An expert session was arranged on “Zero Waste Strategies in Chemical Engineering: Challenges and Solutions”, at Chemical Engineering Department, to make students aware about concepts associated with zero waste strategies in chemical engineering. Mainly it aims innovative and sustainable approach aimed at minimizing the environmental impact of industrial processes by designing systems that ensure all materials are reused, recycled or recovered, leaving no waste behind. Students pursuing careers in chemical engineering must prioritize gaining knowledge and skills in zero waste management to ensure sustainable industrial practices.
