17. 5. Wastes generates from various sectors · Waste from roulette area · Waste from Secondary Manufacturing Department · Waste from Canteen · Waste from garden · Waste from office buildings . Waste from slide making area . Waste from ambulance room
18. 6. Environmental risks due to various wastes All types of tobacco waste creates air, water and land pollution Dumping of wastes cause bad smell, increasing of pests, insects, help various diseases to break out & also causes site pollution. Dumping of non-biodegradable wastes on land reduce its fertility .
19. 4. Oil & grease, Discarded medicines can pollute ground water level as it present near the ground surface. 5 . Dumping of non-biodegradable waste reduces the fertility of the soil.
20. 7. Health risks due to various waste Tobacco dust from roulette are, manufacturing area, DRF plant etc. can cause allergy, fever & respiratory problems. Continuous exposure to noise can damage the hearing system, and also cause the nerve problem, depression, headache etc.

25. 9. Alternative waste management process. Bio-degradation of Nicotine by a newly isolated Agrobacterium Sp. Strain S 33, Bacillus and lactobacillus Sp. Enzymatic production of Glucose from waste paper. Glucose thereafter can be utilized for production of ethanol and other chemicals by specific microbial cultures. Tobacco wastes can be used as fertilizer for improving yields and nutritional value of tomato & Lettuce ( Lactuca sativa ).
26. 4. Production of Caffeic Acid (CA) from the Caffeoylquinic Acid (CQAs) of tobacco. Caffeic Acid is widely applied in food and pharmaceutical industries. 5. Vermicomposting of Bio-degradable waste produces a better quality fertilizer. 6. Biogas & Bio-diesel production from the biodegradable waste is possible. 7.
