Types of Waste
Basic classification of waste

Where Does Garbage Go

Waste Generation

  • Waste generation is the amount of waste produced by a house, a community or even the country.
  • Developed nations tend to produce more garbage than developing nations as they have higher rate of consumption.

    FACT
    Bangalore produces approximately 2480 tonnes of garbage a day, according to a 2001 study.

    Waste Segregation
  • Waste segregation means dividing waste into dry and wet.
  • Dry waste includes wood and related products, metals and glass.
  • Wet waste, typically refers to organic waste usually generated by eating establishments and are heavy in weight due to dampness.

Landfill
A landfill is a low lying area for the disposal of waste materials by burial.

Recycling

  • Recycling is the process of reusing of waste materials that are discarded.
  • Recycling reduces the wastage of products and pollution.

Paper

  • Paper is derived from trees.
  • Paper can be recycled and can be used as an alternative to plastics.
  • Recycling and reusing the paper saves the environment.


Plastics: Boon or Curse?

Biodegradable Waste

Biodegradable waste includes any organic matter in waste that can be broken down into
  • carbon dioxide,
  • water,
  • methane or
  • simple organic molecules
by micro-organisms like fungi and other living things using
  • composting,
  • aerobic digestion,
  • anaerobic digestion or similar processes.

Non-Biodegradable Waste

  • It is a type of waste that can not be broken down into its base compounds by micro-organisms, air, moisture or soil in a reasonable amount of time.
  • Non-biodegradable waste is an environmental concern, as it threatens to overwhelm landfills and create disposal problems.

Plastics

  • Plastic is a material consisting of a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic compounds that are malleable and can be moulded into solid objects.
  • Plastic can be recycled, reused, coloured, melted, rolled into sheets or made into wires.
  • That is why it finds such a variety of uses.
  • Plastic is non-biodegradable and poses major health hazards for animals including humans.
Plastic, hazardous boon?

    Composting and Vermicomposting

    Compost

    • Compost is an organic matter that has been decomposed an d recycled as a fertilizer and soil nutrient.

    Vermicomposting

    • Vermicompost (or vermi-compost) is the product of the composting process using various species of worms.
    • Red wigglers, White worms and other earthworms are used to create a mixture of decomposing vegetables or food waste, garden waste, farm waste etc
    • The product, vermicompost, is an excellent manure for gardens, nurseries, farms etc.

Plants Plants are the immovable living organisms all around us. They are the primary food providers. They are mostly green in colour and use sun as the source of energy to make food. Herbs, shrubs and trees Herbs are the smallest plants and do not have woody stem. Shrubs are slightly larger than herbs. Trees are the largest plants and can have large and thick woody stem.

    Decoding India’s First-of-its-Kind DNA Vaccine

      Decoding India’s First-of-its-Kind DNA Vaccine Since the outbreak of COVID-19, we have witnessed two waves of this pandemic that have caused havoc. While our brave frontline workers continue to endlessly help people infected with the virus, our scientists and medical professionals are looking for the best possible ways to prevent this virus from causing further harm. These experts studied different vaccines and tried and tested them in labs before moving forward with clinical trials in humans. Initially, it seemed like a distant dream, but now they are not only being able to produce mass vaccines in a brief period but also developing different types and versions. And one such latest variant is the   ZyCoV-D , the world’s first DNA vaccine produced by India. Structure of SARS CoV- 2 or Covid- 19 Viruses come in different shapes and size essentially they are packages of DNA or RNA inside a protein cell. Talking about the SARS CoV-2, the outermost layer is the viral envelope...
