Organic waste has been effectively converted into energy through the utilisation of diverse technologies, thereby tackling pressing global issues including but not limited to diminishing reliance on solid waste, streamlining manufacturing expenses, waste management, and emission regulation. Energy security, pollution management, production economics, sustainability, and societal benefits are all anticipated to be improved through the utilisation of solid waste. The first objective of this study is to simulate the electricity generator using Proteus, second objective is to generate 2 V of electricity from collected solid waste and third objective is to develop prototype that gives output voltage and current. This project introduces real time monitoring via LCD displayed and for easy access using platform from Blynk app. The main components such as temperature sensor, voltage with current sensor, microcontroller and communication interface are integrated seamless operation. This project targeting energy conversion from thermal by using recycled paper, plastic and mixed from paper with plastic. From heat generated towards the unit, thermal was applied at hot side of the model and cooling system at cold side of the model for heat dissipation reason. The most crucial components for waste to energy conversion is thermoelectric Peltier model TEC1-12706 of 12 V has been used in this project. The performance of the components tested and connected in series for a better output voltage and current. A comparison between solid waste in terms of their potential for increased longevity and electricity generation efficiency is made by their variety of weights of waste materials. By optimizing the methods, this project analysed the electricity generation from different weights and different waste materials based on temperature sensors and current with voltage sensor. In conclusion, the proposed waste material conversion system offers a pollution management in line to society benefits and offer an improving renewable energy system. The proteus software was able to reproduce the initial outcome of the system approach using IoT. With the intention of improving renewable energy, it is expected that the results of this study will make a substantial contribution to the technological and sustainable energy fields. For real time result, the data recorded for paper waste material at 63 grams with temperature of 43.1°C generate the highest voltage with 6.32 V at 4 minutes of heat that convert through thermoelectric units.
