CHALLENGES AND MANAGEMENT OF INSTITUTIONAL WASTE

This paper discusses the generation, treatment, disposal and management of the growing volume of waste in Gandhi Institute For Technology, (GIFT) campus. In our institute, daily a large amount of kitchen waste, waste plastic, e-waste, liquid waste is obtained and being utilized for better purposes. An attempt has been made to produce bio gas from kitchen waste. An attempt has also been made to produce fuel oil from college plastic waste collected from cafeteria by sequential pyrolysis reforming process. About the e-waste, after segregation, the functional items are reused. An NGO took the initiative for the collection of the obsolete and non-functional item. The wastewater and construction debris are reused. This initiative is a value-added education, by providing the possibilities for the employees and students to have the Knowledge on the best waste management practice and the impact of waste on the environment. We convert the waste into opportunities.
