Introduction
Waste generation is an integral part of any manufacturing process and
often carries a significant cost for the industrial sector. On the other hand,
waste management techniques can decrease the cost of doing business.
Such techniques include prevention and minimization through smart
product and production process design, reuse, recycling, and energy
recovery.
Introductory
Companies that manage their waste adequately also benefit from an
enhanced reputation. Waste is a growing national issue, with the Indian
industrial sector generating an estimated 100 million tons per year of
hazardous solid waste, of which about 60% is recyclable.1
This course will provide an overview of management techniques for
industrial wastes, as well as State and Central Pollution Board regulations
for waste management. The course will also highlight the business
profitability, legal framework, and the economic feasibility of the
environmentally sustainable technologies for waste management.
