This paper proposes a Bio-Digester Bin engineered to accelerate the decomposition of sanitary napkins through an integrated mechanical–thermal–aeration approach. The system incorporates a shredding mechanismtoincreasesurfacearea,a500Wcontrolledheatingcoilformaintainingoptimaldegradation temperatures,atemperaturesensingrelaymoduleforautomaticthermalregulation,anda12Vaeration unit to support oxygen flow and reduce odor formation. The bio-digester operates on a hybrid power setupusingbothsolarenergyandconventionalsupplytoensure continuous functionality. Experimental results indicate a substantial reduction in decomposition time and waste volume compared to natural degradation. This solution has strong potential for municipal-scale adoption, enabling local bodies to manage sanitary waste more scientifically, sustainably, and with reduced environmental impact.
