Abstract

United Tractors Company prioritizes sustainable waste management practices. This study investigated their current system, aiming to identify opportunities for improvement in efficiency and environmental impact. The research focused on how effectively United Tractors manages their waste streams, from minimizing generation at the source to responsibly processing and disposing of unavoidable waste.

The analysis revealed a successful integrated waste management system at United Tractors, encompassing practices like composting, recycling, and proper treatment of hazardous materials. This approach demonstrates their commitment to minimizing their environmental footprint. The study went beyond current practices, identifying promising advancements in waste processing technologies like gasification and bioethanol production. These techniques offer exciting possibilities for further reducing waste and potentially even generating valuable resources from waste materials.

The effectiveness of United Tractors' system can be attributed to their comprehensive approach. The study conducted a detailed waste collection study to understand the composition and volume of waste generated across various departments. This data-driven approach allowed for a thorough cost analysis and an evaluation of the operational efficiency within the waste management system. Importantly, the study highlighted the potential benefits of incorporating advanced waste processing techniques for even greater sustainability in the future. While further feasibility studies are needed before full-scale implementation, these findings pave the way for United Tractors to develop and implement even more sustainable waste management practices in the coming years
