MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511116629 A) filed by New Delhi Institute Of Management, New Delhi, on Nov. 25, 2025, for 'a method for dynamic resource mapping to achieve zero-waste material utility and minimize value chain leakage.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Sunaina Sardana; Dr. Chand Tandon; Dr. Vinod Kumar; Dr. Savita Gautam; and Dr. Swapnila Roy.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "FIG. 1 illustrates the functional architecture of the Method for Dynamic Resource Mapping (DRM) designed to achieve Zero-Waste Material Utility and minimize Value Chain Leakage. The figure depicts the sequential and interconnected modules of the system, including the Resource Data Acquisition Module that gathers real-time material condition and location data through IoT sensors and enterprise systems; the Material Viability Modeling Engine that evaluates residual value, purity, and remaining useful life using predictive degradation models and machine learning; and the AI Optimal Routing Engine that determines the highest-utility re-entry pathway such as reuse, refurbishment, remanufacturing, or recycling. The diagram further shows the Automated Diversion and Integration Module responsible for executing routing commands through ERP, WMS, and MES interfaces. The Value Chain Leakage Quantifier is represented as a parallel analytical component calculating economic loss, embedded carbon, and energy leakage for every resource cycle, while the Secure Provenance Ledger records all lifecycle events on an immutable blockchain. The Analytics and Dashboard Interface visualizes system performance, material flows, and sustainability metrics. Arrows highlight the continuous flow of real-time data, evaluation, routing, and verification processes enabling circularity and resource optimization."
