University Campus Solid Waste Management Solid Waste–Management Framework

University Campus Solid Waste Management : Solid Waste–Management Framework [Whole solid wastes of the campus are divided into three categories: 60 % organic waste, 20 % recyclable materials, and 20 % other waste. Of organic wastes, 20 % is compostable waste, which could be treated by a composting method in gardening and landscaping. Other organic wastes (40 %) are treated by an anaerobic digestion method. The produced fertilizer could be applied in gardening and landscaping on the campus. Other solid wastes are treated using the RDF method.

Abstract

[Whole solid wastes of the campus are divided into three categories: 60 % organic waste, 20 % recyclable materials, and 20 % other waste. Of organic wastes, 20 % is compostable waste, which could be treated by a composting method in gardening and landscaping. Other organic wastes (40 %) are treated by an anaerobic digestion method. The produced fertilizer could be applied in gardening and landscaping on the campus. Other solid wastes are treated using the RDF method. Electricity generated from RDF and anaerobic digestion could be consumed inside the campus. Nonrecyclable, noncompostable, and noncombustible wastes (<1 %) are taken outside of the campus for landfilling. Recyclable materials (20 %) would be sold to recycling centers to generate revenue.]
