Sanitary napkin / diaper recovery / Recycling
Description
Sanitary napkins and diapers which work with Super Absorbent Plastics and mostly with plastic sheets are posing a challenge to every city in terms of waste management. There is no recycling technology available for it. A proper disassembly, disinfection, cleaning may be helpful to reduce the volume or may open up new recycling opportunities. Exploration of non thermal methods of sanitary napkin disposal need to be done. Or a sustainable alternative to
current solutions
