Over the past few years, waste management has become a global concern. Commonly, waste is generated in households, factories, construction sites, refineries and nuclear power plants. As the population is increasing, consumption trends are changing. Along with the improvement in lifestyle, it has posed alarming threats to the environment. If waste is not managed properly it can cause serious problems to human health and the environment. The handling and disposing of liquid and solid waste, its treatment, and recycling for further use fall under waste management. Waste management is important as it saves the environment from the toxic effects of inorganic and biodegradable element present in waste. Mismanagement of waste can cause water contamination, soil erosion and air contamination. While proper waste management will not only save natural resources, biodiversity, and human life, it will also impact the economy in a positive way as there will be more jobs created for running an efficient waste management system. Driven by the vision of waste to wealth and circular economy this initiative of conducting a Waste Reduction Hackathon is being undertaken. The event will be a platform to showcase the potential of technology, design, and social innovation to create a more sustainable future. The hackathon will provide an opportunity for participants to collaborate and develop ideas that can make a real difference. The focus will be on reducing, reusing, and recycling waste and educating communities on waste management practices.
