Introduction
When the industrial revolution arrived in the 18th century, it
transformed rural areas into industrialised and urban ones. But
with this it brought a huge problem and a threat for our
environment – Industrial Waste. The waste produced by the
industrial activities is called industrial waste. Industries, mills,
mining operations, power plants etc. produce a huge amount of
waste. It produces three kinds of wastes - solid, liquid and gas
such as chemicals, ashes, industrial effluent, carbon dioxide,
sulphur dioxide etc. Which should be decomposed or managed
efficiently to keep ourselves and our environment safe. Industrial
waste is the waste produced by industrial activity which includes
any material that is rendered useless during a manufacturing
process such as that of factories, mills, and mining operations.
Types of industrial waste include dirt and gravel, masonry and
concrete, scrap metal, oil, solvents, chemicals, scrap lumber, even
vegetable matter from restaurants. Industrial waste may be solid,
semi-solid or liquid in form. It may be hazardous waste (some
types of which are toxic) or non-hazardous waste. Industrial waste
may pollute the nearby soil or adjacent water bodies, and can
contaminate groundwater, lakes, streams, rivers or coastal waters.
Industrial waste is often mixed into municipal waste, making
accurate assessments difficult. An estimate for the US goes as
high as 7.6 billion tons of industrial waste produced annually, as
of 2017.Most countries have enacted legislation to deal with the
7
problem of industrial waste, but strictness and compliance
regimes vary. Enforcement is always an issue.
8
These are dumped in seas, rivers or land without adequate
treatment. Thus, it has become a large source of environmental
pollution.
10
Non hazardous industrial wastes being diversified in their
chemical nature, physical texture and moisture content and
calorific values etc demand distinct treatment options.
2. United States :
13
Developed the Adaptive Management plan.
The EPA has issued national regulations regarding the handling,
treatment and disposal of wastes. EPA has authorized individual
state environmental agencies to implement and enforce the RCRA
regulations through approved waste management programs. State
compliance is monitored by EPA inspections. In the case that
waste management guideline standards are not met, action against
the site[which?] will be taken. Compliance errors may be
corrected by enforced clean-up directly by the site responsible for
the waste or by a third party hired by that site. Prior to the
enactment of the Clean Water Act (1972) and RCRA, open
dumping or releasing wastewater into nearby bodies of water
were common waste disposal methods. The negative effects on
human health and environmental health led to the need for such
regulations. The RCRA framework provides specified
subsections defining non-hazardous and hazardous waste
materials and how each should be properly managed and disposed
of. Guidelines for the disposal of non-hazardous solid waste
includes the banning of open dumping. Hazardous waste is
monitored in a “cradle to grave” fashion; each step in the process
of waste generation, transport and disposal is tracked. The EPA
now[when?] manages 2.96 million tons of solid, hazardous and
industrial waste. Since establishment, the RCRA program has
undergone reforms as inefficiencies arise and as waste
management processes evolve.
14
The 1972 Clean Water Act is a broad legislative mandate to
protect surface waters (rivers, lakes and coastal water bodies).[30]
A 1948 law had authorized research and development of
voluntary water standards, and had provided limited financing for
state and local government efforts. The 1972 law prohibited, for
the first time, uncontrolled discharges of industrial waste, as well
as municipal sewage, into waters of the United States. EPA was
required to develop national standards for industrial facilities and
standards for municipal sewage treatment plants. States were
required to develop water quality standards for individual water
bodies. Enforcement is mainly delegated to state agencies. Major
amendments to the law were passed in 1977 and 1987.

• How Can Companies Reduce Their Need for
Industrial Waste Management?

• Effects of Industrial Waste :
• Industrial waste is very harmful for us and our environment.
Few impacts are stated below –
• Liquid industrial waste which is thrown into the sea is at an
alarmingly dangerous level for marine ecosystems.
• Industries release many harmful gases such as carbon
dioxide, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides etc. which cause
air pollution.
• In industrial wastewater nitrates and phosphates are there
which often cause eutrophication.
• Generally, air around industries is highly polluted and causes
skin, eyes, throat, nose and lungs diseases.
• Industries use large quantities of water and also release a
huge quantity of wastewater which contain many harmful
chemicals and heavy metals. This wastewater pollutes
natural sources of water and ultimately our health and
environment.
• It is one of the main causes of global warming.
• Industrial wastewater destroys useful bacteria and other
microorganisms present in soil.
• Some industries cause sound pollution as well.
• Industrial wastes and industries are destroying the natural
habitat of many species and are responsible for wildlife
extinction.
Proper disposal and treatment is the only solution of prevention
from effects of industrial wastes.

• Methods of Industrial Wastes Managements :
1.Segregation and Recycling :
Much of the waste that is generated by your company’s
production, shipping, and packaging needs is not reusable or
compostable, but it is recyclable. The first step in your industrial
waste management program is to identify which items can be
recycled, and set up recycling bins or dumpsters into which they
can be sorted. Most recycling centres can handle glass, paper, and
plastic recycling. Many can also handle scrap metal recycling,
cardboard recycling, food waste recycling, and electronics
recycling. You must segregate and separate your recycling from
your hazardous waste, compostable waste, and non-hazardous
solid waste.
2.Use of Landfills :
Landfills are one of the most common ways to dispose of waste
in America. The only waste that should be sent to landfills is that
which is non-hazardous, non-recyclable, and non-compostable.
When waste is sent to a landfill, it is confined to a small area,
compacted when necessary, and then buried in the earth. As the
waste decomposes, it releases gases that can be converted to
natural gases used for power and fuel. Landfills are cost-efficient
and are designed to minimize the harm done to the environment.
18
3.Composting :
The composting process turns organic waste into fertilizer that
can be used to nourish plants. Most food waste can be composted,
and even unsafe organic items can be turned into safe composting.
You can compost food waste, leaves, newspaper, very small
pieces of cardboard, straw, and sawdust. Compost is then added
to soil to provide nutrients and encourage growth. Composting is
one of the most effective ways to reuse and recycle waste.

Conclusion
It was a wonderful learning experience for me while working on
This project. This project developed my thinking skills related to
The topic. The project gives me real insight related to the topic
“Study Of Industrial Waste Management ”. This is a great owner
for me that Our teacher helps us in all respect to finish such a
Micro-Project i.e., “Study Of Industrial Waste Management ”. A
special Thanks to my dear Principal Sir and Teacher setting such
a target for us. I enjoyed Every beat of work, I put into this project,
I do hope that my Project will be interesting may be even
knowledgeable.
