India is ranked 1st in the most populous country in the world, plastic waste management has been a major ongoing concern for India. With the growing economy and population, the growth of plastic waste generation has been exponential but plastic waste management has been underachieved. The excess utilization and mishandling of single-use plastic have depreciated the performance of India’s plastic waste management system. This study emphasizes on increasing the collection of plastic bottle waste using 3 real-time variants of Reverse Vending Machines – RVM BC-200, RVM PRO, and RVM PRIME – that will create a beneficial impact on the recycling of the plastic bottles that are collected and hence ameliorate the plastic management system of India. This research uses data analysis and data visualization tools to propose an in-depth comparison between 3 real-time variants of reverse vending machines and a proposed hybrid model to achieve the optimal goal.

Keywords: Mismanaged Waste Index, Single-use Plastic, Reverse Vending Machines, Collection Capacity, Plastic waste, Plastic bottle waste, metric tonnes, per year, plastic bottles, ecosystem, plastic waste management system
