“…The results from characterisation of waste showed that the organic component in waste is higher and mainly composed of kitchen, food and vegetable waste ( Table 2). The biodegradable waste in the dump site is around 56% having highest proportion of biodegradable waste in summer season [33]. However it was observed that organic waste for Indian cities is in higher fraction ranges between 20-55% [1, 2, 4].…”

The presents study showed the effect of open dumping on soil characteristics and biodegradation settlement analysis of soil in non-engineered landfill. The contaminated soil is referred to as waste soil which has different settlement rates due to the various categories and complex characteristics of waste. The degradation of waste causing percolation of leachate into soil affecting the strength and stability of soil. This paper includes the analysis of geotechnical properties and settlement analysis of waste soil and its comparison was done with natural soil. The geochemical analysis was carried out by Energy Dispersive X- Ray Spectroscopy (EDX) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The elemental analysis of soil exhibited presence of high oxygen and silica content in uncontaminated soil. The analysis depicted that specific gravity, maximum dry density (MDD), permeability and California bearing ratio (CBR) showed decreasing trend variation for polluted soil. It was observed that cohesion for contaminated soil was found to be increased thereby increasing the shear strength of soil. Additionally, temperature, pH and moisture content hold a significant position for assessing the settlement. The settlement of soil due to biodegradation of MSW is estimated using empirical mathematical model for dump site depending upon pH, moisture content and temperature. Additionally, settlement is evaluated keeping in view the settlement due to biodegradation of MSW on soil, which further helped in determination of the suitability of the site for the construction and other recreational purposes.

“…The integrated waste management (IWM) incorporates the benefits of the other models and it combines sources of waste streams, waste collection process, proposing apt treatment for categorized wastes, disposing of the residues of the process. IWM systems aim to cherish a sustainable environmental system with economic optimization, and social acceptability (9), (10).…”

“…These factors considerably increase the biomass production as well as the organic decomposition cycles. Most of the biomass management systems are consist of the isolated process as aerobic or anaerobic decomposition, landfilling, biogas production, incineration, livestock management and agriculture (7), ( 8), (9). A proactive and integrated sustainable green system is required to reap the benefits of these waste management processes.…”

The sustainable green connected systems are considered as the engine room for fostering the Green- Clean Campuses. The biomass management with organic cycles is crucial factor in tropical sustainable campuses as it tends to produce a huge amount of biomass with multiple organic cycles. This proposed biorefinery model at Chemperi, Kerala which is in tropical region can connect Agri farming, pisciculture, piggery farming, and livestock farming for waste management with a centralized aerobic-anaerobic sewage recycling system. The model has proven benefits of cost optimization, reduced fuel conception, enhancing biodiversity with a sustainable ecosystem, and foster sustainability. The output of these multiple farming provides fresh raw materials for the kitchen with economic and health benefits. This model established at Vimal Jyothi Campus, Chemperi, Kerala found to reduce biomass waste production, biorefinery waste management with energy-saving, inculcating sustainability practices in campus and establishment of Green Clean Campus. The model can be integrated with intelligent monitoring systems and automation.
