Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the core technology empowering this shift, offering a pathway to balance economic prosperity with environmental stewardship by making consumption predictive, operations efficient and waste management circular.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"article-index-2\" class=\"storyParagraph\">\n<p><span>This was the theme driving the Mint All About AI Tech4Good Awards, sponsored by Salesforce, in the Best Use of AI for Sustainability category. In this, EcogenX Innovations secured the Gold award for its work in intelligent waste management, while Singapore Technologies Engineering (ST Engineering) got the Silver for its role in optimising smart city infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"article-index-3\" class=\"storyParagraph\">\n<p>Watch the highlights from the Awards Summit below,<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"article-index-6\" class=\"storyParagraph\">\n<h2><strong>Gold Winner: EcogenX Innovations<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span>EcogenX Innovations tackled one of India\u2019s biggest challenges that is coming as cities are turning into urban centres \u2013 that of a growing waste crisis, where inefficient collection, low recycling rates and a lack of data transparency are leading to fast environmental degradation. The organisation identified that most waste management systems were reactive, not intelligent and lacked a scalable, technology-backed model to connect citizens, municipalities and recyclers efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"article-index-7\" class=\"storyParagraph\">\n<p><span>To solve for this, EcogenX successfully used AI to transform <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"backlink\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.livemint.com\/news\/aligning-industries-government-key-for-waste-management-msmes-luthra-group-municipalities-awareness-sustainability-11757060883014.html\" data-vars-page-type=\"story\" data-vars-link-type=\"Manual\" data-vars-anchor-text=\"waste management\">waste management<\/a> from an inconsistent system into a predictive and data-driven ecosystem. Their solution deploys AI-based sensors, smart bins and data dashboards to track collection patterns, analyse waste segregation data and forecast recycling trends. This method enables local bodies to make better decisions, optimises routes for waste collection and rewards citizens for responsible disposal. All of these actions come together to make sustainability measurable and achievable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"article-index-8\" class=\"storyParagraph\">\n<p><span>Before the EcogenX solution was used, waste segregation and tracking were highly inefficient. This often resulted in mixed waste, overflowing bins and minimal material recovery. After implementing AI-driven smart bins and analytics, the results were substantial:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"article-index-9\" class=\"storyParagraph\">\n<ul>\n<li><span>Material Recovery: 85 per cent of collected materials were recovered for reuse.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Emissions Reduction: CO\u2082 emissions reduced by 1.5 tons per ton of waste processed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Landfill Diversion: Over 12,000+ tons of waste were diverted from landfills.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span>The model is more than just simple waste disposal. It merges sustainability, community engagement and AI-driven infrastructure. Its proprietary platform uses smart IoT bins, image recognition, and analytics to convert waste into usable data. The modular design ensures it is easily scalable across cities and industries, ensuring AI works responsibly toward a sustainable, waste-free India.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"article-index-10\" class=\"storyParagraph\">\n<h2><strong>Silver Winner: ST Engineering<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span>As cities are developing, there are persistent challenges around managing complex urban infrastructure systems, such as traffic flow, public transport operations and surveillance across large metropolitan cities in India. Manual monitoring and reactive management in rapidly growing cities can improve efficiency, safety and sustainability.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"article-index-11\" class=\"storyParagraph\">\n<p><span>ST Engineering utilised AI for its capability to process complex, real-time data streams from thousands of sensors and cameras. Through computer vision, predictive analytics and deep learning models, their systems could instantly detect anomalies, optimise transport routes, and anticipate system failures, transforming cities from reactive to proactive ecosystems.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"article-index-12\" class=\"storyParagraph\">\n<p><span>The integration of AI led to measurable gains in urban efficiency:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"article-index-13\" class=\"storyParagraph\">\n<ul>\n<li><span>Incident Detection: Incident detection time was reduced to under 2 minutes, down from an average of 15\u201320 minutes reliance on human oversight.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Traffic Efficiency: Traffic efficiency improved by 25 per cent.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Energy Use: Energy usage in city operations dropped by 18 per cent.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span>These results contributed to safer and greener urban mobility. ST Engineering\u2019s AI platform uniquely integrates predictive modelling, video analytics and IoT data, all within one unified ecosystem. Its fully modular and scalable design drives innovation by enabling cities to anticipate problems, optimise resource use and deliver citizen-centred services more intelligently and securely. ST Engineering adheres to global ethical AI standards and implements strong data protection protocols, anonymising personal information and embedding \u201chuman-in-the-loop\u201d mechanisms in safety-critical systems to ensure transparency and accountability.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"article-index-14\" class=\"storyParagraph\">\n<p><span>The recognition of EcogenX Innovations and ST Engineering underscores the essential role of AI in moving from reactive fixes to predictive, data-driven management of both waste and urban infrastructure. These awards celebrate the companies that are actively leveraging technology to build cleaner, greener and more sustainable communities.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"article-index-15\" class=\"storyParagraph\">\n<p><span>Note to Readers: All About AI is a Mint editorial initiative, sponsored by Salesforce.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India has set an ambitious target to become a $5 trillion economy.
