Here comes the role of the Three “R” concept which has been widely adopted across the globe. The Three “R” concept talks about Reducing the waste, Reusing the waste, and Recycling the waste and products to the extent possible. Today, a developing country like India generates a huge amount of solid waste, sewage, electronic waste, and gaseous pollutants. When we adopt this Three “R” Concept, the ill effects of the pollution caused by these agents can be effectively mitigated. Indeed, the various pollution control bodies of the governments are vigorously propagating the Three “R“ concept among the highly polluting industries to bring down the carbon emission to the sustainable level. Indeed, this is one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG).

KARE adopts the Three “R” Concepts in managing the solid, liquid, biochemical, and e-waste resulting in the development of a sustainable and eco-friendly environment on the campus. This poster details the recycling of solid, liquid, biochemical, and e-waste on Kalasalingam University campus. The solid wastes generated are converted into wealth and reused in the form of Vermicompost which is eco-friendly, the liquid waste is reused after treatment, paper and e-waste are recycled or reused through vendors.
