SGDMS
SGDMS is an open-source, IoT-enabled waste management system built in Nagaland, combining technology and community participation to create a smart, traceable network. It empowers youth, generates local jobs, and converts waste into valuable products like compost and paver blocks. ♻️ SGDMS is a scalable, tech-driven waste management solution currently under Research & Development (R&D) at Zeliang Codetech. The system is designed to modernize how municipalities handle waste by combining community participation, decentralized processing, and smart technology. 🌍⚙️ How It Works
SGDMS follows a structured workflow: Awareness & Segregation → Residents are encouraged to separate waste at source 🏠 Collection & Logging → Waste volume and patterns are recorded 📊 Sorting & Processing → 🌿 Organic waste → Converted into bio-fertilizer 🔄 Recyclables → Redirected into recovery channels ⚠️ Non-recyclables → Safely processed Resource Reuse → Residues transformed into usable materials like paver blocks 🧱 Data Optimization → Continuous analysis improves efficiency 📈Benefits for Municipalities
