Empowering communities with sustainable waste management solutions
The Decentralized Integrated Waste Management Technology designed by DRIIV in collaboration with Blue Planet is a cutting-edge solution tailored to the challenges of urban waste. This decentralized system is specifically engineered to reduce the environmental footprint of traditional waste management by processing waste locally, reducing long-haul transportation, and limiting landfill reliance. Centralized yet scalable, this technology emphasizes high recovery rates through sustainable processes like bio-methanation, plastic-to-fuel conversion, and advanced ICT-based monitoring. With a circular economy design, it upcycles waste into valuable by-products like biogas, polyfuel, and compost-grade manure, helping municipalities achieve self-sustaining waste management.
Cutting-edge technologies for comprehensive waste management
- ICT Integration and Centralized Tracking: The facility’s ICT platform ensures centralized waste tracking, with automated, transparent reporting that provides real-time GPS tracking and status updates.
- Capacity: The facility is equipped to handle up to 7,500 MT annually, diverting substantial waste from landfills and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the process.
- Economy and Renewable By-Product Use: Designed for maximum efficiency, the system recycles biogas to power waste collection vehicles and converts polyfuel to support hazardous waste processing. Compost-grade manure generated on-site is repurposed for agriculture.
- CPCB Safety Standards Compliance: The facility adheres to Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) norms, ensuring safe and compliant operations for employees and the surrounding environment.

Collection & Transportation of Waste
- Centralized Monitoring and Tracking: The ICT-based monitoring system provides real-time GPS tracking and camera integration for enhanced transparency. It ensures full traceability across the waste collection process, from source to disposal.
- Optimized Resource Allocation: Designed to maximize resource efficiency, the technology reduces the energy demands of waste transportation, cutting fuel consumption and emissions.
- Customer and Stakeholder Engagement: A centralized reporting and complaint handling system facilitates seamless communication with stakeholders, offering clear visibility and accountability for all parties.
Segregation and Processing of Waste
- High-Efficiency Waste Sorting: Waste is separated through a combination of manual and mechanized processes to achieve over 90% efficiency. This method not only reduces landfill dependency but also maximizes the recovery of reusable and recyclable materials.
- Upcycling Technologies for By-product Generation: By using advanced upcycling methods, waste is transformed into high-value by-products, such as biogas for fuel, polyfuel for hazardous waste processing, and materials like block walls and paving stones.
- Sustainable, Science-Based Processing: Waste processing methods are environmentally friendly, ensuring that minimal waste remains unprocessed. The facility’s approach includes turning organic waste into biogas and converting plastics into fuel, aligning with international best practices for eco-friendly waste management.
Scientific Waste Disposal
- Market-Ready Products from Upcycled Waste: The decentralized waste management system produces high-quality, marketable products, contributing to local economies while reducing waste.
- Inert Waste Management and Reuse: Any inert waste left after processing is transformed into construction materials like paving blocks and wave breakers, ensuring no waste is sent to landfill unnecessarily.
Sustainability & Economic Model
- Self-Sustaining Revenue Stream: Revenue is derived from user fees and the sale of by-products, making the project financially sustainable with minimal need for additional funding to cover operating expenses (OPEX).
- CSR Partnership for CAPEX: The capital expenditure (CAPEX) for setting up the facility is supported through CSR partnerships, fostering collaboration with corporate entities to drive sustainable development.
