Waste Management

•Everyday we see lots of waste i.e. plastic waste, solid waste, e-waste, medical waste, construction waste and agriculture waste are generated in every house, locality and City. We saw that out of total waste collected only 20% of the waste is processed and 80% of the waste is landfilled. We began to research on the waste collection methods, distribution and recycling system. And we discovered that insufficient infrastructure for waste collection, as well as a dearth of effective sorting and recycling methods, are India's main issues.Additionally, we discovered that by 2025, the Indian "Waste-to-Energy" and Waste Management Market is expected to present a $14 billion opportunity. As a result, we saw this as an opportunity to grow and start addressing the key issues with inventiveness and cutting-edge technology, eventually coming up with a plan for India's waste management system.

Waste management is a critical issue globally, India produces 62 million tonnes of waste annually, with 70% collected, and only 12 million tonnes treated, while 31 million tonnes end up in landfills. This is due to poor,

vPoor waste management - ranging from non-existing collection systems to ineffective disposal -causes air pollution, water and soil contamination. Open and unsanitary landfills contribute to contamination of drinking water and can cause infection and transmit disease.

We came up with a solution i.e. “Clean and Sanitation Application with waste segregator”. This application enhances proper waste management system by adding value to the waste.

•

•Different types of the waste like plastic, e-waste, construction wate etc… can be collected separately by using this platform. The collected waste is treated i.e. Recycled or Reused or Recovered,

•

•The user will get rewarded coins or vouchers depending upon the waste he collected and credited into the reward wallet. These coins can be used to avail in app purchases, buy e-commerce vouchers or convert into money.

•

•The stakeholders who need this waste as raw materials for different purposes can connect and buy the waste from this platform.

•

•The Overall process from collection to regeneration is explained with the help of application user interfaces i.e.

Waste segregator is a device which separate bio degradable and non bio degradable waste separately into a bin. This can be setup at home, community or in public places.It is a device to segregate biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste into different components of a Bin. The non biodegradable waste can be recycle or reuse and can generate revenue from waste and biodegradable waste can also be treated and we can manufacture biogas or manure from it. Depending upon the sector we can manufacture different sizes of the Bin. This bin if setup at every locality then there will be segregation of waste at source and save environment from soil, water and air pollution.
