An Approach to Smart Waste Segregation using IOT

Abstract


Rapid growth in population, urbanization, and economic development has a huge impact on the increasing amount of waste that is being generated. According to an estimate, the amount of solid waste produced in a year is about 2.01 billion tones. By 2050, the predicted growth in the amount of waste generated will be increased to 3.04 billion. The correct collection, segregation, and disposal of the solid waste produced are major problems in many nations today. Improper techniques used for the same can result in a number of environmental risks and have an effect on the nation's residents' health. The important step involved in recycling waste is its proper segregation. This is better utilized if the segregation is at the source itself. There is currently no technology that can separate solid trash into multiple categories at the point of generation itself, such as glassware, plastics, metallic garbage, and wet waste. We aim to sort the wastes into the aforementioned categories using the various sensors that are available because the majority of solid waste, such as glass and plastics, is recyclable. By automating the process of sorting, we reduce the amount of labor that is necessary for sorting, which lowers the occupational hazards of the manual workers.
