Fusion PMU has facilitated City of Chhindwara in adoption of a 4 bin waste segregation format. 4 separate bins are installed in public places vis-a-vis door to door waste collection vehicles also have separate sections for Organic, Inorganic, Medical, and Domestic hazardous waste. These are for segregated collection and transfer for effective processing and management. Special care for hazardous household waste is taken as it can be harmful to the environment, and even cause physical risks for the workers at the waste processing and material recovery facilities. Fusion team strives to combine DTDC with awareness generation and additional real time citizen engagement and feedbacks.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
FWMC wants to work with grassroots initiatives for effecting positive changes in the lives of deprived, underprivileged children, their families and communities. The ‘Swachh Bharat Mission’ has been endorsed by our Hon’ble Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi, who has chartered the Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM), Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (SBA), or Clean India Mission is a country-wide campaign initiated by the Government of India in 2014 to eliminate open defecation and improve solid waste management (SWM).
One of the stated objectives of SBM is to ensure door-to-door garbage collection and proper disposal of municipal solid waste in all the districts of India. Swachh Bharat citizen communities were formed subsequently to generate awareness and citizen participation.Our Constitution of India in Part A 42nd Amendment 1976 Article 51A is the only Article which spells out our duty to our country:
“It shall be the duty of every citizen of India…. (g) to protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers and wildlife and have compassion for living creatures.”
Waste is unwanted material discarded by each of us. Most of it can be useful and valuable for others. There are two main kinds of waste discarded. Organic Waste from cooked and uncooked food, fruit and flowers are natural products which decompose quickly and are called ‘Wet’ waste. Other manmade or manufactured products which are discarded are called “Dry’ wastes. These include plastics, rubber, metal, glass, cloth, paper, and packaging.Solid Waste creates many problems in the lifecycle of the mankind as these are ubiquitous in our lives and the issues posed by them are now so large that a single innovation, or even a single type of innovation, will not solve the challenge.
There is no silver bullet, new materials and new machines, new recycling techniques, new uses for recycled materials, new business models, and perhaps most importantly, citizens who are ready to form a new relationship with plastics are all needed.
