The application for the patent was published on July 11, under issue no. 28/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a comprehensive system for intelligent waste management. It addresses inadequate segregation and low reuse practices by integrating a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for automatic waste classification from user-uploaded images and Natural Language Processing (NLP) for generating personalized reuse or upcycling suggestions. The system further includes modules for tracking carbon footprint and recycling habits, predicting product lifespans, and a geolocation-enabled map for locating recycling centers. A unique marketplace module facilitates user-to-user exchange of reusable items, fostering a circular economy. Developed on a MERN stack, the invention makes waste management accessible, informative, and community-oriented, driving sustainable behavior through data-driven insights and interactive tools, thereby reducing landfill waste and promoting environmental stewardship."
