ORGANIZATIONS
The issue of waste management is one that demands our urgent attention. Inefficient waste management techniques can have detrimental effects on both the environment and human health. To address this problem, we have designed an automatic waste segregator with a monitoring system. Our concept is backed by research from reputable organizations and publications such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), International Solid Waste Association (ISWA), Journal of Environmental Management, Waste Management and Research, and the National Waste & Recycling Association (NWRA). These sources have all highlighted the benefits of waste segregation and the need for advanced waste management technologies.
To further support our concept, we will conduct a literature review of trustworthy sources and conduct interviews with waste management professionals. This will allow us to gather data and insights on the feasibility and benefits of our proposed concept. Using this information, we will create a concept paper that evaluates the technological, economic, and environmental viability of our idea.
​
Here is the valid literature that support our capstone project.
-
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
– It has released research on the benefits of waste segregation, such as reduced landfill trash and enhanced resource recovery. This study backs up the requirement for a waste segregator with monitoring capabilities to better waste management.
-
UNEP
– The UNEP has stressed the necessity of waste management in achieving sustainable development goals. To lessen environmental effect, they have advocated for the use of modern waste management technology such as automated trash segregators.
​
-
International Solid Waste Association (ISWA)
– The ISWA has published research on the usage of sophisticated waste management technology, such as automated trash segregation. This study backs up the requirement for a waste segregator with monitoring capabilities to better waste management.
