 AKNOWLEDGEMENT

We express our sincere thanks to our guides

for guiding us in doing this project.
We are very thankful to Principal and
Management
for encouragement and providing us all
facilities
to carryout this project.
 SELECTION OF PROJECT
As we all know “ waste management / segregation” is
nothing but sorting out solid waste into different
categories & treating it efficiently by dumping it into
safe areas or recycling it for more use . However ,
waste is not something that should be discarded or
disposed with no regard for future use . It could be a
valuable resource if addressed correctly through
policy & practices . Also , waste management is
beneficial for various aspects of environment &
economy .
Therefore , the idea behind selecting this project is to
understand the real importance of waste management
& to actively participate in it . Also to learn the
relevance of waste management & to analyse it.
 AIM AND OBJECTIVES

• To understand the importance of waste

management.
• To collect the data accurately .
• To participate in waste management .
• To observe & achieve the goal of waste
management .
• To learn the relevance of waste management on
economy, environment , society , etc .
• To analysis on waste management & observe
results , conclusions & findings .
 REVIEW OF LITERATURE

 Electronic waste (e-waste) is one of the fastest-growing pollution problems

worldwide given the presence if a variety of toxic substances which can
contaminate the environment and threaten human health, if disposal protocols
are not meticulously managed. This paper presents an overview of toxic
substances present in e-waste, their potential environmental and human health
impacts together with management strategies currently being used in certain
countries. Several tools including Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Material Flow
Analysis (MFA), Multi Criteria Analysis (MCA) and Extended Producer
Responsibility (EPR) have been developed to manage e-wastes especially in
developed countries. The key to success in terms of e-waste management is to
develop eco-design devices, properly collect e-waste, recover and recycle
material by safe methods, dispose of e-waste by suitable techniques, forbid the
transfer of used electronic devices to developing countries, and raise awareness
of the impact of e-waste. No single tool is adequate but together they can
complement each other to solve this issue. A national scheme such as EPR is a
good policy in solving the growing e-waste problems
 RELEVANCE
Waste is not something that should be discarded or disposed of
with no regard for future use. It can be a valuable resource if
addressed correctly, through policy and practice. With rational
and consistent waste management practices there is an
opportunity to reap a range of benefits. Those benefits include:
 Economic - Improving economic efficiency through the means
of resource use, treatment and disposal and creating markets
for recycles can lead to efficient practices in the production
and consumption of products and materials resulting in
valuable materials being recovered for reuse and the potential
for new jobs and new business opportunities.
 Social - By reducing adverse impacts on health by proper
waste management practices, the resulting consequences are
more appealing settlements. Better social advantages can lead
to new sources of employment and potentially lifting
communities out of poverty especially in some of the
developing poorer countries and cities.
 Environmental - Reducing or eliminating adverse impacts on
the environmental through reducing, reusing and recycling,
and minimizing resource extraction can provide improved air
and water quality and help in the reduction of greenhouse
 Human beings have been practicing primitive waste
management techniques for thousands of years. Early
humans simply dug a hole and buried their refuse and
trash. This was an effective technique for these early
people because their population was relatively small, and
they did not produce as much garbage as modern
humans do. Burying the trash helps to prevent bugs and
rodents from becoming a nuisance and spreading
diseases.
 In the modern world, humans cannot simply bury their
trash. While primitive humans produced very little waste,
and that which was produced would biodegrade quickly,
modern humans produce large amounts of waste, much
of which is not biodegradable. Additionally, many types of
garbage may be damaging to the soil, ground water and
surrounding habitat. To address this problem, modern
 PROPOSED METHODOLOGY
Some aspects are as follows :-
1. Interview of local population where people give
importance to waste management or segregation .
2. Documentations collected from magazines .
3. Documentations collected from journal .
4. Documentations collected from internet .
5. Collection of newspaper articles for review and literature .
6. Surfing various websites on internet for collecting
different information on the topic & various articles or
pictures .
7. Surfing various websites for collecting data in tabular for
or graphical form for exact analysis on the topic .
8. Collecting various information of waste management
plans undertaken by the government .
9. Collecting various information on the relevance on waste
management i.e. How waste management is beneficial on
various aspect of environment .
 DESCRIPTION OF
METHOD FOLLOWED
The actual method or procedure used for
the execution of this project is as follows:
1) The information is collected from various
websites , magazines , newspaper articles
etc.
2) The analysis on this project is done
where people give importance to waste
management or segregation .
Therefore the entire project is executed by
following the above points.

 ANALYSIS
 India being the 7th largest country in terms of area and 2nd largest
in terms of population constitute immense business opportunities for
domestic and international solid waste management players. The
country has seen some dramatic economical and social developments
in the last decade. Over the last ten years, the GDP has been
growing strongly and per head GDP increased from US$ 481 (INR
21500.7) in 2001 to US$ 1340 (INR 59898) in 2010 . The rising
affluence was the result of fast urbanization, which is resulting in
higher solid waste generation demanding immediate attention.
 According to our report, “India Solid Waste Management Analysis”,
fast urbanization, industrial boom, government’s focus, and private
sector involvement has driven solid waste management market to
witness remarkable expansion both in volume and value terms. The
urbanization rate which was once trailing at 28.7% in 2005 is
anticipated to reach around 34.5% by 2015 that will provide
requisites for solid waste management market to acquire 7% CAGR
growth during 2011-2015. Taking into consideration, India’s
enormous market opportunities, the growth will be attractive
enough to lure domestic as well as foreign companies for investment
and consulting purposes.

 RESULTS / CONCLUSION
Despite the various new technologies that are emerging for
solid waste disposal , land filling still remains the most
solution in the northeastern Illinois region . The
establishment & closure of landfills could pose a potential
hazard to ground water due to leach ate seepage & air
quality due to gas released . Unless proper maintenance &
management is sustained for a fairly long time(30 yrs)
public health may be compromised as a result . Such
management is costly & potentially dangerous if faulty .
Thus , a safer & more sustainable approach may be
minimizing the number of landfills constructed & insuring
their longevity so as not to continue taking viable land for
waste disposal . It is therefore critical to divert waste from
landfills through reduction & recycling .
A continuing rise in the rate of waste production is no longer
acceptable – hazardous waste affects the health of millions
of people and poisons large areas of our planet. In many
places people live surrounded by garbage and landfills. It

 Waste. We give such little importance to this word. Every time we don’t
require something we dispose it of in the waste. But do we ever give a
thought as to how the waste is disposed? Not really. But waste disposal as
well as waste management poses a great environmental threat to our
city.
