Abstract:

India has drawn world’s attention with its high paced urbanization and industrialization. Over the last decade, India has emerged as the fastest growing country with rapid economic growth. Having the 10th largest GDP growth; India continues to strive towards excellence in industrial and service sectors. The growth in the resource intensive Manufacturing sector is enabled and facilitated by an ever-increasing rate of resource consumptions like energy, water, material leading to manifold and impacts the environment. Higher consumption & usage of natural resources leading to ecological imbalances in the surrounding environment through various types of waste generation, air emissions as well as effluent run-off, resulting in improper disposal of solid wastes.

 

Over last decade, Indian Industry is has learnt to adopt smarter, cleaner growth strategies to improve its efficiency and competitiveness and to help build a low carbon economy in the country. The growth of the manufacturing sector is focused to be made environmentally sustainable through adoption green technologies, water and energy efficiency, and optimal utilization of natural resources and restoration of damaged / degraded eco-systems.

 

With the increasing pressure on Indian industry from both the public and regulatory agencies to manage their wastes effectively, this paper highlights various approaches considered by Indian industries for sustainable waste management. The major areas of utilization of both hazardous and non-hazardous industrial wastes utilization of waste as alternative energy sources and also as raw material. These options provide economic and environmental friendly alternative, compared to conventional practice of destining all the waste generated to landfill.

Abstract:

Chicken feathers are the largest bio-waste produced across the world. Available uncontrolled disposal methods are not ecofriendly. Chicken feathers consists of about 91% Keratin protein. Keratin is a cysteine-rich structural proteins with unique characteristics of bioactivity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and natural abundance. Protein component contain a defined three dimensional microstructure that aids in cellular proliferation and cell guided tissue formation. Genistein is a secondary metabolite isoflavones found in soybean. Genistein protects human dermal fibroblasts from oxidative stress-induced collagen biosynthesis inhibition thus acting as a epidermal growth factor. In this research Keratin was extracted, purified and charcterized to used in wound helaing hydrogel containig Genistein. Purified Keratin was tested for confirmational analysis by FTIR, SEM, SDS-PAGE, Amino acid profiling. Extracted Keratin was found to retain all the characterisitic values with reference standard. The formulated product was then tested for efficacy by in-vivo wound healing activity and saftey. The optimized wound healing formulation of Keratin - Genistein gel showed effective results of gel strength, pH, viscosity, spreadibility, drug contents. HPTLC study shows presence of both components in the gel without any interactions. Stability study indicates that the formulation was fairly stable. The results of in-vivo study indicated that feather keratin hydrogel significantly accelerated the wound healing compared to untreated group. Organ toxicity study revels safety of developed combination product.

Abstract:

The Project of SUSTAINABLE WASTE MANAGEMENT CONCEPT TO POLICY & POLICY-IMPLEMENTATION 2011 & BEYOND, :   which won National Award under GOOD GOVERNANCE PRACICES , ( for 2009-10 ) in 2011, conceptualized in 2001* was a need felt innovation in a Himalayan state having fragile ecology & environment with globally the 8.3 billion tones of plastic produced, 6.3 billion tones have been discarded. Every year, nearly 13 million tones of plastic waste are added to oceans globally . , initially with three pronged strategy {3Ps becoming most important } of Persuasion , Participation (People , Political & Permanent Executive ), Penal action paid rich dividends aiming at (4Rs) and SDG goals,2016 “Less Plastic world” UNEP,2018, It got Propagation , Replication, National - Global recognition with Metropolis ,Bigger ULBs seeking support for replication , ultimately forcing STATE , through Ministry of Road Transport , Highways ,Shipping GOI ,making mandatory use of PLASTIC WASTE in all Road Constructions[ 9th November 2015 ] , conceding to the untiring efforts of * Principal Author  in public interest .The Plastic waste Based roads having scientifically proven record are not only 30% more durable compared to conventional Bituminous roads but do save 34K -40K per Km, consuming 1tone plastic waste . The coating of plastics over aggregate improves Impact, Los Angels Abrasion and Crushing Value with the increase in the percentage of plastics. • The extracted bitumen showed almost near value for Marshall stability. The entire road reported good skid resistance and texture values. The unevenness index values of 3000 mm/km, have not developed any potholes, rutting, raveling or edge flaw, even though these roads are more than four years of age.

The application Plastic Waste to Poly fuel/GASOLYSIS is yet another multi utility, cost effective ,eco-friendly milestone achieved, in rendering economically viable ; scientifically proven; socially acceptable; solution to weed out the menace of Plastic waste , The installations of PET bottle crushers, water ATMs , making Swatch Bharat Abhiyan A dream Come true.
