The smart bin brought out by IIT-M incubated startup company is called ‘AirBin’ and it enables remote monitoring of waste accumulation levels and clearances through IoT systems. This smart bin system can be retrofitted on to existing garbage bins on nearby poles, walls or the bin lids.

This innovative product is on track to hit the market in around five months. IIT-M incubated startup company Antariksh aims to supply first 200 AirBin devices across India in next few months with long-term plans to deliver 100,000 units for 100 smart cities in India.

Timely cleaning of bins will be a key priority while faced with shortage of labor, he said. Remote waste levels monitoring, smarter pickups, skill development with good protection gear for sanitation teams, educating citizens on best sanitation practices, will be some of the key elements driving this industry forward, in the coming months, he said.

This Digital Waste Management System can generate alerts to sanitation teams at regular intervals on fill levels and on-demand clearance requests from end-users, for faster disposal of contagious waste.

IIT-M incubated startup company is supported by IIT Madras Incubation Cell. In the case of COVID-19, hazardous waste is being generated in hospitals, quarantine zones or red zone areas within cities.

They are potential sources of COVID-19 and can cause further spread within the locality. This makes timely clean-up of bins vital along with other best practices for disinfection to prevent further spread of the COVID-19.

Various sources point out that only 28 per cent of the waste generated in India is recycled and various studies found that the waste generated in the country is doubling every five years.
