enthaltenThe “Smart Solid waste management” course provides a comprehensive understanding of Solid Waste Management (SWM), addressing challenges and opportunities in handling diverse waste streams. It covers fundamental concepts, waste classification, and global and Indian perspectives, emphasizing sustainable practices like the 3Rs and integrated SWM. Key topics include waste characterization, collection, transportation, and treatment technologies such as composting, anaerobic digestion, incineration, and pyrolysis.
The course also explores landfill design, leachate management, and specialized waste streams like e-waste, plastic, and biomedical waste. Emerging innovations, including smart waste systems and life cycle assessments, are discussed alongside case studies. Policies, regulatory frameworks, and initiatives like the Swachh Bharat Mission are examined. By the end, participants will gain skills to design and implement effective SWM strategies, making it ideal for professionals and students in environmental management, urban planning, and sustainability fields.
Target Learners:
§Undergraduate students of Civil Engineering
§Post-Graduate Students of Environmental Engineering
§Practicing Engineers
§Faculties of Civil Engineering Domain
Praktisches Lernprojekt
Learners will engage in a hands-on project to design and implement a sustainable Solid Waste Management (SWM) system. This includes waste characterization, collection optimization, treatment selection, and landfill design. The project integrates policy analysis, technological innovations, and practical sustainability strategies to develop an efficient, regulatory-compliant waste management plan.
