    Recycling has become essential in modern society to reduce environmental impacts and conserve resources. In India, waste is often not segregated and vast amounts of plastic litter public spaces and water bodies. About 60% of plastic waste is recycled through informal workers who sort and sell materials. However, only 9% of all plastic ever produced has been recycled globally. Reports recommend reducing taxes on recycled products to 5% to encourage more recycling. India produces over 3 million tons of plastic waste annually but only 30% is recycled. The proposed Eco-Recycling system aims to provide more recycling options and produce goods from collected, sorted and processed materials.

    Abstract

    Recycling is a process by which waste materials are converted into new products to reduce the
    consumption of raw materials, conserve energy, and minimize the amount of waste sent to
    landfills. Recycling has become an essential practice in modern society, as it helps to reduce
    the negative environmental impacts of waste disposal and conserve natural resources. Many
    organizations and NGOs came forward to produce recycled products by using waste and used
    materials like flowers, clothes, plastic, metal tins, paper, kitchen waste, biological waste etc.
    There are many problems that occurs while producing recycling products they are, most people
    know that recycling is a good habit for the environment, but are often unsure of what goes into
    the recycling bin. This leads to non-recyclable materials being put in the recycling stream (such
    as liquids or plastic bags) that contaminate recyclable materials and compromise recycling
    machinery and lack of marketing about recycled products. To overcome these problems, we
    need to educate the people who are unable to identify the waste types and create awareness
    about the effects that can cause by mixing up of waste types.
    Literature Review on Recycling in India

    India is known as one of the most heavily settled countries in the world. The management of
    municipal waste in India has encountered problems. Waste is not segregated in India when it
    is collected, and vast amounts of plastic litter clog public spaces as well as water bodies. India’s
    segregation and recycling system operates through an informal chain of workers—from
    ragpickers who sort through waste to dealers who sell the plastic to plants. About 60 percent
    of plastic waste in India is recycled, according to various estimates. Just nine percent of all
    plastic waste ever produced globally has been recycled, according to the United Nations (2019).

    The report titled ‘Circular Economy in Municipal Solid and Liquid Waste’ said: “Disposing of
    recyclables in landfills/dump sites not only leads to loss of valued resources but also causes
    environment pollution.” It has also recommended that the government reduce the GST and other
    taxes on products made from recycled materials to 5% to encourage recycling of waste (2022).

    According to the report, which has been prepared in association with the Indian Institute of
    Science (IISc) and Praxis Global Alliance, Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu together
    contribute 38 per cent to the total plastic waste that is generated in India. The plastic
    consumption in India has grown at a significant pace over the past five years, and so has its
    waste output. India produces 3.4 million tons of plastic waste in a year, only 30 per cent of it
    is recycled (2023)

    Current existing system has focused to a particular reusable material and they provide services
    to those materials and dispose them, where as our “Eco-Recycling” Web system gives choice
    of specific types materials that are useful for recycle and reusable. Our target audience are
    temples, all types of manufacturing Industries and general public etc. The materials are
    collected and then, it is sorted by type and sent to processing facilities, where they are cleaned,
    sorted, and transformed into usable raw materials. Using these raw materials, we produce
    recycled and refurbished products so user can buy these products using points or cash.
