Inventors include Madhura Nitin Veer; Shreyas Shivanand Yerule; Vaishnavi Sachin Tavhare; Harshal Suresh Thakur; and Prof. Ajay Talele.
The application for the patent was published on July 03, 2026, under issue no. 27/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to an IoT-enabled smart waste classification system designed for real-time and automated segregation of waste materials. The system integrates multiple sensors, a microcontroller, and communication modules to identify and classify waste into categories such as biodegradable, recyclable, and non-biodegradable. Upon detection, the waste is analyzed using sensor data and/or image processing techniques, and an automated mechanism directs it into the appropriate bin. The invention further incorporates IoT technology to enable real-time monitoring of waste levels and system performance through a cloud-based platform. This allows efficient waste collection, reduces overflow, and enhances operational management. The proposed system minimizes human intervention, improves segregation accuracy, and promotes environmentally sustainable waste disposal practices, making it suitable for smart cities, institutions, and residential applications..
