MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621010004 A) filed by Sage University, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, on Jan. 30, for 'waste bin system and method for automated waste management.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Prashant Jain; Prof. Snehlata Mishra; Prof. Kunal Batra; Piyush More; and Gopal Choudhary.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A waste bin system (102) for automated waste management comprises an ultrasonic sensor (104), a load cell (106), a compression assembly (108) including a linear actuator (110) and a compression plate (112), a multi-layer odor neutralization tunnel (114) including a UV-C sterilizer (116), an activated carbon filter (118), and a micro airflow fan (120), and a hardware processor (122). The hardware processor (122) obtains a fill height measurement from the ultrasonic sensor (104) and a density measurement from the load cell (106) to determine a waste condition based on combining both measurements. The hardware processor (122) activates the compression assembly (108) when the fill height measurement exceeds a predefined height threshold and the density measurement is below a predefined density threshold, distinguishing bulky low-density waste from compact high-density waste. The hardware processor (122) generates an alert when both measurements indicate a full capacity condition."
