Students Develop Innovative Plastic Tile”Plastic Waste Transformed into Tiles“

The article reports that our s8 students f have successfully created a tile using plastic waste, showcasing a novel approach to plastic recycling. As part of their project, they collected plastic waste and processed it into durable construction tiles. The students worked under the guidance of their faculty as part of a sustainability initiative.The project received attention for its environmental relevance and practical application in combating plastic pollution. These plastic tiles could serve as an eco-friendly alternative to conventional construction materials. The college administration and other faculty members appreciated the effort, and the success was seen as a significant contribution to green innovation and circular economy goals.

A final year student project, titled “Design of Filter-bed for the Treatment of Grey water from Rice Industry”, has received financial assistance of ₹27000 under the CERD scheme of APJAKTU.
