When we conducted the masterclass in Mumbai about waste management, many were enthusiastic about future events that would help manage waste better.
So we bring to you a design jam ‘Solving for Waste in Mumbai’.
In the design jam, participants will look at different aspects of the chain of solid waste management – level of segregation in different wards of Mumbai, amount of waste generated across the city, impact of WTE plants (current and future), state of landfills in Mumbai in terms of their effects on the surroundings, status of waste workers in BMC, etc. These aspects combined with available data on these can come together to redesign the solid waste management at the neighbourhood, ward, zone or city level. The goal, eventually, is to design a system of waste-management that can help make Mumbai cleaner and waste-free.
📅 : 20th Dec 2025, Saturday

The design jam will be conducted in partnership with Majhi Vasundhara, Center for Water and Sanitation (CWAS), CRDF, CEPT University, Praja Foundation, Climate Group and Ek Saath – The Earth Foundation.
