HİNDİSTAN’DA ATIK YÖNETİMİ İÇİN KAPSAMLI BİR PROJE: WASTE TO ENERGY (WTE) CAMPUS

A COMPREHENSIVE PROJECT FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT IN INDIA: WASTE TO ENERGY (WTE) CAMPUS

The WTE (Waste to Energy) Campus located in Jamnagar, Gujarat, has been designed by INI Design Studio to find solutions to India's waste management problems. The campus aims not only to provide solutions to the waste issue but also to convert waste energy into a clean energy source, thereby reducing environmental impacts and promoting sustainability.

Waste management is a global issue with local effects. One of the priority topics of the UN, waste prevention, reduction, recycling, and reuse emerges as a significant concern. India produces 62 million tons of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) annually. However, only 69% of this waste is collected, and 28% is treated, leading to an increase in open dumping sites.

The 7,825 square meter WTE project campus in Gujarat converts 220,000 tons of household waste into 7.5 MW of clean energy annually, generating enough energy to meet the needs of 15,000 homes. In doing so, it produces zero toxic emissions and transforms 17 acres of barren land into a green area equipped with social infrastructures such as running tracks, playgrounds, research facilities, and common areas. Only 20% of the land has been utilized. The remaining areas are reserved for community activities and future expansions. The design of the project minimizes human interaction, taking into account the type and amount of waste generated.

The architectural features of the WTE Campus project offer an innovative approach to waste management by combining functionality and environmental impact. Simple, open-space, and lightweight prefabricated steel structures help optimize the waste processing process. The buildings' permeable, recyclable multilayer polycarbonate facade systems enhance thermal performance, reducing energy consumption and minimizing environmental impact. Additionally, features such as water conservation and landscape design in the project ensure the enhancement of environmental sustainability and the quality of life for users.

The project has been awarded by the Indian Green Building Council as "India’s first platinum-rated net-zero Green Waste-to-Energy Campus" and has received the “2023 Green Good Design” award from the Chicago Athenaeum.
