Waste Management

Waste Management policy in the institution

 

     Managing waste by turning it into useful items through creative reuse is a great approach for environmental sustainability. Our institution WEC, Eco Club and other Supporting Services Committee co-ordinators following a structured way to approach best out of waste management:

1. Segregation and Collection: Begin by segregating waste into categories like paper, plastic, glass, metal, and organic waste. Ensure proper collection methods are in place.       
   
2. Identification of Usable Waste: Determine which waste materials can be creatively repurposed or recycled. For example, old newspapers, plastic bottles, glass jars, etc.
3. Creative Reuse Projects: Encourage creativity by organizing workshops or contests where people can learn to create useful items from waste materials. Ideas include:
   • Paper: Create papier-mâché art, paper beads for jewelry, or use for packaging material.
   • Plastic: Make flower pots, organizers, or even eco-bricks.
   • Glass: Turn bottles into lamps, vases, or decorative items.
   • Metal: Use cans for pencil holders or planters.
   • Organic Waste: Compost organic waste to enrich soil for gardening.
4. Educational Programs: Conduct awareness programs to educate people on the importance of waste management and the benefits of creative reuse. Schools, communities, and workplaces can participate.
5. Promotion of Eco-friendly Products: Encourage the use of products made from recycled materials. This supports the market for recycled goods and promotes sustainable practices.
6. Monitoring and Evaluation: Regularly WEC and Eco Club assess the impact of your initiatives. Measure waste reduction, recycling rates, and community engagement levels to track progress and make improvements.

Creating home decorations from waste materials can be both fun and eco-friendly.

1.      Tin Can Lanterns: Clean used tin cans can be painted and decorated to create beautiful lanterns. Poke holes in patterns or designs, place a tea light inside, and enjoy the soft glow.

2.      Plastic Bottle Planters: Cut plastic bottles horizontally, leaving the bottom part to use as a planter. Paint or decorate the outside to match your decor, then plant herbs or small flowers inside.

3.      Newspaper Wall Art: Roll up newspaper tightly and glue the rolls together to form shapes or words. Paint them in different colors or keep them natural for a minimalist look, then frame them for wall art.

4.      CD Mosaic Mirror Frame: Use old CDs that you no longer need. Break them into small pieces and create a mosaic design on a mirror frame or any other surface. The reflective surface adds a unique touch.

5.      Old Fabric Cushion Covers: If you have old clothes or fabrics, repurpose them into cushion covers. Cut and sew them into patchwork designs or use them to cover existing cushions for a fresh look.

6.      Jars as Vases: Old glass jars can be cleaned and used as vases for fresh or dried flowers. Paint them, tie ribbons around them, or add other embellishments to match your style.

7.      Wooden Pallet Furniture: If you have access to wooden pallets, you can transform them into furniture pieces like coffee tables, shelves, or even outdoor seating. Sand them down and repaint for a polished look.

8.      Tire Ottomans: Old tires can be cleaned, painted, and topped with a cushion to create stylish ottomans for indoor or outdoor use.

9.      Magazine Wall Collage: Cut out colorful pages from old magazines and arrange them into a collage on a blank wall. This can be abstract or organized into a theme like travel, nature, or fashion.
