Today, the world is facing a very big problem on how to handle the waste we create. The world is developing day by day, but the truth is that it is affecting the balance in nature.
Kerala has the highest literacy sate in India, but that doesn’t seem to influence their outlook in general – the biggest problem being that of waste management. As a result, a large amount of waste is dumped on the streets, ponds, rivers and other public places. The waste is not managed in a scientific manner, creating ecological and health hazards, some lasting even generations.
As of now, Kerala follows a centralized waste management system. And hence the problem. The answer lies in decentralization or source-level waste management (SLWM), and setting up a service center to handle this.
