WASTE MANAGEMENT  Policy of Raja Peary Mohan College underlines our commitment with regard to sustainable waste management. It outlines a set of agreed aims and deliverables for all aspects of sustainability, including recycling and waste management.

The college adheres to the following principles of the waste management:

•  Prevent – avoid creating waste
•  Reduce – minimising the amount of waste produced
•  Reuse – repair, refurbish or relocate items
•  Recycle – promote segregation of waste to increase the quantity of waste recycled Recovery – send non-recyclable waste to energy recovery
•  Disposal – this will only be used as a last resort if all other options are exhausted

Solid Waste Management:

•  Measures shall be taken for minimal or optimal use of papers: Instead of taking hard copies of documents, keep in digital format as far as possible.
• Strategies to lessen the generation of paper waste are adopted: double-sided printing, printing in reduced font size, printing in “fast draft" mode etc.
• e-billing is promoted to reduce use of paper.
• Use of paperclips (over staples) is encouraged.
• Reusing of envelopes with metal clasps and file folders by sticking a new label over the previous one is promoted.
• Colour coded dustbin system is employed for segregation of solid waste: 
  •  green dustbins for  biodegradable wastes like food; 
  • blue dustbins for disposal of plastic wrappers and non- biodegradable wastes.
• Partial Food waste is used to generate fertilizer using the Bokashi- plant installed in the campus.
• Cleaning or emptying of dustbins is ensured at regular intervals daily.
• Sanitary napkins are disposed in incinerators installed in the campus.

Liquid waste management: (Chemical Waste Management)

•  Implement Lab Pack Service: The lab pack disposal process involves first identifying, categorizing, and segregating each chemical by type (solvent, acid, or base), re-packaging them, then depositing the packaged chemicals into a drum or a tank. (Black bin)
• Academic strategies are taken to reduce the amount of chemical waste generated in the laboratories.
• Promote existing reuse schemes and develop additional recycling schemes to stream more waste at source.
• Communicate effectively with our employees, students, and residences to increase engagement and participation in the recycling initiatives across campuS
