2BIN-1BAG Model at Smondo2, Neotown, Electronic City Phase 1, Bangalore
Since April 2023, the residents of Smondo2.0 (220 flats) have boarded on a transformative waste segregation journey, successfully implementing the 2bin1bag model.
We have successfully started collecting segregated waste through dedicated efforts, setting up separate waste collection spaces, and waste segregation workshops for staff and residents. We contribute this feat to the power of community collaboration, demonstrating that positive change is achievable when united in purpose.
At Smondo2, we encourage conscious waste segregation practices and avoid the usage of plastic liners for bins. While many liners claim to be compostable, they are only compostable in an industrial composting facility.
In Bangalore, where disposal options are limited, this results in both the liners and the waste they contain being dumped in landfills, thus causing significant environmental hazards.
Resident Volunteers- Ranu Thakuria, Suchitra Balu and Savita Kathavate with their Property management team continue to direct their efforts towards complete waste segregation at Smondo 2. Together with the Smondo2 residents, their efforts have led to remarkable achievements. They achieved a 99% waste segregation rate without Plastic liners, significantly benefiting the environment by reducing mixed waste and preventing thousands of liners from reaching landfills.
Now our garbage collection area is neatly organized with bins for wet and reject wastes and separate space to keep dry waste. This has helped reduce rodent activity in our premises.
We all understand the importance of waste segregation at source, however taking the first step needs awareness and easy, doable, and practical steps to follow. 2bin1bag truly makes this transition achievable.
