Pune
Decentralized Municipal Waste Processing Infrastructure
A network of decentralized waste processing facilities designed to manage mixed municipal solid waste across multiple urban zones through segregation, composting, RDF processing, and material recovery systems.
25,000+
Metric tonnes of municipal waste processed and diverted from landfills through decentralized operations.
The Pune project enables scalable, ward-level waste management by reducing transport dependency, minimizing landfill load, and improving operational efficiency across the city.
Project Overview
The Pune project represents a decentralized approach to municipal solid waste management tailored for a rapidly growing metropolitan city with diverse waste profiles and high daily waste generation.
By deploying multiple processing units across strategic locations, the project reduces long-distance waste transport, improves segregation efficiency, and enables reliable, compliant waste processing under real urban operating conditions.
Challenges Identified
High Waste Generation
Large and growing volumes of municipal waste requiring distributed processing capacity rather than centralized disposal systems.
Transport & Logistics Load
Heavy reliance on long-haul transportation increasing operational costs, emissions, and logistical complexity.
Operational Consistency
Need for uniform performance and compliance across multiple decentralized facilities operating in parallel.
Our Proven Work Process
Zone-wise Waste Assessment
Assessment of ward-level waste generation patterns, composition, and processing requirements.
Segregation & Pre-processing
Mechanical and manual segregation to separate organic, recyclable, and combustible waste fractions.
Composting & RDF Recovery
Biological treatment of organic waste and recovery of RDF and recyclables for downstream utilization.
Monitoring & Performance Control
Centralized monitoring of operational performance, emissions, and compliance across all facilities.
Impact Delivered
Reduced Landfill Dependency
Significant diversion of municipal waste from centralized landfills through decentralized processing units.
Lower Transport Emissions
Reduced waste transportation distances leading to lower fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
Scalable Urban Waste Model
Creation of a scalable, replicable decentralized waste management framework suitable for large cities.
