About Project
How can we design a comprehensive waste management system that optimizes segregation, treatment, reuse, recycling and disposal of dry and wet waste at household, community and national levels? Students will explore innovative strategies for effective waste segregation, develop treatment methods to minimize environmental impact and propose systems for maximizing reuse and recycling. By analyzing existing practices and identifying innovative areas for improvement, the project will offer actionable solutions to enhance India’s waste management processes. The project will nudge students towards exploring novel and innovative ways to address the unique challenges of their own cities and neighbourhoods.
