Abstract: ABSTRACT A SYSTEM FOR SAFE DISPOSAL OF MENSTRUAL WASTE The present invention discloses a waste management system provides a comprehensive solution for the handling of menstrual waste, encompassing burning and disposing functionalities in a single container. The sanitary napkin is inserted through a door opening and falls onto a heating tray when the door extension rotates downward. The gas burner heats the napkin, converting it into ash, which collects in a removable tray. Heat from the heating coil is focused by reflective surfaces to efficiently burn the napkin. Air entering through an inlet assists in burning and carries fumes to the filter assembly. The catalytic converter then filters out unwanted odors and fumes, releasing clean gases into the room. Any CO2 produced is stored in a tank for future use, and in case of fire, the fire extinguisher activates to prevent accidents. The system's affordability, compactness, and adaptability make it a viable and sustainable solution for menstrual waste management. Fig. 1
