Smart Waste Segregation System with Deep Learning Algorithm for Plastic Bottle Detection

An efficient waste management system relies on how good the waste segregation system is that can separate the waste into different types, biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste, for better treatment. If the biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste is segregated at the source, then the biodegradable waste can be sent to the compost plants for converting the biodegradable waste into organic compost that can be used in agriculture and other applications. But most of the time the waste is in mixed form at the source itself which leads to inefficient disposal. Although, not all the waste can be treated and will require a resting place in form of an engineered landfill, but at-least for the waste that can be treated, it should be segregated properly at the source.
