Transforming Waste and Residues

Ranu Chaturvedi


Abstract:

Solid waste refers to any refuse, garbage, sludge from water supply treatment plants, wastewater treatment plants and other discarded materials which include solid, semi-solid, liquid or gases discharged from community activities as well as from commercial, agricultural, industrial and mining operations. There is an indiscriminate disposal of solid wastes generated by domestic, commercial nep ysl and industrial activities. In Indian urban areas, wastes of all kinds and piles of garbage are littered everywhere. The rural areas have also not been spared from the menace of mounting garbage and associated hazards. With the expanding population coupled with wasteful consumerism and general ignorance regarding cleanliness, the symptoms of stress on the environment and living conditions are clearly evident in rural as well as urban areas of India.
