Decentralised Waste Management

 

“There is no such thing as ‘Away’. When we throw anything away, it must go somewhere”

Today humans generate more waste than ever before which is not only an environmental problem but also an economic loss. On an average, over 377 million urban people living in 7,935 towns and cities generate almost 62 million tonnes (MT) of municipal solid waste per annum.

Of this waste generated only 43 MT of the waste is collected, 12 MT is treated and 31 MT is dumped in landfill sites by municipal authorities within or outside the city haphazardly, creating various issues like:

  • Waste collector dumping waste on road sides creating unhygienic condition
  • Solid waste disposal often takes up valuable and costly land
  • Your dry waste is not giving you any earning
  • No facility to treat wet waste on-site
  • No resource recovery from waste

Therefore, Solid Waste Management issue is the biggest challenge to the authorities of both small and large cities in developing countries. The problem is posed due to the manifold increase in generation of solid waste and the burden posed on the municipal budget. In addition to the high costs, the solid waste management is also associated with a lack of understanding over different factors that affect the entire handling system.

How can we change the way we produce and consume, so as to produce less and less waste, while using all waste as a resource? – Achieve Zero waste in a community/Township

The key to efficient waste management is to ensure proper segregation of waste at source and to ensure that the waste goes through different streams of recycling and resource recovery. 

Source segregation of waste into Organic waste, Dry waste, Sanitary Waste.

  “Your Data, Our Responsibility”“Your Data, Our Responsibility” Regardless of industry or size, organizations lately believe data drives business. Whether, it is assembling, using, buying, transferring, or storing data, there’s one issue businesses have in common: they have to work out what to do with that data once it’s not necessary to stay. With the amount of knowledge breaches have increased exponentially over the last decade, following best practices for secure data destruction is important, especially when recycling or removing or reorganizing data. Not only is it vital to make sure your data is wiped from recycled devices. It’s also important to back-up any necessary information. Many products that appear broken still have sensitive data. This data is often restored and transferred to other devices, which could end in your personal or business data being obtained by other individuals. Here are a couple of benefits of ensuring complete data destruction: Prevent Data Leaks Keep P

  Over the last few decades, exploitation and degradation of the environment have drastically gone up at an alarming rate. Environmental problems such as global warming, waste disposal, air pollution, and water pollution are serious concerns for the environment. Fortunately, our nations and environmentally-conscious organizations have started taking action to protect the planet. To help, everyone should consider reducing the volume of waste generated, and to reuse materials whenever possible. Recycling is also one of the most effective ways to preserve our planet. Everyone should be involved to help recycling and sustainability impact deliver better results. Recycling and Sustainability As the concept and need for recycling become accepted by most, it is important to continue emphasizing how it affects sustainability.
