WHAT IS WASTE MATERIAL?

 ANY MATERIAL NOT NEEDED BY THE PRODUCER

PROCESSOR OR OWNER
 ANY DISCARDED MATERIAL WHICH HARFULLY
AFFECTS ENVIRONMENT OR LIVING BEINGS.
Waste management is the collection, transport, processing,
recycling or disposal and monitoring of waste materials.

The two conventional principles of waste management were:

‘Dilute and disperse’ or ‘concentrate and contain’.

The main necessity of waste management is to enrich the

resources which are being depleted due to rising population and
increasing consumption rates.
Solid Waste
CLASSIFICATION

 Domestic waste
 Factory waste
 Waste from oil factory
 E-waste
 Construction waste
 Agricultural waste
 Food processing waste
 Bio-medical waste
 Nuclear waste
 Classification of Wastes
 Solid waste- vegetable waste, kitchen waste, household waste
etc.

 E-waste- discarded electronic devices like computer, TV,

music systems etc.

 Liquid waste- water used for different industries eg tanneries,

distilleries, thermal power plants

 Plastic waste- plastic bags, bottles, buckets etc.

 Metal waste- unused metal sheet, metal scraps etc.

 Nuclear waste- unused materials from nuclear power plants

CAUSES OF SOLID WASTE
The main sources for solid wastes are domestic,
commercial, industrial, municipal, and agricultural
wastes.
The composition of a city waste is as follows:

Paper, wood, cardboard 53 %

Metals 8 %
Rubber, plastics, discarded textiles 7 %
Ceramics, glass, crockery 10 %
Garbage 22 %
A. OVER POPULATION:
POLLUTION NATURALLY INCREASES WITH THE GROWING
NUMBER OF PERSONS, PRODUCE MORE WASTE.

B. AFFLUENCE:
THE TENDENCY TO PRONOUNCE THE THINGS AS FASHION
AND CHECK THEM OUT, WHEN NOT REQUIRED AS OUT OF FASHION.
C. TECHNOLOGY:
PACKAGING OF MOST OF THE GIFTS IS CONSIDERED AS THE SOURCE OF
SOLID WASTE POLLUTION AS MOST OF THESE ARE NON-
BIODEGRADABLE.
D. DUE TO POOR IMPLEMENTATION OF ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION
LAWS, URBANIZATION, LACK OF AWARENESS AND LACK OF
PARTICIPATION FROM THE PUBLIC, THE PROBLEM OF SOLID WASTE HAS
INCREASED AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL.
E. GROWTH IN CONSUMPTION LEADS TO CONSUMPTION OF ITEMS AND
ON THE OTHER HAND, WASTES PRODUCTION.
AFFECTS OF SOLID WASTE POLLUTION
A. CONTAMINATES WATER AND AIR, RESULTING INTO DISEASES AND
DYSENTERY IN HUMAN BEINGS.
B. MOSQUITOES BREED IN THE STAGNANT WATER, BLOCKED DUE TO
WASTE CHOKED IN THE DRAINS.
C. DECOMPOSITION OF SOLID WASTE SPREADS OBNOXIOUS ODOUR IN
THE AIR, THUS POLLUTING IT.
D. BURNING OF WASTE, ESPECIALLY PLASTIC ADDS UP OBNOXIOUS
FUMES IN THE AIR.
E. GARBAGE DUMPS AND DECOMPOSED WASTE HELPS MANY HARMFUL
SPECIES TO BREED IN THEM.
F. THE INFECTED WATER SUPPLY ALSO LEADS TO LARGE SCALE
EPIDEMICS.
NEED FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT

 India generates around 0.2 to 0.3 million tons of waste on an

average everyday
 Pollution
 It devalues nearby land properties
 Pollutes groundwater, air and produces pungent odor
 Hazardous plastic waste(indegradable)
 Creates health issues
• CLOUDBURST IN MUMBAI (2005) CLOGGED THE SEWAGE LINE DUE
TO LARGE NO. OF PLASTIC BAGS

• BLAST IN THE BHUSAN STEEL FACTORY AT NOIDA, CAUSED DUE TO

IMPORTED SCRAP FROM IRAN

• REDUCTION IN THE NUMBER OF MIGRATORY BIRDS DUE TO

CONSUMPTION OF CONTAMINATED FOODS

• STRAY ANIMALS DYING ON STREETS AND FARMLAND DUE TO

CONSUMPTION OF PLASTIC BAGS, WHICH BLOCKS THE FOOD
MOVEMENT IN THEIR STOMACH
 Open dumps create a
public nuisance,
divert land from
more productive uses,
and depress the value
of surrounding land.

 Opendumps have
become the feeding
grounds for children
from poor homes
 MAGNITUDE OF PROBLEM

- Per capita waste generation increasing by 1.3% per

annum

- With urban population increasing between 3 –

3.5% per annum

- Yearly increase in waste generation is around 5%

annually
- India produces 42.0 million tons of municipal solid
waste annually at present.

- Per capita generation of waste varies from 200 gm

to 600 gm per capita / day. Average generation rate at
0.4 kg per capita per day in 0.1 million plus towns.

- Collection efficiency ranges between 50% to 90% of

the solid waste generated.
% Collection of waste in cities
 QUANTITY OF WASTE GENERATION

TOTAL QUANTITY OF SOLID WASTE 1.15 LAKH TONNE

GENERATED IN URBAN AREAS PER DAY (TPD)
OF THE COUNTRY
% OF TOTAL
GARBAGE
WASTE GENERATED IN 6 MEGA CITIES 21,100 TPD 18.35%

WASTE GENERATED IN METRO CITIES 19,643 TPD 17.08%

(1 MILLION PLUS TOWNS)

WASTE GENERATED IN OTHER 42,635.28 TPD 37.07%

CLASS-I TOWNS
(0.1 MILLION PLUS TOWNS) ____________ _________
83,378.28 TPD 72.50%

IF WASTE PRODUCED IN ALL CLASS-I CITIES IS TACKLED, PERCENTAGE

OF WASTE SCIENTIFICALLY MANAGED WOULD BE 72.5% OF TOTAL
WASTE.
WASTE MANAGEMENT
REUSE RECYCLE
Burning of combustible solid wastes in properly
constructed incineration plants.

Recovers energy that would otherwise be

lost.
Disadvantage-Emits dangerous cancer causing
compounds called Dioxins
The conversion of biodegradable waste like vegetable peels into manure to use in agricultural
purposes.
PROCESSES CARRIED OUT DURING THE SOLID WASTE
MANAGEMENT

 WASTE COLLECTION
 SEGREGATION
 RECYCLING
 SHREDDING OR PULVERIZING
 COMPOSTING
WASTE COLLECTION

 From individual houses, wastes can be collected in person with

the help of vehicle.

 To minimize the time and cost involved in collecting waste

through vehicles, public can be given instruction to dump their
house wastes in one place (nearby their street).
SEGREGATION
 SEPARATION INTO DEGRADABLE & NON-DEGRADABLE MATERIALS

 USE OF MAGNET

 REDUCES AMOUNT OF WASTE GOING FOR COMPOSTING

RECYCLING

The non-degradable and degradable wastes can be recycled very

economically in the recycling
plants.

Apart from sending wastes to recycling plant, recycling of some

organic waste is possible.

Some of the waste recycling techniques are: Fly ash, Organic

wastes, Slag and scrap, Industrial gases, Waste waters,
Recovery of silver from photographic films.
COMPOSTING

Aerobic composting is one of the cheapest and easiest methods

that are being available for MSW.

Generally, composting can be carried out in three techniques.

They are
i) Windrow composting
ii) Aerated static pile method
iii) In vessel method
