Wayste
In India, the majority of the people do not take steps to manage their waste properly. That might not be the problem for a household but it’s a problem for a garbage collector. After collecting the waste, Garbage collector segregates it by going into the sewers, threatening their own lives. Not only that, the improper disposal of waste leads various kinds of pollution and climate change. The situation is very alarming and people have to understand the importance of waste segregation.
If there's one thing we can easily do to fight the mountains of garbage, it's by segregating our wet and dry waste at our home. Our proposed approach, "Wayste" is focused on forming a loop of waste generation and waste as a valuable commodity by gamifying the process of segregation at its initial stage of generation.

Around 62 million tonnes (MT) of municipal solid waste is generated per annum by over 377 million people living in 7,935 towns and cities. Out of these 62 MT of waste, only 43 MT is collected and a mere 11.9 MT is treated and the remaining 31 MT is dumped in landfill sites.

Finding Frustation Points
How might we?
Promote waste segregation at its initial generation stage (households) for better waste management. And how we can keep that waste in the loop to extend its lifecycle.
How might we gamify this whole system to motivate and urge the user for better waste management?

Wonderful Organisations
And even organic foods FROM YOUR
COMPOST
It's Wayste's one more step to promote organic manure and foods. Just like the dry waste, our users would segregate Wet Waste in the other dustbin. This intial stage of wet waste segregation provides us with infinite opportunities and also reduce the amount toxic substances from electronics and dry wastes; which as a result, would be a valuable compost. Our manure will also be available on the app for household gardening.
