Grac software for waste classification at source

Grac software for waste classification at source

Grac Software is Asia’s only SaaS for waste and recycling management at source. 

Source separation and top separation are both important approaches to waste management. However, they have some important differences:

1. Waste separation at source : This is the separation of waste at the place where it is generated, usually at households or businesses. The goal of waste separation at source is to reduce the amount of waste that needs to be treated and increase the possibility of recycling. The types of waste that are usually separated include organic waste, inorganic waste and recyclable waste.
2. Source Segregation : This is the separation of waste after it has been collected and transported to waste treatment facilities. The aim of source segregation is to separate different types of waste so that they can be treated effectively.

Both methods play an important role in waste management and environmental protection. However, waste separation at source is often considered more effective as it reduces the amount of waste that needs to be processed and increases the possibility of recycling.
