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 year

Estimation 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 nonhazardous solid waste, with coal ash from thermal power stations accounting for
more than 70 million tons/ year

Nearly 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 India

Key Issues

Solid 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.

Market Potential

Estimated 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 doorto-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 12 th Finance Commission.

Key Drivers

Progressively 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.

Policy and Regulatory Framework
The 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 India

Legislation
Under 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,
