Ecobarter ensures that the waste collected is processed in an environmentally friendly manner. Here’s a breakdown of what happens to your waste:
Sorting & Baling
Once collected, the waste is sorted into different categories such as plastics, paper, and metals. This sorting process ensures that each type of material is handled appropriately. The sorted materials are then baled, which involves compressing them into compact, manageable bundles for easier transportation and processing.
WREP (Waste Recycling and Empowerment Program)
Through our Waste Recycling and Empowerment Program (WREP), we transform flexible plastics into high-value products like bags, shoes, and clothing. This initiative not only reduces waste but also empowers local communities by providing them with sustainable livelihood opportunities.
Composting & Biogas
In months to come, organic waste collected by Ecobarter will be processed through composting and biogas production. Composting turns organic waste into nutrient-rich compost, which can be used to enrich soil in agricultural activities. Biogas production involves the anaerobic digestion of organic waste to produce biogas, a renewable energy source that can be used for cooking and electricity generation.
