• 4Ws Problem Canvas: To understand the step-by-step process of problem scoping, we use a method called the
4Ws Problem Canvas. This approach helps us identify four critical parameters that are essential for solving a
problem effectively.
Who? What? Where? Why?
Who
Who are the stakeholders? • Students, teachers, and school staff who use the waste bins.
• School administrator who is responsible for waste management
and sustainability initiatives.
• Maintenance and cleaning staff who manage waste collection
and disposal.
What do you know about them? • Stakeholders often lack clarity about proper recycling practices.
• Maintenance staff devote considerable time for handling
improperly sorted waste.
• Administrator aims to implement sustainable practices to
achieve the school’s eco-friendly goals.
What
What is the problem? The school is experiencing issues with improper waste disposal,
where students and staff accidentally put waste into incorrect

reducing the recycling efficiency and increasing the waste sent
to landfills.
How do you know it is a problem? Evidence includes overflowing trash bins with mixed waste,
contaminated recycling bins, and higher waste management
(Is there any evidence?)

collection areas also highlight inefficiencies.

stakeholders experience the problem? used, such as cafeterias, hallways, classrooms, and outdoor spaces.
Where is the problem located? Areas with the highest waste generation and where incorrect
sorting is most commonly observed.

To improve the school’s sustainability efforts by promoting
better waste management practices.
To educate students and staff on the importance of recycling and
