This document discusses waste management and waste minimization. It defines waste as any material that is not needed by its owner or producer. The key aspects of waste management discussed are waste generation, handling, storage, sorting, processing, transport, disposal, and the hierarchy of waste management options. Waste minimization is defined as systematically reducing waste at the source through prevention, efficient resource use, and recycling. Various modern technologies for managing different types of waste like e-waste, greywater, and plastic waste are also summarized. The document stresses the importance of waste prevention and minimization over waste management and highlights issues like lack of awareness and consideration of waste in planning.

4. What is Minimization ?
The act of reducing something to the least possible

waste at source”. It means :
 Prevention and/or reduction of waste generated

8. Electronic Waste (E-Waste)
Electronic products nearing
the end of their "useful life."
Only 20 % of e-waste is recycled in
world
In India there are four e-waste
collection centers Dehli, Pune,
Kolkata, Bangalore.
Only 4% of e-waste is recycled in
India
America recycle only 12% of e-
waste
Americans dump phones
containing over $60 million in
gold/silver every year.
For every 1 million cell phones that
are recycled, 35,274 lbs of copper,
772 lbs of silver, 75 lbs of gold, and
33 lbs of palladium can be recovered.
It takes 530 lbs of fossil fuel, 48 lbs
of chemicals, and 1.5 tons of water
to manufacture one computer and
monitor.

9. Grey Water

Rain Water
Sinks
Showers
Baths
Washing Machines
Dish Washers etc.
Uses of Grey Water:
Irrigation

Ship Demolition

11. AS A Social Being What Is Our Duty ?
To give sorrows to other living beings?
To care about nature and its precious gift?
Smell Bad

12. Waste During Religious Activities
पृथिव्यां त्रीणि रत्नयनन जलमन्नां सुभयषितम् |
(There are three jewels on earth: Water, Food
and Air.)

13. • overproduction
• spoilage, contamination and exceeding expiry dates
• products not meeting the demands of the food
retailing and wholesaling sectors e.g. size and
aesthetic specifications
• food preparation e.g. over trimming.
Pre-
consumer
food waste
(74%)
• customer plate waste from restaurants, cafés .
• any food purchased from a retail store that has
been purchased but then not eaten.
Post-
consumer
food waste
(24%)
Waste In Parties, Restaurants,
Cafe etc.
Lack in storage and transportation
Waste of food is waste of man power, water,
electricity used in production to processing of
food
about 40% of food is wasted in India.
Food waste per year in India of worth 58,000
crore
20 crore Indians will sleep hungry at any given
night
About 7 million children died in 2014 because
of hunger / malnutrition

14. Conclusion
We should concentrate on prevention & Waste minimization before
we think about waste management
We are failing in waste management concepts, because
we don’t consider this during any work planning
Lack in awareness about Modern concepts in waste management
& Tequniques of Waste to Energy technology
