Waste management is an important requirement for ecologically sustainable development. Efficient sorting of waste is a major issue in today’s society. The main goals of this discussion are to come up with solutions for the following problems using technology as a tool.

1) Reducing waste production
2) Ensuring that wastes are properly disposed
3) Recycling and re-using disposed products

“Swachh Bharat Abhiyan” or the "Clean India Mission" is India's biggest cleanliness campaign that aims to accomplish the vision of "Clean India". Waste management is an integral part of this campaign. To assist the “Swachh Bharat Abhiyan” initiative, projects may be setup to create products which are solar-powered trash receptacle and trash compactor that alerts sanitation crews of municipal authorities, when it is full.

Also E-Waste (obsolete, discarded, broken and surplus electrical and electronic devices) is of immediate and long term concern as the industry is unregulated and recycling can lead to major environmental degradation posing a major threat to human health.

Internet of Things (IoT) is a new generation technology which allows integration of small devices/gadgets with web based system .The devices send signals through sensors using constraint application protocol (CoAP), Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) etc. and interact with the web-based system using the HTTP protocol, So the existing solution architectures are getting extended.

We would like to welcome your ideas on how a smart waste management system using IoT can be implemented in order to achieve the target of “Swachh Bharat Abhiyan”.

#MyGov #CleanIndiaMission Dear sir Let us have a culture of carrying Jute Bags, Cotton Bags to Super markets, Shopping Malls etc. All india radio, Door darshan and private channels need to propagate this Idea as Social Responsibility Advertising. Govt needs to make this mandatory to avoid Plastic usage.

Government should start Daily picking of waste from households one time in a day.Otherwise people throw the waste products in nearby empty plots or any other fix areas..which leads to diseases etc.It takes time bit it should be tried in any small city..#SwachhBharatAbhiyan #SmartWasteManagement

I like the idea of giving 2 dustbins to every household.But, It does not give me confidence regarding what municipalities do with the waste.I think every municipality will collect enough waste to produce electricity.I don't perfectly know how this works but I have learned that many of European countries are purchasing waste from their neighbors to produce electricity.I think it would be very helpful for us if we get hop of this method. #SwachhBharatAbhiyan #CleanIndiaMission #IoT #MyGov

I am 72 years Young consulting Engineer [ Reverse Engineering ] & Geophysicist. I have started my career in Public Health Engineering i.e. Water Supply and Drainage Treatment Engineering. The use of Ozone Generator units right from 25 mg/hour to 25 gm./hour must be of of prime importance. They are useful in sanitising of drinking water, sewage as well as fruits & vegetables,& degrading of the industrial wastes and so on.

My idea is that to Make India clean we should be having a big machine which can take in dry or wet waste and give money back in return for those who put it. for eg every kg of dry waste will get Rs.5/- if we have such machines like ATM people will look for waste to put in and earn money. i am sure not even a single waste will be seen around.

1) Plastic bags should be banned and should encourage using cloth bags wherever possible. 2) Recyclable polythene can be distributed at a nominal cost. 3) Waste should be classified into bio-degradable and non-bio and collected by authorities. Companies with DSR should be encouraged to invest in these schemes for every chosen limit for collection and sending it to bio-compost pits. Manure generated can be used to plants within those limits.

We have to learn from foreign countries like japan, US,UK that what they are doing to waste management; first make less use of plastic; use cloth bags;classified dry and wet waste;drainage water filter plants should be established; don't use plastic plates; cups; gobar gas plants make use of waste foods;dung;other paper waste; Chemical factories should be prohibited from throwing Chemical waste in ground; Ankleshwar is one of the polluted city of Gujarat. We people can make the change.

Recoverable materials that are organic in nature, such as plant material, food scraps, and paper products, can be recovered through composting and digestion processes to decompose the organic matter. This organic matter recycled in the form of compost which can be used as manure in agricultural as well as landscaping purposes. methane gas can also be extracted from organic waste which can be used for generating electricity. WASTE IS NOT WASTE #smartwastemanagement

Plastic bags can be used for making roads which more durable and better than normal tar roads. Bangalore already have this kind of roads. This will reduce amount of waste plastic bags which are non-biodegradable. #smartwastemanagement
