In collaboration with the local

self governments ofSambalpur, Bargarh, Hirakudand Brajarajnagar, BISWAundertook the urbansanitation activities in someparts of those urban areas.Self Help Groups (SHGs)were formed by theparticipating sanitationworkers and their activities

brought BISWA familiaritywith the problems pertainingto urban sanitation andsuggested waysmeans and tomitigate the degree of theproblems. One of the gravesituations identified was theusage of plastic in all walksof life, by all sections and forall purposes. The advantageof use of plastic brought

along with it a greater disaster,as it is not bio-degradable. The onlysolution that appeared was to recyclethe used matter and thus limits its mingling

with the earth. Plastic is the best when

in usage but the worst whenidle and loitering. Then itposes grave dangers to thefertility of land and also forgrazing bovine and itsinflammability has broughtirreplaceable loss to many.

The matter in context of plasticusage was viewed withpredisposition of finding a

more or less permanentsolution to it and then camethe concept of a Waste PlasticUnit, that would recycle theplastic collected from variousareas. Recently the use ofplastic has also seen a boomin rural areas. A series ofsessions with variousstakeholders in thecommercial aspects of the

unit, a survey of availability ofwaste plastic, the viability of the unit toreach at a break-even point andsustainability etc. materialized in the

The requirement of energy has gone up in

last few years and would touch

unimaginable proportion because of

population explosion and improved living

standards in our country. In Rural India,people used cow dung and wood for their

energy needs. With better economic

conditions, more and more people are using

cleaner and more convenient forms of

energy viz. Electricity and Gas for home

usage. The availability of both these forms

of energy is limited. The shortage results

in frequent power breakdowns - disrupt

daily life, manpower loss in offices and

adversely affect the industrial production.The shortage of energy and increasing

tariff trends, dictates that every socially

responsible individuals should conserve

energy as much as possible. That will in

turn reduce the load on National Utility

Services as well as the economic burden.

The waste plastic unit of BISWA has added

another innovative feather to its

achievement. This will help in poverty

alleviation without having to lose its prime

objective to free the area from loitering

waste plastic and reuse & recycle it.
