Bhaktapur Paper And Plastic Recycling Centre Silakhe, Bhaktapur

Abstract

Waste are the byproducts of day-to-day human activities. The things that we discard after use turns into waste. The accumulated municipal solid waste from each and every household when disposed off directly in the environment not only deteriorates environment but also the quality of life of people living nearby which can be seen in Sisdol as example. Bhaktapur municipality has made provision of collecting organic wastes from the households and turns them into compost manure. However, provision has not been made in case of inorganic wastes. Such wastes are used for the construction of river corridors around Hanumnte river bank or are sent to Sisdol landfill sites for disposal. The project Bhaktapur paper and plastic recycling center aims in proper management of municipal solid waste (MSW) of the Bhaktapur municipality without harming the environment. The project aims to properly manage the dry solid waste such as papers, plastics, metals, others, etc. collected by the Bhaktapur municipality by segregating them efficiently. The objective of the project is not only segregating the waste but also turning segregated plastic and paper waste into new products by recycling them. Paper waste can be turned into new craft paper while plastic waste can be turned into outdoor furniture which are aesthetically pleasing by using the machinery equipment. Hence, the main objective of the project is to create sustainable environment that prevents environmental deterioration and enhance healthy living environment for all. Also enhancing the standard of workers working on waste and engagement of public in the waste management sector.
