OUTLINE
• A comprehensive waste management model encouraging in-source
segregation
• Recycle whatever is possible to fund the process
• Whatever is not recyclable to be dumped in scientific ways
• Attacking the ills of the prevailing municipal waste collection
system
• Replicable modular approach based on townships
We have started from IIT Kharagpur campus and plan to diversify through other townships situated close to rural areas

CHANGES IN THE SYSTEM
Recommending people to use separate
trash bins: voluntary segregation.
Municipality trying to recycle everything:
government body, not suitable for business.
Waste lying on the road for long. Waste is
a liability, recycling is only a fashion.
Direct monetary incentive for segregated
waste to domestic consumer. Carefully
planned collection from commercial
consumer.
Business entity. Direct incentive of worker
to perform well.
Waste is the required raw material to
survive, recycling is utmost urgent.
TRIED, TESTED AND FAILED PROPOSED MODEL
