Recycling:Reduce , Reuse and Recycle

Solomon Fessehaye Woldeyohannes is a lead researcher and part-time instructor in several universities across the country. Much of his research on topics ranging from industrial water conservation to waste utilization were published and presented at several conferences. Reduction of water used for leather processing by replacing the same with eco-friendly recoverable solvents was one of his works which enabled processing water reduction of more than 70%. As leather processing industries utilize ample municipal water for processing of leather, this project provided a tangible insight on the applicability aspects. Moreover, solid waste generated was insignificant and can easily be treated. Apart from this, he has and is working on several research works with regards to cleaner production and waste utilization.
