SYNOPSIS

The Smart City Solution of Waste Management is about cutting down on waste going into landfills, incinerators, and all forms of disposal that do little to consider the impact on environment. To achieve this, we as members of the society need to habituate the segregation and recycling of our own waste, which is now made simpler by the development of the iCycle Platform and its package plan.

The iCycle Platform is a Comprehensive Recycling System that caters the needs of businesses, households, cities, and ultimately people. Its social-business portal allows subscribers to track and monitor their recycling performance.  To support the ecosystem, awareness programmes are held at institutions of higher learning, NGOs and companies. Thus adding value to society by engaging and educating people, and empowering them to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
