Dear Friend The book is an attempt to highlight the present status of solid waste management in the country - generation, legislation, finance, technology, and what should be the way ahead.
It is clear that cities are producing more and more waste and the yearly municipal solid waste generation in our country is 52 million tonnes, as per the current CPCB report. Moreover, changing lifestyles are also being reflected in the composition of waste. Metros and big cities are consuming more plastic and recyclable waste as compared to smaller cities. In such a scenario, we need to re-invent waste management in our country.
