Abstract :
This paper provides the reader with an
understanding of the types of solid waste, disposal
methods and its advantages and disadvantages as well as
available technologies such as ISWM, WTE and
Thermolysis solid waste processing with the aim of
raising awareness that technology is available. to reduce
untreated waste disposal in a manner that is not
detrimental to public health. According to the Ministry
of Environment, of the Government of India 75-80% of
municipal waste is collected but only 22-28% of this
waste is collected , processed and treated It is projected
that "Garbage generation will increase from 62 million
tons to 165 million tons by 2030," It is, therefore,
imperative to mention that there is a need to raise
awareness and that there is still much to be done in
waste management so that the amount of waste
processed or treated in the country increases from 22-
28% to at least 70% by 2030.
SYNOPSIS:- According to the Ministry of
Environmental & Forests (1) it is estimated that 62
million tons of solid waste are generated annually in the
country where only 22-28% of this waste is processed in
an environmentally friendly manner. The rest goes to the
garbage dump. Declaration In order to successfully
achieve a high percentage of solid waste processing, solid
waste classification needs to be done. Non-perishable
waste can be used to make compost or fuel to remove
waste from the Power Plants or to fill the gas thus
reducing solid waste sent to the landfill. Hazardous
waste such as plastic, waste rubber, debris and medical
waste can also be processed using a thermolysis / Plasma
process [1] to convert this waste into oil / gas.
