ENVIRON HAS DEVELOPED ENTIRE SOLID WASTE RESOURCE MNAGEMENT PROJECT under the following four principles:

  1. Segregation of the “Plastic Waste” through the specific “Litter Bin” at the source.
  2. Source reduction – Encouraging the citizens for optimum reuse the solid waste and to produce compost themselves from biodegradable solid waste through their own compost pits instead of purchasing Cow dung and other manures.
  3. Proper collection of the “segregated plastic waste” from the source with the help of organized rag-pickers and others.
  4. Proper disposal of the collected “segregated plastic waste” for future use.

Why people will segregate the solid waste?

Unless and until people will get some benefit, they will never accept any additional burden and participate to segregate the solid waste at source. ENVIRON has developed a special type of litterbin specially for plastic waste made up from bamboo (biodegradable), which is named as ‘money earning litter bin’, where people will keep their plastic waste to earn money.
