In India non-hazardous industrial waste is generated at a staggering rate of about 30 million metric tonnes/year; considering the major generators (excluding power plant and mining industry waste) as per Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Government of India (GoI), thus disposing of them is a challenge. The industrial waste generated from fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) trade rejects and expired product is also enormous (although largely remains unaccounted) and needs to be disposed of by the producer as per the guidelines of the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change, GoI. Co-processing of this industrial trade rejects in cement plant can be a prominent solution as it reduces the disposal problem of the solid waste stream and provides an alternative methodology for complete thermal and material recovery of the waste with no by-products. Co-processing further reduces the use of conventional resources by utilizing the waste as an alternative fuel and raw materials. The study thus analyzes a co-processing trial of a month in a cement plant in the southern part of India and based on the obtained data, the environmental and operational sustainability was studied. The economic benefit obtainable was also analyzed based on the achieved substitution benefit. Parameters such as emission and quality of the final product were gauged. The leaching behavior of the final product was also analyzed. Thus, the findings will help in reducing the carbon footprints of the industrial wastes, specifically the FMCG trade waste, and will show the sustainability of co-processing waste in Indian cement plants.

在印度，无害工业废物的产生速度惊人，约为每年3000万吨。考虑到印度政府住房和城市事务部（GoI）的主要发电机（不包括发电厂和采矿业的废物），因此如何处置它们是一个挑战。快速消费品（FMCG）贸易废品和过期产品产生的工业废料也很大（尽管大部分仍未查明），生产商必须按照环境，森林与气候变化部的准则进行处置。 ，GoI。在水泥厂中对这种工业贸易废品进行共处理可能是一个突出的解决方案，因为它减少了固体废物流的处置问题，并提供了另一种方法，可以对废物进行完全的热和材料回收，而没有副产品。协同处理通过将废物用作替代燃料和原材料，进一步减少了传统资源的使用。因此，该研究分析了印度南部水泥厂一个月的协同处理试验，并根据获得的数据对环境和运营的可持续性进行了研究。还基于获得的替代利益对可获得的经济利益进行了分析。测量诸如最终产品的排放和质量的参数。还分析了最终产品的浸出行为。从而，
