We have a hostel and two canteens at our institute, and each one has an individual mess, where a vast amount of food waste is generated every day and might be put to greater use. The project's goal was to build an anaerobic digestion plant to produce more cost-effective, eco-friendly biogas. The kitchen (food waste) was gathered from various sources throughout VIIT's Mess as a feedstock for our reactor, an anaerobic digestion unit to generate biogas fuel. Although solid waste management is a global phenomenon, inappropriate solid waste (SW) management endangers communities. Moreover, the issue of solid waste management (SWM) is also present in the academic area at VIIT, Visakhapatnam. As a result, there is an urgent need for better design and implementation of integrated SWM systems to improve the campus's environmental scenario. In addition, it needs complete information about the volume and type of SW generated and their physicochemical characteristics. Therefore, we erected batch reactors and added Inoculum from prior cow dung slurry and kitchen garbage. In a laboratory (small-scale) reactor, this mixed Inoculum produced biogas at 37°C (20L capacity). Our study uses primary digesters to determine biogas and methane production from starch-rich and sugary materials. To reduce food waste disposal, we develop and estimate the cost of a biogas plant.
