1. IntroductionITC limited is one of India’s foremost private companies with

a market capitalization of approx. INR 70000 crores and annual turn over of over INR 16224 crores. ITC has diversified presence in Cigarettes, Hotels, Paperboards and speciality papers, Packaging, Agribusiness, Branded apparel, Packaged foods and confectionery, Greeting cards, Stationary and other Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) products.

2. Objectives of the study 1. To know the sources of raw materials of cigarette

manufacturing.      2. To know various types raw materials used in

cigarette manufacturing. 3. To know various processes of cigarette

manufacturing. 4. To find various types of wastes generates in this

factory. 5. To know various impacts of these wastes on

Environment and Health. 6. To know the management of these wastes. 7. To evaluate other possible waste management

techniques.

3. Concept of Environment, Health & Safety

Environment can be defined as “the life supporting system that surrounds every living organisms.”

Health can be defined as the “Metabolic efficiency”

Safety can be defined as “ Being far from any adverse event for the health, society, environment”

4. Cigarette manufacturing process& waste generation

a) By Cigarette manufacturing machine (LOGA)

Wastes from LOGA

1. Cut tobacco2. Tobacco dust3. Cigarette paper4. Filter5. PCT (Paper Cork Tip)6. Gum7. Winnowing

b) By Packing machine (FOCKE)

Waste from FOCKE

1. Waste cigarette2. Blank3. Inner frame4. Aluminum foil/ Metalized Paper5. Gum6. Tobacco Dust

c) By Wrapping machine

Waste from wrapping machine

1. Waste cigarette2. Blank3. Inner frame4. Aluminum foil5. BOPP6. TOR7. C ore

d) By Gay wrapping machine

Waste from gay wrapping

1. Wrapping paper(Gay Wrapper)2. Core3. Gum

E) By Final packing

Waste from final packaging

1. Gum Tape waste

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

6. Environmental risks due to various wastes

1. All types of tobacco waste creates air, water and land pollution

2. Dumping of wastes cause bad smell, increasing of pests, insects, help various diseases to break out & also causes site pollution.

3. Dumping of non-biodegradable wastes on land reduce its fertility.

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.

7. Health risks due to various waste

1. Tobacco dust from roulette are, manufacturing area, DRF plant etc. can cause allergy, fever & respiratory problems.

2. Continuous exposure to noise can damage the hearing system, and also cause the nerve problem, depression, headache etc.

3. Vibration of the manufacturing machines can cause various problems. White finger is common among workers who use vibrating drills.

4. Dumping of waste may cause various diseases to peoples.

  8. Waste Management by the factory

WMS waste, Plastic rope, Packaging, paper etc.

9.    Alternative waste management process.

1. Bio-degradation of Nicotine by a newly isolated Agrobacterium Sp. Strain S 33, Bacillus and lactobacillus Sp.

2. Enzymatic production of Glucose from waste paper. Glucose thereafter can be utilized for production of ethanol and other chemicals by specific microbial cultures.

3. Tobacco wastes can be used as fertilizer for improving yields and nutritional value of tomato & Lettuce (Lactuca sativa).

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. Electricity production from the garbage is now possible.
