Description
Abstract: Waste generation in today’s life is increasing day by day in various forms, may it be biodegradable or non-biodegradable. Biodegradable waste like paper, wood, cardboard, and others like metals is not creating trouble as they can easily be recycled or decomposed without harming the environment. On the other hand, plastic and other non-biodegradable waste is becoming a matter of concern for so many reasons to be listed. To overcome such issues, many initiatives have been taken by various groups along with many government programs. This field study deals with one of the material recovery facilities at Indore. This facility was visited and checked for its working procedure. The facility was working on dry plastic waste of different forms, which was being collected from residential, public, and commercial areas in this location. With the help of collecting vehicles and manpower, the waste was collected and segregated in different forms to be sent for further processing to form Gatta pipes, and for other purposes like recycling, waste to recovery plants, and the landfills.
