Zero Waste GECT: Sustainable Campus Waste Management

Zero Waste GECT is a student-led initiative to make GEC Thrissur a model for sustainable waste management. The goal is to minimize landfill contributions by reducing, reusing, and recycling waste generated on campus, ultimately achieving a **zero-waste environment**.

Project Overview

This project involves the implementation of an integrated waste segregation, tracking, and awareness system. By combining technology with behavioral change campaigns, the project encourages students and staff to adopt environmentally responsible habits.

• Smart Waste Bins
• Dry/Wet/Plastic segregation at source
• Composting units for biodegradable waste
• Recyclable sorting stations for paper, metal, and e-waste
• Awareness drives and workshops for community engagement

Key Features

• Segregation at source: Color-coded bins and informative signage
• Closed-loop waste handling: Organic waste used for composting, recyclables sent to local centers
• Student and club involvement: Volunteer teams help operate and monitor the system
