Abstract
Waste-to-energy technologies are currently under scrutiny due to the rising demand for sustainable energy solutions. This paper discusses the design and implementation of an automated entry door system powered by waste-to- electricity technology. The system integrates renewable energy generation from organic and inorganic waste with an efficient automated door mechanism, providing a sustainable and eco- friendly solution for energy utilization in modern infrastructure. The waste-to-electricity module converts biodegradable waste into biogas or employs thermoelectric processes to harness energy from waste combustion. The suggested solution addresses waste management issues while drastically lowering reliance on electricity derived from fossil fuels by using waste as a renewable energy source. This strategy enhances energy sustainability, lessens pollution in the environment, and makes effective use of waste resources that are readily available locally. Additionally, the potential for creative uses of waste-to-energy technology in public and commercial buildings is highlighted by the integration of smart automation with renewable energy generation. All things considered, the system exhibits a sustainable and scalable solution that supports international initiatives for the development of smart infrastructure and the adoption of green energy. This energy would power the door system, automated, which senses motion and uses access control with sensors. This solution reduces the reliance on traditional sources of energy, promotes waste management, and brings to the fore the possibilities of integrating renewable energy technologies with smart automation for sustainable development.
