Research1. Problems with current Bin:

Research2. Placement Issue

3. Lack of Standardization (No locations/spots where bins need to be expected)

More research pictures in the Appendix at the end

Solution formulationCurrent Proposed

What are Superhydrophobic coatings?

Cost effective coating

• This particular brand costs 1.25$/sq.ft to coat any surface;

• Indian retailers sell a different brand for 3000 `/liter

PrototypingStage1: AutoCAD model Stage 2: Cardboard model Stage 3: Final Prototype

DeploymentDay 0 Day 1

The area we chose to deploy this in was a Panwalla shop at new C.G. road We Failed!

DeploymentDay 3 Day 5

We got the area cleaned and reinstalled the bin!

FindingsOur Designs inspires the nearby vendor

Learning

1. Gap size needs to be increased. 2. People want to use bins for spitting3. Keeping the surroundings clean4. Unconstructed space attracts waste

Placement Strategies & Featured Bins

Featured Bins

Future work• Bill of Materials and production cost of this design• Inserting a yellow “spot” sticker on the footpath and then placing the bin on it – Placement Standardization experiment• Creating the proposed Featured bins and Observing public behavior changes – Behavioral Change Experiments• Simple Cow bins construction and deployment

Cow Problem

He is paid Rs 20 by devotees to feed Cows everyday near the temple

Simple Solution

BRTS an Other Public places

Streets

Two-Ton bin areas

Commercial Complexes

Parking spots

Segregation at collectionGarbage collection workers usually segregate the waste Paper, cardboard and bottles from the total waste to sell separately.

Hence some better incentives to these people might help greatly in segregation of waste in future.

Wealth out of Waste (WoW)

Our bin and the Inspired bin placed alongside on the final day of deployment!

Thank you.
