“A DESCRIPTIVE STUDY OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN INDIA AND SPECIAL
PREFERENCE TO UDUPI”
What is waste? Waste is anything discarded,
rejected surpluses, abandoned, or otherwise released into the environment in a manner (or quantity) that could have an impact on that environment.
How waste is generated? Man-made systems emphasize the
economic value of materials and energy, and where production and consumption are the dominant economic activities.
What are the different types of waste?Municipal solid waste Industrial waste Biomedical waste or hospital waste
What is Waste management? Waste management is the precise
name for the collection, transportation, disposal or recycling and monitoring of waste.
How waste management works?
Regulatory Framework: Municipal Solid Waste (Management and
Handling) Rules 2000 under the Environment Protection Act 1986
Bio-medical Waste Handling Rules, 1998 Recycled Plastics Manufacture and Usage
Rules Ministry of Environment and Forests (MOEF),
GOI, September 1999. National Plastic waste Management Task
Force. etc.
Waste management in India Some recent survey on environment
provides the solid waste generation in major Indian Cities. Per day solid waste generation in Delhi is about 6,000 tonnes, Mumbai 5,500 tonnes, Kolkata 3,500 tonnes, Madras 2,500 tonnes, Ahmadabad 2,100 tonnes, Bangalore 2,000 tonnes, Jaipur 1,600 tonnes, Lucknow 1,500 tonnes, Surat 1,500 tonnes, Hyderabad 1,300 tonnes., etc.,
Plastic waste management
15,722 tons of plastic waste is generated per day.
60% of total plastic waste generated is recycled and 40% is littered and remains uncollected.
Packaging Waste Management1. Food packaging material 2. Non-food packaging material Packaging, as a strategic business
tool.
Construction and Demolition (C&D) Waste Management:
• India generates about10-12 million tons of waste annually.
• 50% of the C&D waste is not currently recycled in India
Bio-medical Waste Management
288.20 tons per day (56.87%) out of 506.74 tons per day wastes generating.
E-waste Management• One of the fastest growing waste streams
in the world.• Huge volume of waste being dumped and
processed within the country.
Hazardous Waste Management There are about 36,000 hazardous waste
generating industries in India. There are 141 hazardous waste dumpsites
that have been primarily identified in 14 States.
Waste management in Udupi Integrated solid waste management system Door-to-door collection Rs. 30 per house per month is charged by
the SHGs, the fee charged for hotels and other business establishments varies from Rs. 300 to Rs. 1,000 or more per month depending on the volume of waste generated.
land filling
Achievements of UDUPI CMC: Street sweeping achieved 100% Secondary Transportation achieved 100% Secondary storage of solid waste achieved
100%
Banners/hoardings on plastic ban
PRESENT PROBLEMS IN UDUPI
Lack of awareness Unplanned and scattered
DRAWBACKS IN PRESENT SWM SERVICES
No Storage of Waste at Source No System of Primary Collection from
the Doorstep Irregular Street Sweeping Transportation of Waste Processing of Waste Disposal of Waste
Donate Clothes Reduce Food Waste Buy Things with Less Packaging Recycle Buy rechargeable batteries Reuse
Conclusion Two decades of economic growth since 1990
has changed the composition of Indian wastes. The quantity of MSW generated in India is increasing rapidly due to increasing population and change in lifestyles. Land is scarce and public health and environmental resources are precious. The current SWM crisis in India should be approached holistically; while planning for long term solutions, focus on the solving the present problems should be maintained.
