Title: Waste2Wealth Tagline : Empowering Communities, Turning Trash into Sustainable Livelihoods. Description: India generates 62 million tons of waste annually, with 70% dumped untreated into landfills, contaminating soil, water, and air. Urban slums and rural areas suffer disproportionately, lacking access to waste segregation systems, while informal waste-pickers face exploitative wages and health hazards. Waste2Wealth tackles this crisis through a circular economy model. Our idea: 1. Tech-Driven Collection: A low-cost app connects households with local waste collectors for doorstep pickup of segregated waste (organic, recyclable, hazardous). 2. Micro-Entrepreneur Upskilling: Train waste-pickers to become “Green Entrepreneurs,” equipping them with tools, safety gear, and fair pricing via direct partnerships with recycling units. 3. Community Incentives: Households earn redeemable points for proper segregation, exchangeable for groceries, healthcare vouchers, or WiFi access. This reduces landfill pressure by 60%, cuts pollution-linked diseases, and boosts incomes for marginalized workers. Pilot data shows a 30% increase in segregation compliance in low-income areas. Scalable via municipal partnerships, we aim to impact 1M+ urban/rural Indians in Phase 1. By aligning environmental sustainability with economic equity, Waste2Wealth transforms waste into a resource—empowering India’s underserved while cleaning the nation. Why This Works Urgent Problem: Pollution, health risks, and poverty among waste-pickers resonate nationally. Tangible Solution: Tech + community engagement ensures scalability and behavioral change. Dual Impact:Environmental and economic benefits. Cultural Fit: Aligns with India’s Swachh Bharat (Clean India) mission and SDGs.
