Abstract
Waste Impact Trust is a NGO founded by Ms. Gayitri Handanahal who has served for 13 years in the social sector under diverse areas such as skill development among BPL Self Help Groups, Safe drinking water with the Naandi Foundation. For the last four years she has been working in Solid Waste Management. She conceptualized and coordinated a programme namely, “Reimagine Waste” as a series of Waste Hackathons in collaboration with the Centre for Product Design and Manufacturing (CPDM) at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). These hackathons have specific themes on waste and are supported by corporates and institutions through 4-day events and the post hackathon activities. Hackathons provide a platform for creativity to find low cost, high impact solutions for day to day problems of waste management using technology. The unique aspect of these hackathons is that the vulnerable communities are part of the hacking teams and contribute to solutions from conception to prototyping to creating business plans.
