Waste Management in India

In India daily municipal solid waste generation is nearly 160,000 Metric Tons (MT)Waste quantity generated by the year 2047 is estimated to be about 260 million tons per yearEstimation shows that if the waste is not disposed off in a more systematic manner, more than 1,400 sq km of land, which is equivalent to the size of metropolitan city would be required in the country by the year 2047 for its disposal Indian industrial sector generates an estimated 100 million tons/ year of non-hazardous solid waste, with coal ash from thermal power stations accounting for more than 70 million tons/ yearNearly 8 million tons/ year of hazardous waste is generated in India. Approximately 60% of these wastes, i.e. 4.7 million tons/ year is estimated to be recyclable and the remaining 3.2 million tons/ year is non-recyclable

Waste Management in IndiaSolid waste management has three basic components, namely, collection, transportation and disposal. The objective of SWM is to reduce the quantity of solid waste disposed off on land by recovery of materials and energy from solid waste in a cost effective and environment friendly manner.Absence of proper financial resource, weak institutional arrangements, improper choice of technology and public apathy towards waste had made the prevalent system of waste management far from satisfactory.Practice of uncontrolled dumping of waste on the outskirts of towns and cities have created serious environmental and public health problems that threaten water quality.Unsatisfactory state of affairs is mirrored even in the industrial (hazardous) sector, where the challenges are steeper in terms of treatment and disposal of hazardous waste. Waste is predominantly disposed off in landfills, and partly by incineration. Reduce, reuse and recycle is seldom used in practice.

Key Issues

Waste Management in IndiaMarket PotentialEstimated municipal and hazardous waste market in India is over INR 248.6 Million There is an increasing presence of the private sector in the SWM particularly for door-to-door collection of solid waste, street sweeping in a limited way, secondary storage and transportation and for treatment and disposal of waste.Ahmedabad, Surat, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Jaipur are pioneered cities in public private partnership (PPPs) in SWM.Government of India has funded various initiatives to address SWM by providing assistance to the tune of INR 250 Million under 12th Finance Commission.

Waste Management in IndiaKey DriversProgressively stricter norms for the sector (especially for industrial and hazardous wastes).Public interest litigations and the rulings of the courts (Supreme Court) for domestic wastes.Scarcer landfill space is forcing the authorities to use appropriate technologies and better management.Grant components for SWM in Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) and Urban Infrastructure Development Scheme for Small and Medium Towns (UIDSSMT)

Waste Management in IndiaPolicy and Regulatory FrameworkThe Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) and the pollution control boards: Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and State Pollution Control Boards together form the regulatory and administrative core of the sector

Waste Management in IndiaLegislationUnder the Environmental Protection Act (EPA) 1986, Ministry of Environment and Forest has issued several notifications to tackle the problem of hazardous waste management. These include:Municipal Wastes (Management and Handling) Rules, 2000, whose aim was to enable municipalities to dispose municipal solid waste in a scientific manner.Hazardous Wastes (Management and Handling) Rules, 1989, which brought out a guide for manufacture, storage and import of hazardous chemicals and for management of hazardous wastes.Biomedical Waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 1998, were formulated along parallel lines, for proper disposal, segregation, transport etc. of infectious wastes.Hazardous Wastes (Management and Handling) Amendment Rules, 2000,
