Three waste streams. One accountability deficit.
Bengaluru generates ~5,000 tonnes of waste daily. Three high-visibility streams remain systemically unmanaged.
Street Food Litter
~180 T/day
- ·4,200+ unregistered street vendors citywide
- ·No grease trap or disposal infrastructure
- ·Mixed waste bins; 0% source segregation
Owner gap
BBMP SWM Cell
Road & C&D Debris
~600 T/day
- ·Zero contractor accountability on road-cuts
- ·Rubble blocks stormwater drains annually
- ·No designated debris drop zones in 198 wards
Owner gap
PWD + Contractors
Banners & Flex Waste
~12 T/event season
- ·~15,000 illegal flex boards per election cycle
- ·PVC flex is non-recyclable, ends in landfill
- ·Reactive removal with no systematic audit

Three platforms. One integrated intelligence loop.
Each platform owns a distinct layer—public intelligence, land transparency, and execution—feeding into a single accountability chain.
