The fruits and vegetable waste has become the highest compared with the production rate. These types of wastes had reached up to 70% by 2019-2020 as estimated by Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Improvisation of the performance of still using fibre insulation (Artocarpus heterophyllus rags and Azadirachta indica gum (AHRAIG)) has been carried out in this study.

- The research investigates the use of egg shells from Gallus gallus domesticus as a sensible heat storage material in a proposed single slope still (PSS) to improve freshwater yield compared to a conventional single slope still (CSS).
- The PSS outperforms the CSS with a yield of 2.46 L/m, which is 18% higher than the CSS's 2.07 L/m, and has better energy and exergy efficiencies.
- Utilizing egg shells not only enhances the efficiency of the still but also serves as an organic waste management solution, making the modified system more economical with lower costs for initial setup and maintenance.
