Visual Segregation Rate (KPI-3)

Measures the degree of segregation of the dry waste in percentage, delivered from the individual circuit, based on random sampling and visual assessment of at least 10 bags per vehicle

Averages in %


Intervenors

  • Expected average – above 85%.
  • Decrease usually due to apathy on the part of the populace and waste collectors, and also poor collection & transportation logistics leading to wayside dumping.
  • Bulk deliveries and special streams can to an extent influence segregation rates in both ways.
  • Special Circumstances such as fairs and festivals, and a tourist influx may again influence the KPI in a negative manner.
  • All actions described under KPI-1 & 2 to be repeated.
  • If problem persists consider recommending punitive measures to authorities concerned.

Confounders

  1. The sole confounder which leads to spurious results is absence of trained key personnel.
