Waste management in rural India

The project takes place in the village Joygopalpur in West Bengal in India. Today there is no waste management system present to deal with the continuous increase of plastic that comes into the village every day and therefore no means to handle the waste. By making a collection system it becomes possible to give the plastic value. By melting it into building blocks in a sun grill using solar power, the plastic is recycled. This concept solves the waste problem in the village, creates local jobs and gives the inhabitants houses that are able to withstand the monsoon
