Efficient waste-management practices are held in high priority for the campus. The waste generated at each source is segregated through the active participation of residents. A Bio-gas Generator of 150 kg feed capacity has been installed for the digestion of biodegradable wastes. Sewage Treatment Plants have been set up to ensure that all waste-water generated in the campus gets suitably treated before discharge and reuse. Special efforts have also been put towards the identification of local flora and fauna, and in ensuring that the campus growth continues to be in harmony with them. Future plans include reuse of treated waste-water, development of plant nursery, better segregation and in-house composting.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.edexlive.com/campus/2019/jul/10/iit-mandi-targets-completing-a-greener-and-more-sustainable-campus-meant-for-2500-students-by-2021-6984.html|title=IIT Mandi targets completing a greener and more sustainable campus meant for 2,500 students by 2021}}</ref>
