Session & Tracks

Track 1: Recycling Basics

Recycling is the practice of recovering used materials from the waste stream and then incorporating those same materials into the manufacturing process. Successful recycling also depends on manufacturers making products from recovered materials and, in turn, consumers purchasing products made of recyclable materials. Does your part "close the loop" and buy products made of recycled materials whenever possible. Recycling is the process of collecting and processing materials that would otherwise be thrown away as trash and turning them into new products. Recycling basics mainly deals with what can I recycle, where can I recycle, how can I recycle? Reduce, Recycling and Reuse of material resources, including circular economy.

Track 2: Waste management Techniques

Waste management techniques are useful to minimize or reduce the waste in environment and these will helpful to keep the environment clean. Commonly used waste management techniques are Ocean Dumping, Sanitary Landfill, Incineration, Recycling, and Composting etc. waste management techniques involve Mechanical and biological waste treatment, Mechanical sorting of wastes, Resource recovery from waste, Methods of Waste Disposal, Recovery and Recycling. All these techniques are useful to minimize the waste in the environment however these are also having some advantages and disadvantages. Recycling is the best waste management technique among all these and the advantage of recycling is key to providing a liviable environment for the future.

Track 3: E-Waste Recycling and Management

Electronic waste, or e-waste is a term used to describe any electronic device that is outdated, obsolete, broken, donated, discarded, or at the end of its useful life. This includes cell phones, computers, laptops, PDAs, monitors, televisions, printers, scanners, and any other electrical device. One of the major challenges is recycling the printed circuit boards from the electronic wastes. The circuit boards contain such precious metals as gold, silver, platinum, etc. and such base metals as copper, iron, aluminium, etc.

Track 4: Solid Waste Management

Solid Waste Management, the collecting, treating, and disposing of solid material that is discarded because it has served its purpose or is no longer useful. Improper disposal of municipal solid waste can create unsanitary conditions, and these conditions in turn can lead to pollution of the environment and to outbreaks of vector-borne disease that is, diseases spread by rodents and insects. The tasks of solid-waste management present complex technical challenges. They also pose a wide variety of administrative, economic, and social problems that must be managed and solved. Solid waste management is one among the basic essential services provided by municipal authorities in the country to keep urban centres clean.

Track 5: Waste Water Recycling

Water recycling is reusing treated waste water for beneficial purposes such as agricultural and landscape irrigation, industrial processes, toilet flushing, and replenishing a ground water basin (referred to as ground water recharge). Water recycling offers resource and financial savings. Wastewater treatment can be tailored to meet the water quality requirements of a planned reuse. Recycled water for landscape irrigation requires less treatment than recycled water for drinking water. Recycled water can satisfy most water demands, as long as it is adequately treated to ensure water quality appropriate for the use.

Track 6: Paper Recycling

Paper is one the material that can be easily recycled. Recycled paper is paper that was made from paper and paper products that has already been used and recovered. People need to take their time and save the paper products so that they can be recycled. Paper recycling begins with us. We all need to show our interest in recycling to make it successful. The Paper recycling activity can start at school, college, home, office, local community and even at drop off centers. We all need to understand what products can be recycled before staring the recycling process and how to properly prepare them for the recycling.

Track 7: Industrial Waste Recycling

Industrial waste is the waste produced by industrial activity which includes any material that is rendered useless during a manufacturing process such as that of factories, mills, and mining operations. It has existed since the start of the Industrial Revolution. Some examples of industrial waste are chemical solvents, paints, sandpaper, paper products, industrial by-products, metals, and radioactive wastes. Toxic waste, chemical waste, industrial solid waste and municipal solid waste are designations of industrial waste. Sewage treatment plants can treat some industrial wastes, i.e. those consisting of conventional pollutants such as biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). Industrial wastes containing toxic pollutants require specialized treatment systems.

Track 8: Chemical Waste Recovery

Chemical waste is defined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and by the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control. Definitions, management practices and compliance are outlined in 40 Code of Federal Regulations and the Delaware Rules Governing Hazardous Waste. All policies and practices developed by the University of Delaware are designed to meet or exceed these regulations and assure compliance.

Track 9: Food Waste Recycling

Food waste or food loss is food that is discarded or lost uneaten. The causes of food waste or loss are numerous, and occur at the stages of production, processing, retailing and consumption. Composting is a way of nature to recycle all the biodegradable materials. It takes place every day of our lives but to shorten the process, we must contribute our efforts to make sure it produces ideal results. The whole society can benefit from that. Composting food wastes is more extensive than composting other organic matters. We must mix the appropriate ingredient to produce healthy soil good for planting. The important advantage of food waste compost is we can plant food using it, unlike other materials that have numbers of pathogens living in it that can cause harm to food crops and to humans eating those. We can recycle the food waste by urban composting. This method is a two stage process. The first stage rapidly breaks down your food waste without any foul odors using a simple fermentation process. In the second stage your compost is allowed to age and mature, further decomposing into rich hummus for your garden. Meat and dairy can be recycled by using this method. Diversion of food waste from disposal is becoming a priority for local authorities in the UK. As at May 2011 47% of local authorities in the UK are providing a food waste collection service to householders and an increasing number are looking to collect food waste from small businesses and schools.

Track 10: Agriculture Waste Recycling

Agricultural waste is defined as ‘waste from premises used for agriculture within the meaning of the Agriculture Act 1947, the Agriculture (Scotland) Act 1948 or the Agriculture Act (Northern Ireland) 1949'. Agricultural practice covers all activities that can occur on a farm or croft and includes activities such as slurry spreading, chemical and waste storage, silage making and waste pesticide disposal. The waste stream may include a range of items and materials that are not specific to agriculture such as packaging waste, tyres, batteries, scrap machinery and oil. In addition, there will be waste that is more specific to the sector such as pesticide containers, silage wrap etc.

Track 11: Rubber Recycling

Rubber recycling is the process of recycling of rubber products such as vehicle tires, industrial rubber scraps that are no longer suitable for use on vehicles due to wear or irreparable damages such as punctures and permanent damage. These tires are among the largest and most problematic sources of waste, due to the large volume produced, their durability, and the fact they contain a number of components that are ecologically problematic. It is estimated that 259 million tires are discarded annually in the 1980s and 1990s. The same characteristics that make waste tires problematic, their cheap availability, bulk, and resilience, also make them attractive targets for recycling. Nonetheless more than half of used tires are simply burned for their fuel value even in advanced countries like Germany, 55% are estimated to be burnt for fuel. Approximately, one tire is discarded per person per year. Tires are also often recycled for use on basketball courts and new shoe products. However, material recovered from waste tires, known as "crumb," is generally only a cheap "filler" material and used high volumes. Landfill dumping technique and incineration techniques are not suitable for the rubber recycling due to its high smoke producing nature an also due to the high consuming space on the earth.

Track 12: Metal and Plastic Recycling

Plastic and metal recycling is the process of recovering scrap or waste plastic or other metal and remodifying the material into useful products, sometimes completely different in form from their original state. This includes the melting down of the soft drink bottles and then producing them as plastic chairs and tables. However, this type of recycling is rather risky since plastic beverage bottles such as soda, juice, milk are never truly reproduced into new beverage bottles, as this requires virgin plastic. The recycling process of plastic may benefit for the healthy environment and this will helpful for the minimization of the environment pollution. Plastics are also recycled during the manufacturing process of plastic goods such as polythene film and bags. Most of the research going on the recycling of the plastic especially in Europe countries. Countries which are doing research on recycling are Switzerland, United States, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Italy, Senegal etc. The main aim the recycling of the plastic is to minimize the environment pollution remoulding the waste plastic products into the newly useful products

Track 13: Circulatory Economy

While Population and welfare are growing, providing the world with metals is becoming a major challenge. Only by closing the loop will metals be available in sufficient quantities, not just now but also in the future: urban mining, the substantial re-use and recycling of metals. Within circulation economics, reuse and material recycling should clearly take priority over disposal. The real value of recycling emerges from the framework of an integrated system of waste management, but as can be seen it is better not to create waste in the first place. Therefore, we must say that recycling only represents a reasonable partial solution.

Track 14: Recycling Market

Government of each and every country is allotting grants to recycling the waste and implementing projects to reuse the material. For an example England Government is funding grants for seven recycling projects and it was published on Aug 2015. The main theme is to recover at least 75%waste from the landfill by 2021. The grants allotted for each project as follows $5 million to Dial-A-Dump to build a new commercial and industrial waste facility, $5 million to Resource Co Asia (Australia) to establish a new facility to recover dry mixed commercial and industrial waste, $2.645 million to Bio-Coal to develop a new facility to recover organic material from kerbside residual waste, $1.937 million to the City of Newcastle to establish a new mixed waste facility, $1.3 million to Relivit to construct and operate a facility to process absorbent hygiene waste, $1.05 million to PGM Refiners to build an e-waste recycling facility, $1 million to Doyle Bros to establish a material recovery facility to process dry commercial and industrial waste

Track 15: Construction Waste Management

Construction waste generated can be eliminated through durable modular metal form systems for use in concrete construction may be selected on the basis of being readily demountable and reusable on other projects. Removal of waste can be helpful to decrease impacts on human health and the environment. Construction waste is anything generated as a result of construction and then abandoned, regardless of whether it has been processed or stockpiled. It comprises surplus materials from site clearance, excavation, construction, refurbishment, renovation, demolition and road works. In an era of increasing energy prices, construction and demolition waste will be more widely recognized as a recoverable resource. Natural materials, for example, wood and plant squanders will progressively be perceived as imperative segments of biofuel feedstock in the age of alleged green power. Modern reusing gear producers are putting resources into advancement of enhanced apparatus which can possibly change the effective arranging and preoccupation of waste. Modern shredders decrease physical volume and deliver particles of steady measurement, permitting productive mechanical partition. Mechanical air detachment innovation permits proficient isolation of materials with contrasting mass attributes, therefore isolating little bits of wood and plastic from metal and total.

Track 16: Renewable energy

Renewable energy is energy that is collected from renewable resources, which are naturally replenished on a human timescale, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat. Renewable energy often provides energy in four important areas: electricity generation, air and water heating/cooling, transportation, and rural (off-grid) energy services. The use of renewable can be seen in day to day life basically in four areas electricity generation, air and water heating and cooling transportation and rural(off-grid) energy services. The existence of this energy has been finding across wide geographical area as compared to other energy sources. Large application of renewable energy has resulted in significant improvement in energy security, climate change mitigation and economic benefits. The use of renewable energy has directed the people to move forward from conventional fuels due to the environmental reasons.

Track 17: Effect of 3RS on climate change

Effect of 3RS in Climate Change Reduce, recycle and reuse to decrease climate change. Climate change is any major change in measures of climate, which include temperature, precipitation, rainfall, snow and wind. These changes last for decades or longer. Many factors are causing climate change, including human activities through burning fossil fuels, cutting down trees, planting trees and building developments. Most scientists now agree that climate change is happening.

Track 18: Thermal Waste Recovery

Thermal waste recovery is the process of treatment technology that involves high temperature in processing of waste feed stock; generally, it involves the combustion of waste materials. The main objectives in the development of this technology were to ensure good environmental compatibility and to achieve complete recycling of the residual materials wherever possible. Thermal waste recycling technology converts waste into products which can be recycling directly without further processing. The process does not produce any waste water. Therefore, the process provides usable energy, for example electric current etc.
