Abstract

In this manuscript, a complete case study about the socio-economic benefits of recycling used answer books of students at an educational Institute in India was done. Many developed and undeveloped countries are working in the field of recycling waste papers. A lot of number of used papers are generated by the students of an educational institute in the form of answer books, assignment work, practical files, etc. In this manuscript, the calculation has been made concerning the year-wise number of students at the institute. Calculations have been made for three years (2021-23). It is also calculated that if various types of handmade products are made and sold in the market, the economic benefits become 100 times for file cover production, 300 times higher for notepads, 250 times higher for soft boards, and 200 times higher for bags than the direct sale of scrap papers of the used answer books of students. It will also help to save the environment by saving trees, using less water, less use of fuel, and air, water pollution, and land pollution. The recycling of waste papers and the production of handmade papers will produce employment in the institute.
