8. WASTE CHARACTERISATION
Procedure Standard: EU SWA-Tool (2004)
Sampling Area: 44 Wards, Bangalore West Zone
Area Size: 46.7 km²
Population: 1.66 million
Sampling Volume: 80 m³ MSW
Stratification: Population Density (GIS analysis)
Relevant Waste Streams: Door to Door Collection
Litter Spots
Street Sweeping
Booth-wise mapping of population densities
in West Zone, Bangalore
Step 1: Mapping of 44 wards and 1248 polling booth with geographic
information system (GIS), incl. population data
Step 2: Distributing Areas in low, medium and high density areas
(which is correlating with high, medium and low income areas
respectively)
Step 3: Density specific analysis of waste generation and composition

9. Earth One developed a state of the art mobile waste characterisation
unit (MWCU) to conduct waste characterisations and analyses.
The mobile unit can be easily transported to the area of investigation in
order to reduce the costs for waste characterisations and analyses and
improve the data quality.
Our MWCU service also provides a locally adapted methodology for the
characterisation and analysis of solid waste which is fundamental for the
design of proper collection, transfer and treatment solutions.

11. WASTE CHARACTERISATION
Key Results:
• More than 50 % of mixed solid waste is Organic
• Low share of recyclable plastics and papers, mostly low quality material
• Low pollution level of mixed solid waste with heavy metals compared to residual waste in
the US or Europe
• High share of inert materials (Sand, Stones) in Street Sweeping waste, which are difficult
for waste treatment equipment
• Special Conditions: Coconut shells
• Particular Size under 60 mm are 90 % Organic and can be used for composting
