With the rise of startups, this sector is finally gaining the attention it deserves. Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/dvj27Wwy #AI #WasteManagement #FM

As per the Frost & Sullivan report, municipal solid waste generation is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.9% to reach 115 million tons per annum by the financial year 2025. Hence the need for collection, segregation and transportation of waste along with the development of scientific recycling and disposal methods for the management of waste is only going to increase. Our conversations with teams working in this space have helped us understand the need for private capital to also augment the government efforts in this space. Which is why we are investing in Green Worms Beyond just the need for startups innovating in this space, the startup also helps Self-help Groups (SHGs) with better employment opportunities, better pay and livelihood creation—which we feel also adds to the positive changes they are pushing forward.
