Optimizing Waste Management

How BBMP is Monitoring Source Segregation of Waste Effectively

- 

The Unique Household Numbering System in Bengaluru enhances waste management by tracking segregated waste from individual households and improving compliance with segregation guidelines. Successfully implemented in the Dasarahalli zone, the system has led to an increase in segregation levels, optimizing recycling and composting processes, while also fostering accountability and transparency in waste management, Chandreyee Mitra, Mohammed Idris and Jai Kumar Gaurav write.

The Waste Solutions for Circular Economy Project, aimed at enhancing sustainable waste management, has introduced the Unique Household Numbering System (UHNS) to streamline waste tracking and segregation monitoring. Through UHNS, each household is assigned a unique number, which enables easy tracking of segregated waste from individual households and ensuring better compliance with waste segregation guidelines. This initiative plays a crucial role in achieving the project's objective of a circular economy by emphasizing sustainability on collection of segregated waste.
