ABSTRACT

India's growing population offers severe challenges to the availability of living space, the use of raw materials and natural resources, education, and jobs. But the growing volume of waste that each person produces every minute poses a further, grave risk. India produces an astonishing 0.1 million tonnes of trash per day. Sadly, recycling only accounts for 5% of this enormous volume of waste. Sorting the waste at the disposal level itself might be a solution to this issue. MSW is collected, transported, and disposed of in India in an unorganized and chaotic manner. Unchecked trash disposal outside of cities and towns has resulted in overcrowded dumps that are not only challenging to reclaim because of the negligent manner of disposal but also have major environmental repercussions in terms of groundwater pollution and contributing to global warming. The average lifespan of manual segregation has been shown to be shortened as a result. The lofty goal of our project is to create a mechanized system that can help save countless lives while also making the world cleaner and greener. In order to separate the trash at the disposal level, we have so suggested an automatic waste segregator. It is made to sort waste into three main categories— metallic, moist, and dry—in order to improve waste management. We have presented this proposal to start the ball rolling and contribute back to our country by establishing "Swachh Bharath" in India.
