Abstract

The problem of improper disposal of menstrual waste is a major roadblock to our system in achieving the “Swachh Bharat” mission’ and their goal to create a cleaner India. Our country generates approximately 137,483 tons of used sanitary napkins annually, or 377 tons daily. This waste is problématique for many reasons as improper disposal of menstrual waste is a major issue hence this project has been taken into consideration fix the issue of environmental hazards to some extent which is caused by throwing away the pads and tampons into dumping yards, as it triggers different health issues and the environnement as it takes around 400 to 800 years for pads and tampons to completely decompose. This project can be implemented on various sites such as public toilets, schools, hospitals, and hostels, which are very helpful in collecting waste napkins and tampons that would rather end up in landfills. Also, the proposed system focuses on making the fumes coming out of the chimney less hazardous to the environment by using a combination of different filters which have been put together in a chimney to reduce the carbon footprint to some extent and stop the burnt particles from entering directly into the atmosphère. As the burning process of pads and tampons produces CO and CO2 while burning.
