates. Waste management and sustainable material for construction purposes are two essential sustainable development goals that modern India struggles to deal with. This project aims to develop an efficient and sustainable method to repurpose waste materials, reducing the environmental impact of waste while simultaneously providing a valuable construction material alternative. According to a report by MCD and the the city has gone up from 11,094 tonnes since 2021-2022 to 11,332 tonnes in 2022-2023.(source: https://www.hindustantimes.com) In our project, we are targeting to eliminate the piling up of domestic waste. Although techniques like land fills, making manures, etc. already exist, they have been proven to be inefficient especially in urban areas due to lack of open grounds. This project will help eliminate waste pilling at primary levels i.e. on societies or colonies level. We have designed a machine called the ceramic ash machine that converts domestic waste into a compound called the 'Ceramic Ash'. It's a 3-tier machine that operates on 3 basic functions i.e. dehydration,grinding and sieving. The end product from this machine can be used to make bricks, statues, flooring, fake marble and interior designing. Further it has a future scope as an alternative fuel, as fertilizer, for thermal insulation and for waste water treatment. This ceramic ash is mixed with lime, gypsum, sugarcane pulp, plastic scraps and water to form durable, aesthetically pleasing, water resistant, economic bricks."
