Description

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COLLECTING, PROCESSING, AND DISCARDING A PLURALITY OF REJECTS PRODUCTS AND PRODUCING A PLURALITY OF RECYCLED / REPROCESSED PRODUCTS THEREFROM

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to waste management, and, more particularly, to systems and methods for collecting, processing, and discarding a plurality of waste products and producing a plurality of recycled / reprocessed products therefrom.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In current scenario, environmental concerns have forced developed and developing countries to reduce air, water and land pollution for sustainable growth. The principal processes of waste management focus mainly on waste source reduction, reusing, recycling, composting, incineration with or without energy recovery, fuel production and land filling. Waste management models have a common approach of assignment of generating sources to landfills, transfer stations sitting, site selection for landfills, etc. but recently new integrated models have been developed and applied. Waste management system in industrial complexes uses multi-objective mixed integer programming approach for the running of existing facilities in dynamic net work flow models with nonlinear costs of management. All present available solutions and efforts are around waste management, Here through this invention, we are presenting a wholesome solution to get rid of organic waste in the form of "Decentralized Organic Reject Management".

In the world of globalization and industrialization, we consume a huge amount of organic produce in our daily lives. The produce we don't find fit for our consumption or use is waste. Collectively a huge amount of organic waste is generated. Organic waste gets generated from different sources like, raw and cooked food, vegetables, fruits, peel offs, etc. from home & eateries, fruit and vegetables rejects from big and small markets; fruits, flowers, sweets and other many organic rejects from temples; Shredding/cutting of plant parts/branches and grass; Rejected/ fallen leaf from trees around cities; Organic rejected matters from slaughter houses; and Agriculture residues after processing of crops and vegetables. Throughout the years, the amount of Reject generated by individual households, businesses, and governmental units has increased, which converts into waste within a prefixed time frame. Disposal of these waste materials has become more difficult. The inconvenience of waste disposal has increased along with the environmental impact of the waste on land use, potable water, the atmosphere, and the natural environment/ Moreover, the huge amount of organic reject is mostly left to rot and to convert into waste and pollute the environment. In cities, these are dumped at the landfills, burned or thrown in rivers. All this creates huge pollution and creates harm to our precious environment.

Due to rapid industrialization and population explosion, especially in India and other developing countries, has led to the migration of people from villages for a better life expectation. This results in generation of thousands of tons of Solid Waste daily in _N and around cities, Solid wastes are degraded and putrified mixture of those organic and inorganic rejected materials produced by various activities of the society, which have lost their value to the first user only. Solid waste generation is a continually growing problem at global, regional and local levels. The Solid Waste amount is expected to increase significantly in the near future. Irresponsibly discarding, Poor collection and inadequate transportation are responsible for the accumulation of Solid Waste at every nook and corner. The management of Solid Waste is going through a critical phase, due to the unavailability of suitable facilities to treat and dispose of the larger amount of Solid Waste generated daily in metropolitan cities. Unscientific disposal causes an adverse impact on all components of the environment and human health. Improper disposal of solid wastes pollutes all the vital components of the living environment (i.e., air, land and water) at local and global levels. Urban society rejects and generates solid material regularly due to rapid increase in production and consumption. The problem is more acute in developing nations than in developed nations, as their economic growth as well as urbanization is more rapid. This necessitates management of solid waste at generation (especially at Reject level), storage, collection, transfer and transport, processing, and disposal stages in an environmentally sound manner in accordance with the best principles of public health, economics, engineering, conservation, aesthetics and environmental considerations.

Efficient delivery of public services and infrastructure are pressing issues for municipalities in most developing countries; and in many countries, solid waste has become a top priority. Solid waste management (SWM) is challenging now more than costly and complex for governments, including a hard fact that, it is so essential to the health, environment/ and quality of life of the people— in particular, the poor— that municipalities cannot afford to get it wrong. Bad waste collection and disposal practices and improper solid waste disposal contribute to many disease and global greenhouse gases too. Climate change and the effects of greenhouse gas emissions have made SWM one of the most pressing environmental challenges globally as well as locally. It is well understood that inappropriate and traditional SWM practices, such as improper incineration and uncontrolled disposal of waste, are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions: the anaerobic degradation of waste in landfills produces methane, a gas that is 21 times more potent than carbon dioxidei

In urban areas, especially in the rapidly urbanizing cities of the developing world, problems and issues of municipal solid waste management (MSWM) are of immediate importance. Most governments have acknowledged the importance of MSWM; however, rapid population growth overwhelms the capacity of most municipal authorities to provide even the most basic services. According to a United Nations Development Program survey of 151 mayors of cities from around the world, the second most serious problem that city dwellers face (after unemployment) is insufficient solid waste disposal (UNDP 1997). Typically one-to two-thirds of the solid waste that is generated is not collected. The uncollected waste is dumped indiscriminately in the streets and in drains, contributing to flooding or flood like situations in and around metro cities / urban , population, breeding of insect and rodent vectors, and spreading of diseases. Even waste that is collected is often disposed of in uncontrolled dumpsites or burned, polluting water resources and the air. In many cities, municipal solid waste (MSW) contains human and^'animal excrement, hazardous medical waste, as well as hazardous chemical pollutants and sharps. All facilitate disease and injury, especially among children, rag pickers, and employees in the waste management sector. Studies have shown that a high percentage of workers who handle refuse and of individuals who live near or on disposal sites are infected with gastrointestinal parasites, worms, and related organisms. Contamination of this kind is likely at all points where waste is handled. Although it is certain that vector insects and rodents can transmit various pathogenic agents (amoebic and bacillary dysenteries, typhoid fever, salmonellosis, various parasites, cholera, yellow fever, plague, and others), it often is difficult to trace the effects of such transmission to a specific population. The implementation of MSWM practices benefits both public health and environmental quality directly and substantially. The organic, biodegradable component of MSW is important, not only because it constitutes a sizable fraction of the solid waste stream in a developing country but also because of its potentially adverse impact on public health and environmental quality. One major adverse impact is its attraction of rodents and vector insects, for which it provides food and shelter. Impact on environmental quality takes the form - of foul odors and unsightliness. These impacts are not confined merely to the disposal site; they pervade the surrounding area and anywhere that wastes are generated, spread, or accumulated. Unless organic rejects are managed appropriately within a proper time frame, its adverse impact continues until it has fully decomposed or otherwise stabilized.

In addition to the above, poor, inaccessible, and marginal urban areas suffer most from deficiencies in service and infrastructure, thus worsening poverty, ill health, and social marginalization. In low-income or squatter settlements, waste collection is often nonexistent, either because the settlements are informal, unplanned, and possibly unauthorized or because the strategies and technologies adopted for service provision are inappropriate for operating in settlements with narrow and unpaved streets and lanes.

Conventionally, the traditional method of handling municipal solid waste (MSW) and food waste materials has been landfilling, that is, the process of burying waste in a landfill. However, landfilling can cause environmentally unacceptable pollution discharges to the surface and ground waters, air, soil and the environment in general. Studies have shown that food waste by volume is the largest contributor of global climate change because of the release of methane and carbon dioxide from operating landfills. Furthermore, as real estate values increase, landfilling is considered to be an unattractive use of land. Thus, current waste management strategies seek to limit the amount of municipal solid waste (MSW) and food waste materials directed to landfills.

According to the 2011 census there are 8001 towns in India. Of -those towns and , cities, 468 are considered class I, meaning that the population exceeds 100,000. The class I cities alone contribute to more than 72 percent of the total municipal solid waste generated in urban areas. Class I cities include 7 mega cities (which have a population of more than 4 million), 28 metro cities (which have a population of more than 1 million), and 433 other towns (which have a population of more than 100,000). The population growth rate in urban India is high. The percentage of the total population living in urban areas shows a continuous increase. For 2015, a value of more than 32.2 percent is predicted as stated by planning commission in India.

Although there are no comprehensive data on waste generation rates, collection coverage, storage, transport, and disposal volumes and practices, the Central Public Health and Environmental Engineering Organization (CPHEEO) estimated a per capita waste generation in Indian cities and towns in the range of 0.15 to 0.65 kilograms per day. A World Bank publication (Hanrahan, Srivastava, and Ramakrishna 2006) estimated that in 2000 urban India produces approximately 100,000 metric tons of MSW daily or approximately 35 million metric tons of MSW annually. Data concerning the physical composition of MSW are {Sources: For 1996 results, NEERI 1996; for 2005 results, http://www.cpcb.nic.in.) Comparing 1996 with 2005 shows how the physical composition of MSW can change over time along with the changing lifestyle and economic growth of the country. Although the typical urban growth rate has been determined at around 2.5 percent annually (Globalis 2005), the growth of waste generation is outpacing the urban population growth - in Indian cities (Singhal and Pandey 2001). Therefore, urban population growth as well as increasing per capita waste generation will continue to amplify the waste problem. To prevent future problems, India must take immediate steps to control waste generation, to enhance recycling recovery and reuse, and to ensure better collection and sustainable disposal. According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), average collection coverage ranges from 50 to 90 percent. Furthermore, of all collected waste, 94 percent is disposed of in an unacceptable manner without any consideration of state-of-the art engineering principles. Hence, there is severe degradation of groundwater and surface water through leachate, as well as degradation of air through emission of methane and uncontrolled burning of waste.

Specifically in India, SWM is the primary responsibility and duty of the municipal authorities. State legislation and the local acts that govern municipal authorities include special provisions for collection, transport, and disposal of waste. They assign the responsibility for provision of services to the chief executive of the municipal authority. Most state legislation does not cover the necessary technical or organizational details of SWM. However, the municipal acts do not specify in clear terms that responsibilities belong to the citizens for example, the responsibility not to litter or the accountability for storing waste at its source. Moreover, they do not mention specific collection systems such as door-to-door collection of waste, do not mandate appropriate types of waste storage depots, do not require covered waste transport issues, and do not mention aspects of waste treatment or sanitary landfills. Thus, most state legislation, with the exception of that of Kerala, does not fulfill the requirements for an efficient SWM service. Given the absence of appropriate legislation or of any monitoring mechanism on the performance of municipal authorities, the system of waste management has remained severely deficient and outdated. Inappropriate and unhygienic systems are used. At disposal sites, municipal authorities dump municipal waste, human excreta from slum settlements, industrial waste from small industrial establishments within the city, and biomedical waste without imposing any restrictions, thus provoking serious problems of health and environmental degradation.

Recently, an expert committee was appointed by the Supreme Court which identified the, numerous deficiencies in the SWM system in India which includes no storage of waste at source, partial segregation of recyclable waste, no proper system of primary collection of waste at the doorstep, irregular street sweeping, inappropriate system of secondary storage of waste, irregular transport of waste in open vehicles, no treatment of waste, and inappropriate disposal of waste at open dumping grounds. Moreover, there is no consolidated official data available about the status of compliance of MSW. However, Municipal authorities report numerous reasons for noncompliance with the 2000 rules for example, lack of public awareness, motivation, and education, lack of civic sense and bad habits of people to litter, lack of cooperation from households, trade, and commerce, lack of stringent panel provision, lack of powers to levy spot fines, lack of litter bins in the city, long distance between community bins and resistance to change in attitude.

Further, for the process of segregation of recyclable waste materials there is lack of wide publicity through electronic and print media, lack of public awareness and motivation, resulting in poor response from citizens, lack of citizens' understanding how ^'to use separate bins for storage of recyclables, lack of sufficient knowledge of benefits of segregation, lack of cooperation and negative attitude of people, lack of finances to create awareness, difficulty of educating slum dwellers and lack of effective legal remedy.

For collection of waste from doorstep there is lack of awareness and motivation, unavailability of primary collection vehicles and equipment, insufficient response from citizens, lack of financial resources, and difficulty of motivating slum dwellers. Specifically, there is lack of personnel for door-to-door collection and lack of suitable containers. For daily sweeping of streets there are excessive leaves and absenteeism of sanitary workers, unavailability of worker on Sundays and public holidays, prevalence of Kuchha (unpaved) roads and lack of financial resources. However, for abolition of open waste storage depots and placement of containers there is shortage of containers, lack of financial resources, lack of planning for waste storage depots, and inaccessible areas and narrow lanes that do not allow sufficient space for containers.

Old vehicles for example, open body trucks are difficult to replace in current scenario. For processing of waste there is lack of financial resources, lack of technical know-how, lack of skilled personnel, unavailability of appropriate land, lack of basic facilities to set up treatment plants and lack of institutional capacity. Further, for disposal of waste at the engineered landfill there is lack of financial resources, lack of technical personnel, lack of technical know-how for scientific disposal of waste, unavailability of appropriate land and lack of institutional capacity. The above-mentioned deficiencies are primarily caused by apathy of municipal authorities, lack of community involvement, lack of technical know-how, and inadequate financial resources. Moreover, the above- mentioned points constitute main challenges that authorities must tackle to improve the system of waste management in the country.

Segregation of recyclable waste at source is not seriously practiced by households, shops, and establishments in India. At least 15 to 20 percent of the country's total waste could be conveniently segregated at its source for recycling if the practice of segregation of waste at source were adopted. Given the current situation, India needs to upgrade and reorganize its recycling system, to increase the effectiveness of its waste collection and recycling system, and to improve the working conditions of rag pickers.
