Project Red

  1. Promoting proper waste management of used sanitary pads by the following:
    1. STEP 1: Segregation at source
      • To make people aware of segregating waste into 3 parts-
        1. Wet waste 2. Dry waste 3. “Menstrual waste”
    2. STEP 2: Separate partition in garbage collection vehicles
      • Door-to-door collection vehicles will have a separate partition in which used menstrual pads will be disposed of.
    3. STEP 3: Dropping menstrual waste at bio-medical waste collection centre 
      • The collected pads will be transferred to the nearest “Bio-medical waste facility” or “Bio-medical waste collection centre” instead of disposing them along with other waste collected from various sources in the district. In the Bio-medical Waste Facility/collection centre the menstrual waste in the form of sanitary napkins, tampons, etc. will be incinerated.
