2017:- From recycling wastewater to generating its
own electricity, the Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT) is taking strides
to convert its Matunga campus into a green zone. The institute’s 16-acre campus
in the heart of Matunga has 11 academic departments, four specialised centres
and five hostels that house 800 students. In order to reduce its carbon
footprint, the institute is blending traditional and modern methods to treat
waste, some of which have been developed by the ICT itself. For the last five
years, the institute has been accumulating waste from its canteens, hostels and
gardens and converting it into compost. The compost is being used as
fertilisers for more than 800 trees on campus. The dry garden waste, which
doesn’t decompose, is pulverised in a crusher, converted into briquettes and
used as fuel in the hostel mess.
