THE 30-MINUTE BARRIER
"IF SORTING TAKES 30 MINUTES, I'LL JUST THROW IT ALL AWAY"
Vineeth runs a general store near Warangal. He keeps PET water bottles aside because he recognizes them. Everything else — LDPE bags, PP cups, HDPE containers — goes straight into mixed waste because he can't tell them apart.
Nirvaha eliminates this barrier. Anyone — from shopkeepers and restaurant staff to individual households — points their phone camera at any plastic item and get the exact resin code, estimated weight, and sorting advice in 2.2 seconds. No training needed. Items accumulate in a virtual Digital Bin. At 2.0 KG, the system triggers a profitable neighborhood pickup route for scrap vendors.
