Work Package 1
Development of a socio-economic model to motivate Delhi NCR population for segregation of household waste
The project envisages demonstration of self-sustainable integrated 'Waste to Wealth' technologies for Waste to Wealth under Government of India "Smart Cities," "Unnat Bharat," and "Swachh Bharat" initiatives for a zero-waste generation concept to tackle the ever-growing menace of e-waste, plastic waste, municipal solid waste, agro residue, and building construction waste.
The project Waste to Wealth is divided into six work packages:
Development of a socio-economic model to motivate Delhi NCR population for segregation of household waste
Conversion of waste plastic into low-cost fuel and biochars
Recovery of valuable metals and conversion of e-waste into valuable products
Conversion of waste biomass/agro residue to biochar and value-added products (effective solution for converting crop residue to fuel that could potentially address the stubble burning problem in regions neighbouring Delhi NCR.
Production of biogas from kitchen waste, horticultural waste and grasses
Use of construction & demolition wastes, incinerated residues in road construction.
