Solid Waste Management
As the world grapples with the challenges of solid waste management, India decided to tackle this challenge by launching Swachh Bharat Mission in 2014. The problem we are trying to solve is threefold and interconnected.
The Problem
Ineffective Waste Collection
Waste Collection, resource recovery & disposal are unplanned & resource intensive, with
low efficiency & effectiveness. Only 70% of urban solid waste is currently collected.
Hazardous Working Conditions
Sanitation staff are often exposed to hazardous working conditions. There is little to no
focus on their human dignity and safety.
Harmful Disposal of Waste
In India, 77% of solid waste is not processed and is instead transported to open dumps.
Our Services
