In India waste is dumped in open spaces landfills and waterbodies causing large scale environmental pollution and health hazards. The waste collectors (mostly women) already living in dire indigence and neglect are exposed to severe health hazards while conducting their vital role of scavenging. TaO seeks to capture the economic benefits of waste as a green resource by harnessing the value proposition of waste to energy. Financial incentives are then directed back to create behavioral realignment of communities towards segregation and littering. Furthermore they seek to establish an elevated social rank and a dignified way of life for the vulnerable waste workers through an organized platform for social and energy entrepreneurship. This tackles the root causes of social and economic inequity by transfiguring the waste workers into catalysts that convert waste a now established green resource into productive applications.
