Global Warming
The dispersion of garbage that contributes to environmental deterioration and global climate change is a byproduct of this population growth. Each individual has an escalating amount of waste that they throw on a daily basis. Based on a study, almost 70 million tons of solid trash are expected to be produced in Metro Manila alone over the following thirty years. About 35,000 garbage were produced every day in the Philippines in 2013. According to the same study, nationwide, only 40–85% of the waste produced is collected, which suggests that 15–60% of it is inappropriately disposed of or left as litter. Building an automatic waste segregator will facilitate community waste organization and lessen improperly discarded waste.
How does it work?
-
It is equipped with innovative technology and advanced sensors that can identify and segregate different kinds of waste automatically, without the help of human intervention.
-
​Implementing an automatic waste segregation system can significantly contribute to creating a cleaner and healthier environment for our community.
-
With its ability to sort different types of waste materials automatically, such a system can greatly reduce the burden on our waste management infrastructure while promoting recycling and responsible waste disposal practices.
-
By implementing this innovative technology, we can minimize the negative impact of waste on our environment, and move towards a more sustainable future.
COMPONENTS
Sensors
By adding more sensors, the system can better differentiate between different types of plastic or paper, which are important materials to recycle. It is used to detect contaminants, such as food waste or other non-recyclable materials, which can lead to better recycling outcomes and safer waste disposal practices.
Conveyor Belt
It increases efficiency because it improves the speed and efficiency of waste sorting, leading to faster and more accurate waste management practices. It can also help reduce the time and labor required for manual sorting and increase the system's overall capacity for waste management. It ensures a consistent flow of waste materials, improving the accuracy of the system in identifying and separating different types of waste.
Alarm
It provides an immediate notification when the system is overloaded. This can help prevent delays in waste management and avoid damage to the system. It alerts the operator when waste materials in the trash bin are already full, which can help the authorities determine when to change the bins inside the machine. It does not require additional labor or equipment that reduce operating costs and improve the overall efficiency of the syste
sUMMARY
Environmental deterioration and global climate change are caused by improper waste management, according to the problem statement. The issue is exacerbated by improper trash segregation in localities. Garbage collectors run the risk of coming into contact with hazardous material during the time-consuming process of manual waste segregation.
Idea:
An automated garbage segregator with a monitoring system is an innovative way to organize waste and reduce incorrect disposal of waste. The device automatically separates waste, and it features a monitoring mechanism to keep tabs on how much waste is disposed of each day.
Importance:
The automatic trash segregator can help with proper waste management, prevent improperly disposed of waste, and lessen the chance that garbage collectors will come into contact with hazardous waste. By minimizing waste and protecting natural resources, it can additionally improve environmental sustainability.
Procedure:
The automatic waste segregator with a monitoring system will identify and separate waste into biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste using sensors and software. The monitoring system will record the amount of waste disposed of each day and notify the appropriate authorities when the machine is full.
Restrictions:
The Automatic waste segregator with a monitoring system may be limited in its ability to identify specific waste items and may require frequent maintenance to ensure optimal performance.
-
The automatic waste segregator with a monitoring system is expected to contribute to proper waste management, reduce improperly discarded waste, and promote environmental sustainability. It can also reduce the risk of garbage collectors being exposed to hazardous waste.
-
Finally, the Automatic waste segregator with a monitoring system is a technological solution for promoting proper waste management, reducing improperly discarded waste, and promoting environmental sustainability. While it has limitations, the concept paper’s expected outcomes and significance make it a valuable addition to the field of waste management.
