Sansaadhan is a digital monitoring platform that enables national, state, and city level agencies to regularly monitor the progress of material recovery facilities (MRFs) under their jurisdiction. Thus, helping the authorities to understand the progress made with respect to various material and submaterial categories and enable them to take informed decisions. Through this platform national framework conditions are also getting developed for helping cities report in a unified manner.  

This digital platform also establishes information exchange mechanism between MRFs and companies engaged in recycling activities and energy recovery- facilitating movement of materials back to circular economy loop. Companies can search for their desired materials across the country MRFs and establish contact for initiating the trade. Companies can also get a “Thank you certificate” from cities for completing the transactions via city MRFs. 

The digital platform comes to its users with a strong research base. Different material streams, sub materials, colour, condition, packaging types were determined through a baseline study, which involved various stakeholder interactions with , traders, recyclers and recycling association across various regions of the country. The formats were also pilot tested before development of the digital portal.
