MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631029212 A) filed by Narula Institute Of Technology, Kolkata, West Bengal, on March 11, for 'artificial intelligence-enabled predictive waste minimization and resource optimization engine.'
Inventor(s) include Debrupa Pal; Suseta Datta; Dr. Parthasarathi De; and Mrinmoy Guria.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "An Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Predictive Waste Minimization and Resource Optimization Engine is provided for transforming waste management into an intelligent, proactive infrastructure. The system utilizes a network of smart sensors and IoT communication modules to capture and transmit real-time data regarding waste volume, composition, and disposal behavior. An AI processing unit employs machine learning to forecast generation trends, while a decision engine and resource optimization module select optimal treatment or recovery pathways to minimize landfill dependency. The system includes a feedback mechanism to influence user behavior and a continuous learning framework that refines prediction accuracy over time. This invention supports circular economy principles by reducing operational costs, carbon emissions, and environmental impact through data-driven, adaptive optimization."
