About IIT Bhubaneswar : Online Course on Advancements in Sustainable Waste Management

Rapid urbanization and rising consumption of goods make waste management in India a massive challenge. Urban India produces 62 million metric tonnes of municipal solid waste every year, 70 percent of which is collected and only 25 per cent of this collected waste is
processed. India generates a staggering 1.7 million tonnes of faecal waste a day. About 78 percent of the sewage generated remains untreated and is disposed of in rivers, groundwater or lakes. With both the population of India and its industrial landscape increasing at a phenomenal speed, wastewater volume is also at an alarming rise.

Advancement in solid waste and wastewater treatment technologies offers new economic opportunities for energy and resource recovery. A paradigm shift from “use and throw – linear” to a “use, treat, and reuse – circular” approach is needed to manage solid and liquid waste. It is therefore important to understand the underlying technical and economic factors that will drive, facilitate, and sustain solid waste and wastewater management in India.

This workshop will offer a timely opportunity for knowledge exchange among professionals about advancements in sustainable waste management featuring a highlight on solid and liquid waste management with emphasis on reuse and resource recovery.
