Hyderabad: After prohibiting the use of a cup of paper, plastic water bottles using a single bio-digester to grow more than 15,000 trees, the Indian Technology Institute of Hyderabad (IIT-H) has now formed a comprehensive waste management system on top of the campus in Kandi in Sangareddy District , In the past two years, the Institute has significantly reduced its carbon footprint with initiatives such as the collection of door-to-door waste, replacing RO water purifiers with UV water purifiers, among others.
“Clean campus culture will not only make IIT Hyderabad a better place to live, but when students leave campus, this culture will develop wherever they go …
it is our duty to nature, to remain intact for that generation of time Front.
Resource Recovery Park (RRP) is one of the small steps in this direction “, said Director of Hyderabad BS BS Murty, at a recent assigned facility.
Murty said the campus already had a functional waste treatment plant based on membrane bioreactor technology.
The solid waste produced on campus is separated into a dry and wet category.
Wet waste, produced in the dormitory chaos, grated and put in biogas digester.
The resulting biogas is used in student eating facilities to reduce fossil fuel consumption.
Wet waste from residential areas sent to the Vermicompost facility at the RRP.
Compost is used for gardening purposes.
Likewise, all biodegradable waste is moved to the hole / windrow platform for composting.
The institution processes biodegradable waste using microbial and vermicomposting techniques.
After being processed, compost is passed through a sieve machine to remove foreign particles and larger pieces of waste.
Compost is then stored in the compost room and then used as fertilizer, the Institute said in a statement.
