For any industry or factory that is in some sort of manufacturing process, waste generation is always an inherent process. It could occur at a time to time basis or it could be generated as a part of daily activities.
And when it comes to wastes there are two types that your industry can produce if you think from the environmental perspective and their capability to damage and harm the environment.
These are hazardous and non-hazardous wastes.
Here we will discuss some of the waste management and disposal techniques for both types of wastes-
Hazardous waste management disposal techniques
Waste reduction and recycling
It is often better to treat hazardous waste as much as possible so that it becomes almost non-redundant. This the way the quantity of the wastes also reduces and it becomes easier to dispose of the left out material.
Incineration and combustion
One of the ways is to burn the left out hazardous wastes in boilers and furnaces. This way the toxicity of the waste is taken care of. The heat generated in the process can also be sued for powering motors and turbines to run the machines for thermal power.
Injection wells
These are the deeply dug out wells in which the waste is dumped deep beneath the earth’s surface so that it does negligible damage to the earth’s surface. Eventually, the wastes dry up and get inside porous rock formations.
Non-hazardous waste management disposal techniques
These types of wastes are not harmful to nature, but they still have to be dumped carefully for the waste to be contained within an area.
The most common processes here are-
Composting
As we all know that composting is the process that is generally carried out in the case of organic wastes. Eventually, the matter turns up as nutrients that are taken up by the plants for their growth.
The process of composting starts off by digging the earth and forming a small hole in which the waste is dumped and then the soil is covered on top of it.
Landfilling
There are large stretches of waste and marshy land that cannot be put to efficient use. But with the help of the landfilling technique over the years a wasteland can be filled out slowly with wastes and then soil covered on top to turn it into commercial land that can be put for agricultural uses or for building infrastructure.
