چکیده
Decarbonization of university campuses by integrating scientific waste approaches and circular economy principles is the need-of-the-hour. Universities, maximum energetic corporations places for clinical studies social activities, have a duty to assemble low-carbon play vital function in lowering CO2 emissions. An environmental life cycle assessment was conducted compare proposed municipal solid (MSW) treatment systems with existing system residential campus (RUC) Kharagpur, West Bengal (India). The results show MSW disposal practice RUC (baseline scenario has highest GWP (1388 kg eq), which can potentially be reduced adopting integrated management source segregation as represented futuristic scenarios (S2—50% sorting) (S3—90% sorting)). Compared S1, GHG emission 50.9% S2 86.5% S3. Adopting anaerobic digestion engineered landfill without energy recovery offsets emissions contributes significant benefits terms ecological footprints. Capital goods pivotal role mitigation shift towards S3 requires infrastructure collection sorting will contribute reduction associated costs long-term.
