Solid Waste Management – Feasibility of Technology Transfer

Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering Department of Environmental Engineering February 10 – 20, 2017 ...... Overview Rising global population and strong coupling between economic development and consumption have led to depletion of resources and generation of waste at a rate faster than ever before. Solid waste management is one among the basic essential services provided by municipal and local authorities (LAs) to keep urban centres clean. However, it is among the most poorly rendered services – the systems applied are unscientific, outdated and inefficient; population coverage is low; and the poor are marginalized. Newer waste streams such as electrical and electronic waste (e-waste), hazardous waste, health-care and plastic waste, Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste, etc., have surfaced posing bigger challenges for LAs responsible for waste management. Waste management has become a major concern for emerging economies of the world that do not have adequate infrastructure and services and lack comprehensive waste management related policies and legislation. Constraints on financial resources and technical knowhow further compound the problem. Poor management of waste leads to adverse impacts on human health and ecosystems.

Organized Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (3R) of waste is rarely evident, especially to create "green jobs and investments". The LAs have therefore two major challenges to face - one is the quantity or sheer volume of waste and second - the rising complexity of waste characteristics (i.e. newer waste streams). For LAs who are more akin to management of conventional municipal solid waste (MSW), these challenges are very special and critical - demanding capacity building and reforming management structure. Staff at the LAs needs to improve understanding on the technology options available in developed countries especially related to waste reduction, reuse, recycling treatment and disposal. Concept of Integrated SWM is very relevant in this context and LAs need to be trained as well as more research is needed on how to apply ISWM.

Griffith University, Australia has been appointed as one of the Sub-Secretariats as high quality training providers in the waste management area. Griffith’s Graduate Certificate in Waste Management has been operating since 1998 training waste management professionals from around the world in developing their skills and leadership in key areas such as municipal SWM, hazardous waste management, resource efficient and cleaner production. Key feature of these courses is the heavy emphasis on waste management in developing countries to cater for number of trainees from those countries. This course is organized in two modules that should be taken together. The topics in Module A will expose the participants to the basics of solid waste management, policy and strategy approaches, initiatives in waste recovery & recycle, scientifically engineered disposal sites followed by few applied case studies and designs. Topics in Module B include hazardous waste management, emerging hazardous waste streams and E-waste management followed by a few applied case studies and design examples. Course participants will learn these topics through lectures and hands-on exercise. Also case studies and assignments will be shared to stimulate research motivation in participants.

The objective of organizing this course is to: 1. Provide opportunity to learn and share knowledge in cutting edge areas of solid waste management, specifically, incineration and energy recovery, waste and climate change, waste management planning and strategy development, hazardous waste regulations and treatment, cleaner production concepts, business and economic potential of resource recovery and recycling from e-waste, feasibility of technology transfer to developing countries. 2. Provide opportunity to participants to seek knowledge and experience from reputed International faculty on solid waste management. 3. Give an opportunity for students/ researchers to interact and learn subjects in niche areas through collaborative learning process with the students of different Institutes/Universities. 4. Provide opportunity for the technical persons from Indian Industry to improve understandings and update their knowledge in solid waste management area. 5. Motivate the best international experts in the world to work on solid waste problems related to India. 6. Elevate scientific and technological capacity to global excellence.
