CHAPTER 5
CONCLUSION
Waste audit was conducted for the better waste management. As per the data
collected, surveyed and audited in K.R. Educational institutions, for each day, per head 84
grams of wastes are produced. Among those recyclable wastes are about 30%. In the
recyclable waste, the major wastes are paper and plastic waste. If the paper wastes are sent
to the paper industry for the raw material usage and recycling process. The profit gained
can be estimated as Rs.1205 by. In the overall waste 10% non-recyclable waste are
produced and these wastes are properly dumped as land fill. These wastes which can’t be
recycled are properly collected and sent as dumping material for landfills. But the produced
wastes are currently disposed by open dumping method. This creates the environment
impacts and global warming issues .From the total waste, Composting waste produced is
about 60%. These are used for the biogas plant. It was estimated that nearly 400kg of food
waste which was generated was given to biogas plant. From the processing done in biogas
plant, 30% of slurry was produced that was about 120 kg and also 40m3/hr biogas was
produced by this method. The 120 kg slurry produced can be used as a manure in
vermi-composting. Thus vermicomposting can be introduced to make the organic wastes
as an economically benefited one.
