    Solid Wast Management

    India produces 42 million tons of municipal solid waste annually. Waste is classified into categories like domestic, industrial, electronic, construction, and more. Solid waste management in India is primarily done by municipalities who collect waste without segregation and dump it outside cities. There is a lack of proper planning, institutional setup, funding, community involvement, and awareness that leads to improper waste management. Recommended approaches include waste minimization, recycling, processing, and sanitary landfilling along with techniques that are technically sound, financially viable, environmentally friendly, and sustainable.

    DEFINITION:
    All waste arising from human and animal activity that are normally solid and
    that are discarded as useless or unwanted .

    India produces 42.0 million tons of municipal solid waste annually at present.
    Per capita generation of waste varies from 200 gm to 600 gm per capita / day.
    Average generation rate at 0.4 kg per capita per day in 0.1 million plus towns.
    Collection efficiency ranges between 50% to 90% of the solid waste generated.

    CLASSIFICATION OF WASTES :
    Domestic waste
    Factory waste
    E-waste
    Waste from oil factory
    Construction waste
    Agricultural waste
    Food processing waste
    Bio-medical waste
    Nuclear waste

    Solid waste- vegetable waste, kitchen waste, household waste etc.


    E-waste- discarded electronic devices like computer, TV, music systems etc.
    Liquid waste- water used for different industries eg tanneries, distillaries, thermal
    power plants
    Plastic waste- plastic bags, bottles, buckets etc.
    Metal waste- unused metal sheet, metal scraps etc.
    Nuclear waste- unused materials from nuclear power plants

    WASTE COLLECTION IN INDIA


    Primarily by the city municipality
    -No gradation of waste product
    For example bio-degradable, glasses, poly bags, paper shreds etc.

    -Dumps these wastes to the city outskirts.

    Local Rag pickers


    -Collecting small iron pieces by magnets
    -Collecting glass bottles
    -Collecting paper for recycling

    Hazardous / Toxic Waste & Dumping Site


    Industrialized countries have waste management problems
    Developed countries have strict environment regulation norms
    Most attractive option for them- to dump into developing countries

    MAJOR POLLUTING INDUSTRIES IN INDIA


    Thermal power plants discharge huge waste materials300 distilleries discharge 26
    million kilo-litres of spend wash per year containing several pollutants
    Around 2500 tanneries discharge 24 million cu m of waste water containing high
    level of dissolved solids and 4,00,000 tonnes of hazardous solid waste.

    MANAGING WASTE
    Recycling: Processing of a waste item into usable forms.
    Benefits of recycling:
    -

    Reduce environmental degradation

    Making money out of waste

    Save energy that would have gone into waste handling & product manufacture

    Saving through recycling:


    - When Al is remelted- considerable saving in cost

    Making paper from waste saves 50% energy

    - Every ton of recycled glass saves energy equivalent to 100 liters of oil.

    RECYCLING NOT A SOLUTION TO ALL PROBLEMS


    Recycling is not a solution to managing every kind of waste material
    For many items recycling technologies are unavailable or unsafe
    In some cases, cost of recycling is too high.

    REASONS FOR IMPROPER MANAGEMENT OF


    WASTE:
    Lack of planning for waste management while planning

    townships

    Lack of proper institutional set up for waste management, planning and


    designing in urban local bodies
    Lack of technically trained manpower
    Lack of community involvement
    Lack of expertise and exposure to city waste management using modern
    techniques / best practices
    Lack of awareness creation mechanism
    Lack of Management Information Systems
    Lack of funds with ULBs
    Indifferent attitude of ULBs to levy user charges and sustainability

    RECOMMENDED APPROACHES TO WASTE


    MANAGEMENT:
    1.

    Possible Waste Management Options :

    (a) Waste Minimisation

    (b) Material Recycling

    (c) Waste Processing (Resource Recovery)

    (d) Waste Transformation

    (e) Sanitary Landfilling Limited land availability is a


    constraint in Metro cities.

    2.

    Processing / Treatment should be :

    (i)

    Technically sound

    (ii)

    Financially viable

    (iii)

    Eco-friendly / Environmental friendly

    (iv)

    Easy to operate & maintain by local community

    (v)

    Long term sustainability
