7.1.3 QlM | Describe the facilities in the Institution for the management of the following types of degradable and non-degradable waste (within 200 words):
The institute has successfully adopted a well-developed waste management system for greater efficiency and sustainability. Following are the key steps performed for waste management: Solid Waste Management Different garbage collecting bins have been placed at various locations for solid waste management. Waste disposal is done by NKDA on a daily basis. It is also ensured that all of these components are recycled at lowest possible cost and with least amount of effort. Liquid Waste Management Wastewater and sewage treatment follows the aerobic sewage treatment technique. Waste-water is treated and used in the gardening process. Rainwater harvesting is also practiced, which involves collecting and storing rainwater for later use. E-waste Management Defective electronic devices are repaired to guarantee that they can be utilized further. E-waste is safely disposed off in collaboration with Hulladek Recycling Pvt. Ltd. as per state government guidelines. Waste recycling system Waste-water after the purification process is used for gardening. Paper-waste is recycled and e-waste is disposed of in a proper way. Hazardous chemicals waste management : Firstly, in the lab we use very dilute solutions. Secondly, we never discard the chemicals/solutions directly to the basin/environment. Rather, we use a neutralization pit into which the students discard solutions which are mostly slightly acidic or alkaline, as and when they need. And later on we make the solutions/chemicals neutralized and then we dispose of it from the neutralization pit. Campus is free of hazardous chemicals and radioactive waste.
