Waste Management Solutions in India

Let us begin by stating that waste management is one of the key issues for a country like India which is urbanizing at an exponential rate. It is only fair to assume that the urban centers are struggling with waste management as the population increases and the trend nowadays is to consume more than before. At Green Planet Solutions we are proud to state that we are ready for this transformation as we offer waste management solutions that will enable businesses and cities alike to manage their waste in a more environmentally friendly manner and in the process comply with the law too. 

The State of Waste Management in India

One out of six people on earth is an Indian and the country is in the midst of an urban explosion which is simply unprecedented. The effective and legal guidelines to handle waste management in India are set by the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change which are then expected to be implemented by all the provinces to ensure a certain degree of cohesion as well as the potential for sustainable urban development. These are basic principles but they are also aimed at all individuals as well as industries to be able to manage their waste efficiently so that there is minimal damage to the environment. 

Based on the statistics provided by the Ministry, India as of now produces more than 62 million tons of waste on a yearly basis and it is estimated that by 2030 as a result of increasing population density as well as changes in consumer behavior, the amount of waste generated will increase to around 165 million tons. Based on projections made, waste generation rates in urban centers will increase from the 1999 value of 0.2 kg daily to 0.7 kg per individual on a daily basis in the year 2025. This shows that the request for proper waste management solutions and systems will increase.

Key Challenges in Waste Management in India

While the nation is developing, waste management has become a certain problem in India – 

• Population Growth: Most of the nation lives in an urban setting and that results in waste amounts that are overwhelming. Only 43 million tons were able to be treated out of the 62 million tons waste which is thrown out each year. This indicates that most of the waste is dump into river or ocean.
• E-Waste: As technology continues to evolve, the use of electronics has increased and with this e waste has emerged into a global challenge, if these electronics are not disposed of properly than they pose a serious threat to mankind on long term.
• Lack of Requirement: India lags behind when compared to other countries in waste management systems due to lack of proper sanitation staff’s and any adequate infrastructure. A low 21 million only operates in India, unlike China’s 700 million. This shows that a more emphasis needs to be made into more collection points and efficient collection techniques.
• Waste Disposal: In today’s structural society, however, only few are able to recall that 30 percent of indian waste have passed through recycling, this results in materials that can still be recoverable such as aluminium and paper to be thrown into landfills. Mats, Paps and plastic are high chance of being lost and neglected and throw into land fills facilities.

Waste Management Solutions: What’s the Way Forward?

At Green Planet Solutions I think we all can agree that effective waste management is not exclusively the process of cleaning communities but the manner of ensuring that better societies are created. Here is how we as an entity are dealing with the waste management problems in the country:

1. Waste Sorting at the Point of Origin – Source

As far as effective waste management is concerned sorting is the first step. At Green Planet Solutions, we actively endorse the need to practice waste sorting at the point of origin which are residences, commercial sectors, and various industries. There is a need for certified waste management solutions – wherein different categories of waste are kept together so that plastic, paper or metal does not go to the landfill but to a recycling center. We provide people with tailored waste management plans which help them to implement better waste sorting at their units, and hence hopefully lead to increased recycling rates.

Collection and disposing off waste are the biggest problems in India. At Green Planet Solutions, our task is to provide the public with proper waste management and collection On the waste management aspect, we intend to limit the carbon footprint through our collection routes, collection vehicles, and optimization techniques. Ensuring that cleaning gets done at the right time and in an efficient manner.

3. Addressing Recycling and Circular Economy Promotion

We should be revived by the way that India lags so much behind other nations when it comes to recycling. Green Planet Solutions uses engagement with the industries to assist create a circular economy where businesses recycle their products and packaging. Under the broad umbrella of EPR we get into the nitty-gritty of business adopting responsibility of the product right from the branding and establishment of the product to the disposal of the said product. We furthermore guarantee that waste or unwanted materials are not merely disposed but rather are somehow recycled or used in other relevant ways so as to reduce wastage and conserve scarce resources.

4. e-waste management 

With the growth of e-waste, so too has irresponsible e-waste management become a major focus. Our e-waste management solutions ensure the safety and security of electronic e-waste and its proper disposal in accordance with the policies. We also work with certified e-waste recycling plants to recover various materials such as gold, silver and copper as well as plastics with the least amount of waste possible.

We partner with our employees to carry out workshops and campaigns aimed at educating communities and businesses on why waste should be sorted out, recycled and why its generation should be avoided in the first place. We also engage with decision makers on the matter to foster tough waste regulation that makes people change the way they manage waste and how it is disposed.
