The document discusses two innovative waste management solutions: an Indian model that uses animals like cows and pigs to help break down biodegradable waste, and a Swedish machine that gamifies glass bottle recycling by turning a collection bin into an arcade game to motivate more recycling. Both aim to reduce waste but take different approaches - the Indian method uses natural decomposition by animals while the Swedish approach employs technology and games to encourage non-biodegradable recycling.

1. ACTIVITY 1

2.  Innovation is to make (something) new or to
do something in a new way.
 It is finding a better way of doing something.

3. The concept of waste management involves the
collection, removal, processing, and disposal of
materials considered waste.
 Waste materials can be
solid, gaseous, liquid, or even
hazardous and are generally
generated through human activity.

4.  Proper waste disposal is of great importance to both rural and urban areas.
Not doing this may bring us to danger in many ways and surely everybody
knows this. Time and again, people are always being educated about the
importance of waste disposal but then this process should not stop because
every now and then, people forget.
 Some of the kids grow, even if they have learned the proper way of disposing
the waste someday they will still forget about it. Big thanks to the people who
make effort to spread the word and continue to be of service to other
people. As a matter of fact, we can see to it that it’s not that easy to be in their
situation because sometimes,
most of them work voluntarily.

5.  Waste disposal is now the main problem being face by the world today. If we
look closely, sometimes nature takes its turn on us and that’s what we should be
concerned about. Sometimes even in the so called developed countries we can
still see some trash scattered. We can also notice some people burning their
trash in the backyard and they think it’s the easiest way to get rid of waste but
they are totally wrong because they are just making a faster way to destroy the
nature.

6. Local
 In Satyamev Jayate Season 2 Episode 3 we see
how animals have a way of working in harmony with
nature and C Srinivasan is using that to create
waste-free society.
 Do you know cows, pigs, insects and frogs can be
our best friends when it comes to garbage
management? Find out how in this section where C.
Srinivasan, project director of environmental
organization Indian Green Service talks about the
well known Vellore Model he has developed, which
is being followed in many states across India.

8.  The show highlighted that animals can also contribute
in recycling of waste. Vellore's C. Srinivasan's (Project
Director IGS) innovative idea of using animals in
recycling of waste is brilliant. Vellore's model showed
the world how animals can also play an important role
in waste management. He also urged for the need of
SLRM centre (Solid and liquid resource management
centre) in different parts of our country and also said
that decentralization is an important technique used in
waste management.

10. Foreign(Sweden)
• A machine was developed to gamify(make a
game) the activity of collection of waste
bottles, so that people are just not rewarded
with a good conscience but also get a smile
in return.
• Bottle bank arcade glass recycling is a
innovation in which a glass bottle collection
bin was refitted to resemble an arcade
machine in Sweden

11. More About it
• Many of us return our plastic bottles and cans.
Noticeably fewer recycle their glass. Maybe that's
because we don't get any money in return, as we do for
cans and plastic. Can we change this attitude by making
recycling glass fun to do? So you are not just rewarded
with a good conscience, you also get a smile.
• We’ve always believed that our children will learn how to
recycle and care for the environment quite quickly if fun
is injected into the teaching-learning process by parents.
Obviously, we adults tend to also absorb ideas faster or
change our habits for the better if there’s fun in doing it.

13. The Result…
• People were so amused and inspired by the idea
that in one single evening, over one hundred
people used the arcade machine/recycler
compared to just two people using an ordinary
bottle bank nearby. I imagine people searching
all over their houses for empty glass bottles to
deposit and recycle, just to be able to play the
contraption.

15. Similarities:-
• Both are done to reduce waste.
• Idea is easy and effective.
• Idea is innovative and productive.

16. Difference:-
Indian Innovation Foreign Innovation
The waste used is biodegradable. The waste used is non-biodegradable.
Use of animals. Use of technology(arcade machine).
The Indian Innovation is economically
beneficial.
The other one is interesting and as
said brings smile on face.
Wet-waste is used. Solid-waste is used.
