Experiments were carried out on pre-trained models of MobileNetV2, ResNet34 and Densenet121 model, previously trained on ImageNet dataset. The accuracies obtained were 96.42%, 96.27% and 96.273% respectively for the Densenet121, mobilenetv2 and resnet34 models. Within 60 epochs, the neural network model accurately categorizes waste materials provided in the input image. The results of the experiments are compared with other previous work done in the same field. The applications of the experiments conducted in this research aims at providing better waste categorization and also follows the United Nations goal for Responsible Consumption and Production towards sustainable development.

The separate contributions by scholars with roots in either continental European or Anglo-Saxon political philosophy are most informative about this rapidly evolving debate on the desirability of global justice institutions or policies. There are two basic difficulties involved here that the adherents of global justice in this volume struggle with. First, we have reasonableness. If justice amounts to – what the great Roman lawyers already recognised – giving each and everyone his/her due, then we face the complicated question: what should a global citizen reasonably claim – respect, human rights, economic support, strict equality? I would be inclined to scepticism as to the feasibility of the radical demand for a global difference principle à la Rawls. Second, we face governance. If the thicker and thicker carpet of IGOs, NGOs, CSOs and regional coordination mechanisms can be looked upon as elements in a world government, then we must address the sensitive problem: should international and regional bodies constitute the foundation of a hierarchical governance structure? This is hardly feasible, as it would collide with the basic principle of state sovereignty that remains a leading pillar in public international law, despite being more and more restricted by humanitarian considerations. This book is suitable for Master’s courses in ethics or international relations, applying the cosmopolitan frameworks of Kant or Rawls to the world of today, very much in tune with the increasing support for humanitarian objectives globally. Two articles (Kofman and Nath) provide an excellent examination of the distinction between global and statist (national) egalitarianism. Another argues strikingly for the ideal of equality of opportunity at the global level (Loriaux), while admitting that such a concept ‘has difficulty accommodating cultural differences’. Yet even if one could formulate a rational theory of global justice starting from a few deontological principles, the practicality of implementation remains uncertain, both economically and politically. This book touches upon this problem of feasibility of global justice.
