- Rising incomes, rapidly growing but unplanned urbanisation, and changing lifestyles have resulted in increased volumes and changing composition (increasing use of paper, plastic and other inorganic materials) of municipal solid waste in India.
- Waste generation rate in Indian cities ranges between 200 - 870 g/d, depending upon the region’s lifestyle and the size of the city.
- The volume of waste is projected to increase from 64-72 million tonnes at present to 125 million tonnes by 2031.Â
- Municipal solid waste (MSW) consists of a mixture of waste from all kinds of places. It includes general household waste, office waste, waste from retail stores or other businesses, other miscellaneous, and non-hazardous waste.Â
- Scientific handling and disposal of this waste is a huge challenge.
- Untreated waste (a mixture of biodegradable or wet waste and non-biodegradable waste) from cities lies for months and years at dumpsites creating environmental hazards and health concerns.
- Waste to energy is a sensible way of utilizing waste and providing a sustainable energy source
- Defiant Renewables provides competitive and technically reliable solutions to the problem.Â
