The desire for - Cyclic Economy, Green and eco-friendly technologies and production methods - forces us to find new methods of waste minimization, waste recycling and reuse. Distillery spent wash could be a rich source of nutrients for plants. Present study was undertaken to analyse the elemental composition of four different sugar distillery spent wash in the Maharashtra State of India by ICPMS-AAS for its possible application as a source of plant nutrient for organic agriculture. Presence of sixteen elements were detected which were compared in the different distillery spent wash. It was observed that the samples involved varying amounts of essential elements which could be useful for plant growth with significant quantity of Fe, Mn, Sr, Al, K, Cr, Mo, Co, Se, Cu, and lower quantities of Ca, Pb, Ni, Mg. It was concluded that spent wash contained abundant quantity of micro and macro plant nutrients and can be used for organic agriculture.
