Revision history [back]

Dear Joy Poghisio, You have plenty of questions. However, I tried to answer below: Q1. Can I set up the recycling plant so students and patients don't inhale possibly toxic fumes? Yes you can. If you use anaerobic technology no toxic gas even no bad smell will produce during recycling process. Only during sorting or loading and unloading of waste there is a possibility to spread odor but if you use green fencing (plants) it can be controlled.

Q2. Should I situate it further away from rivers etc.? For a waste recycling plant, 100 meter distance is enough if you use and follow appropriate Environmental Management Plan (EMP). Q3. How much water can I expect to use? Generally, for inorganic waste 200 liter of water required per ton of waste. For Organic waste 250 liter of water is required. You can recycle and re use this water also.

Waste management through recycling business is a prominent and can create green jobs for thousands people. For further information, please feel free to ask: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mahobul
