3T's: Trash to Treasure

R Ganesh

Abstract


Modern technophilic world is facing a serious headache of waste management, especially

different types of waste. Everyday thousands of tonnes of waste are dumped to the garbage but
there is no proper solution to treat and recycle the waste . Under the impact of the urbanization,
waked in to the fact that their natural resources are undergone depletion. Environmental
problems started to be confronted due to always tending towards new resources, the fact that
wastes generated as a result of consumption could not find a place in the ecological cycle, and
the rapid population growth. At the present time, waste which is increasing day by day becomes
eyesore and in turn pollutes the environment . A large amount of waste is being brought or
discarded or burned which leads to the contamination of environment and air. Hence,one should
know about Recycling, these waste are to be effectively utilised once
again.Refuse,Reduce,Reuse,Recycle Plastic as treasure. The best and the ultimate solution to
waste,particularly to non-degraded one is the least use or no use of such material.
This paper tries to arrive to a solution for obtaining solution from waste produced to some extent.
In the light of developing technological opportunities, issues such as collection, storage,
classification, separation, and recycling of waste materials have come into prominence. In line
with these developments, the ecological awareness of the people towards the environment has
be increased.Landfill Gas (LFG), Sports persons clothes, pavement blocks, planters,building
materials,furnitures, energy, transportation, 3-Dimensional (3D) Printing Technology etc can be
produced using Waste produced.The aim of the study was to explore the various options
available to capture and utilization and conduct a prefeasibility analysis for various options
dealing with waste.
