Designing of Shredder Machine for Recycling Post Consumer Denim Waste for Making Composite Denim Boards
Abstract: India has a population of about 1.35 billion in 2020 and as fabrics account for 4% of India's GDP, customers spend roughly 68 billion dollars on apparel and footwear each year. Currently, the short lifecycles of apparel products due to rapid fashion cycles and increased buying power of Indian consumers in urban as well as in rural areas are resulting in significant amounts of postconsumer textile waste in the form …

Recycling of Plastic Waste Using Mini Shredder
Abstract: In the current situation, plastic use is expanding daily, leading to a significant environmental problem. Plastics can negatively affect soil organisms in a variety of ways through complex interactions. For example, it has been found that microplastics seep into the soil and change its physical makeup, which lowers the soil's ability to hold water. Particularly in India, people generate 26,000 tons of plastic waste every day which is equivalent to …

Development of 3D Printing Filaments from Industrial Waste Plastics
Abstract: The global plastic waste crisis has prompted innovative approaches to sustainable material reuse, particularly in additive manufacturing. Simultaneously, the accumulation of plastic waste presents significant environmental concerns. Recycling plastic into filament supports eco-friendly innovation and brings us closer to a circular economy where materials are reused instead of thrown away. This study investigates the development of 3D printing filaments from industrial waste plastics, including polypropylene (PP), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), …

Diaper Dissolving Machine
Abstract: In landfills, there are approximately 3.5 million tonnes of disposable diapers, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Currently, used diapers are disposed of through burning, burying in the ground, or improper disposal on the ground, including illegal dumping by caregivers. These careless disposal practices pose the risk of spreading infectious diseases and contribute to environmental degradation. To address this significant problem, we propose a suitable nappy waste management system. …
