The“energy crisis and environmental destruction are the principal problems in the present day due to the rapid industrialization and growing population. Degradation of solid waste such as plastic bottles, grocery bags, etc. in nature takes many years. Besides, plastic disposing methods like landfill, reusing, and burning can create severe risks to the human health and environment. Therefore, plastic must be kept under control from damaging the environment. One of the most favorable and effective disposing methods is pyrolysis, which is an environmentally friendly and efficient way. Pyrolysis is the thermal degradation of solid wastes at high temperatures to produce pyrolytic oil. The pyrolytic oil produced is converted into pyrolytic fuel very similar to diesel or gasoline by”upgrading.
Waste“generation has increased multifold in the past decade. Waste management hierarchy states, proper inventory management to waste minimisation is a key, changes in production process, recycling, co-processing, resource recovery are some ways to minimize improper waste disposal. This project focuses on two examples on how recycling is effective in disposing of the plastic waste generated and how Co-processing and pyrolysis provides a complete environment friendly way for disposal of waste. The Ergonomic Study on Ragpickers provides a sustainable solution to the livelihood of workers. This project focuses on finding sustainable waste management solutions based on”principles of circular economy.
