End-of-pipe Waste Analysis and Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan

A ten-year integrated solid waste management plan was established for the University of the Philippines Los Baños which complies with the provisions of RA ۹۰۰۳. An end-of-pipe Waste Analysis and Characterization Study (WACS) was performed to identify the classification of wastes in UPLB. Waste generation was found to be ۵۹۳.۶۷ kg/day on the average and is expected to increase by ۲% per year which is ۷۰۹.۴۹ kg/day on the year ۲۰۲۷. The waste composition by weight of the non-biodegradable wastes are as follows: plastic (۵۵.۶۸%); paper (۳۵.۷۷%); glass bottles (۵.۲۲%); metal (۲.۷۷%); and residuals (۰.۵۵%). A large portion of the wastes, which is ۹۹.۴۵% by weight, are recyclables. The loose density of wastes is ۱۳۱.۹۳ kg/ m۳. Feasible collection points were assigned to improve efficiency of the collection of wastes in the university. Building units inside the campus were clustered and was assigned to dispose wastes to a single temporary storage facility per cluster. There are ۱۸۱ units of ۲۴۰-L garbage bin needed for the ۳۹ clusters in UPLB. Two sets of dimensions of a proposed temporary storage facility were provided for the temporary storage facility; ۵ ۲ ۲.۲ m and ۳.۵ ۲ ۲.۲ m. Conceptual design and structural plans of the materials recovery facility were provided. Mass balance was performed, and the theoretical diversion efficiency of the materials recovery facility is ۹۹.۴۴۵%.A ten-year integrated solid waste management plan was established for the University of the Philippines Los Baños which complies with the provisions of RA ۹۰۰۳.
