Mamta B. Rajgor, Jayeshkumar Pitroda

Abstract :

Population scenario comes towards India by means of increasing industries. The fruitful efforts of industries lead to develop India. As the industries increases also the waste coming from them at the end of product. At the end of survey result coming that the amount of the approximately 250 to 300 million tonnes of industrial wastes are being produced every year by chemical and agricultural process in India. It is very essential to dispose these wastes safely without affecting health of human being, environment, fertile land, sources of water bodies, etc. These wastes have number of impurities which adversely affect the strength, durability, and other properties of building materials based on them. Paper producing industries produce a large amount of solid waste. For achieving high quality paper, the fibers which are used a limited number of times till they reach their weak stage. Many companies burn their sludge in incinerators which leads towards air pollution. So the paper presents the management of the wastes coming from paper industries.
