Abstract

Rapid urbanization in Bishnupur Municipality, Bankura District, has outpaced the capacity of conventional municipal solid waste (MSW) management systems, leading to environmental degradation and resource inefficiency. This study proposes a sustainable MSW management model integrating smart technologies, including waste segregation, recycling, and Waste-to-Energy (WTE) systems. A focused field study was conducted on cattle sheds (Khatals) to quantify organic waste generation and assess its potential for biogas production. The data analysis reveals that proper management of cattle waste alone could mitigate approximately 15 tons of methane annually, significantly reducing the municipality's carbon footprint. This research provides a strategic framework for adopting smart waste solutions in small-to-medium Indian municipalities to foster a circular economy.
