Sampurn(e)arth Environment Solutions Pvt. provides wet and dry waste management solutions for corporates, residential societies and construction companies. A TISS (Tata Institute of Social Science) incubator project, Sampurn(e)arth was launched in 2012 with an objective of making solid waste management efficient, decentralised and even profitable. Sampurn(e)arth works on the principle that transporting waste to the city's dumping grounds is inefficient and expensive and also hazardous. It encourages on-site segregation, wherever possible. It also sets up on-site biogas or composting facilities for wet waste, while non- biodegradable waste is transported directly to recycling units. This leaves only a small amount of dry waste to be transported to the dumping grounds.
