Main Body
India faces a scarcity problem with non-segregated water management. Index showing disposal of India produces more than 1 Malayan tonne of waste annually with solid waste leading to environmental issues in Desiring trend. Solid waste crisis: Gravityurbanization and garbage production. Plastic profiteering leads to processing and recycling mostly informal.
Key principles of waste circularity: Recycled, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Remanufacture, Replace. Reduce - waste from source (eg Big plastic). Reuse - waste from garbage (eg Waste to waste energy production). Replace - waste producing object (eg Better fields/technology for removing stathle). Repair - Right to repair (Polluters pay principle). Recycle - Plastic/Semi-important mineral waste (eg Plastic waste). Government Initiatives: Saved waste management rules. Circular economy roadmap by NITI Aayog. STP plants established by states.
BIO formulation plans of waste by PYSA incorporated. IPP Initiatives - INOGARC model: Circular economy producing of Biofuels and Biogas from waste energy in e-buses. Effectiveness: Limited failures and Success - Sites only 40% waste processed. Legal waste untreated. Dismantaged use obsolete technology. Need to leverage green waste programme, Swatch Bharat mission and PPP agreements to Turn Waste to Water.
