Hazardous Waste Management Issues and Strategies Annual Generation 6.2 Million Tonnes (Mt)* Landfillable= 2.7 Mt Incinerable= 0.4 Mt Recyclable=3.1Mt Handling Capacity Landfill=1.5Mt # (55%) Incinerator=0.32Mt # (80%) Recycling = 3.1 Mt Gap Deficit of handling 1.2 Million tons # (45%) of landfillable and 0.09 Million tons # (20%) of incinerable wastes.  Updation of Inventory  Promote utilization of hazardous wastes under Rule 11: - Co-processing - Other utilization for resource/energy recovery  Prioritize setting up of TSDF in States such as Assam, Chattisgrah, Jharkhand and Orissa  Co-ordination among SPCBs/PCCs to facilitate interstate transportation  Enforce TSDF operators for Escrow Account  Evaluate performance of disposal facilities  Development of “Waste Exchange Centers”….???

Annual Generation 0.4 Mt (Estimated) Handling Capacity Registered = Mt Gap Mostly going to unauthorised handlers  Inventorization  Greening of supply chain  Mass awareness  Environmentally Sound Material Recovery E-Waste Management Issues and Strategies

Annual Generation 0.123Mt (95273 HCFs) Handling Capacity Treated= 0.089Mt (72.5%) Gap 27.5% of the waste is untreated.  Online registration of Health Care Facilities  Adopt suitable new technologies - Plasma Pyrolysis and Sharpblaster technologies approved by CPCB  Emphasis on non-burn technologies  States requiring CBWTFs on priority - Jharkhand, Goa and North-Eastern States  Mercury waste collection and recovery Bio-Medical Waste Management Issues and Strategies

Municipal Solid Waste Management Issues and Strategies Annual Generation 209 Mt Handling Capacity Collected= 125 Mt(60%) Processed (composting, RDF etc.) = 5% Gap 95% of the waste collected goes to un- organised landfills  Setting up of integrated waste processing facilities – Approach for Total recycling (‘no’ or less waste to be land-filled)

Plastic Waste Management Issues and Strategies Annual Generation 0.56 Mt Handling Capacity Partly collected for re-cycling (formal/ informal way) Data not available Gap Others remain un- collected and disposed with MSW Municipal Authorities to:  Utilize compulsorily for co-processing / road construction  Setting up of Recycling facilities  Prohibit manufacturing of sub-graded plastics product
