𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 Urbanization, as presented above, presents a critical concern in the way such cities dispose of their waste since effective waste management helps control health, the environment, and the economy of a community. A clear visible difference between a clean, sustainable community and one plagued by pollution and disease can easily be observed in the presence or absence of effective waste management. On the other side, unmanaged wastes create massive environmental and health hazards. For example, a city like Mumbai generates 7,000 plus metric tons of waste every day, a major portion of which finds its way to landfills. The consequent waste pits attract pests, contaminate ground water, and also emit greenhouse gases, hence causing climatic disorders. In addition, poorly managed streams of waste tend to choke rivers and oceans where it directly influences marine life and the entire ecosystem. Proper waste disposal cuts down pollution, encourages recycling, and contributes to a cleanliness landscape of Indian urban areas. The cities, where the ranking of the cleanest cities of India under Swachh Bharat Mission includes Indore, show the benefits of properly structured waste management. It has helped increase reuse rates, cut down open dumping and increased public health. India finds itself in a serious waste management crisis, Indian cities supposedly generate 62 million tons annually and collect only 43 million, with less than 12 million processed. The gap leaves a concrete reason for changing policies toward waste, spreading awareness, and making citizens a part of the betterment of areas. Cleaner cities toward a healthy environment. #cleancities #wastemanagement #sustainableliving #urbanhealth #indiaswachhbharat #recyclingmatters #greencities #saveourplanet #ecofriendly #reducewaste

What is Bio-CNG? Bio-CNG, derived from Compressed Biogas (CBG), is a methane-based fuel produced from fermented organic waste, making it a CO2-neutral and environmentally friendly alternative. In India, Bio-CNG represents a promising future fuel for urban infrastructure. By converting organic waste into energy, Bio-CNG helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and manage waste efficiently. Indian cities are increasingly adopting Bio-CNG to power essential services, including city buses, waste collection vehicles, and road sweeping machines. This transition not only promotes cleaner air and a healthier environment but also supports the country's commitment to sustainable development. By leveraging Bio-CNG, India is paving the way for greener urban operations and a more sustainable future. Indore- India's Cleanest City benefits from Dulevo CNG machine, fueled by the city's Bio-CNG plant. The single engine Bio-CNG machine not only filters PM10 and PM2.5 road dust effectively but also has minimal fuel emissions. This showcases our commitment to sustainable and innovative cleaning solutions. We're honored to contribute to Indore's cleanliness and sustainability efforts! 💪 #DulevoInIndore #DulevoIndia #BioCNG Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change, Government of India Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) Indore Municipal Corporation

"Have you ever wondered why the government asks us to segregate wet and dry garbage (blue and green box)?" You've probably heard about the Gazipur dumping ground, which stands at 65 meters tall, over 50% taller than India Gate. Yes, that's true😳 The Delhi Government aims to resolve this issue by the end of the year, though progress is slow. Delhi is looking to emulate the strategy implemented by Indore city, which involves Biomining (the process of segregating). Recyclable waste is sent to recycling stations, and if it contains polythene, it may be diverted for road construction, etc. Non-recyclable waste can be used for composting.Additionally, the Delhi government is dispatching vehicles to collect waste. To assist the government, we can also segregate our waste into wet and dry categories. #agree #helpgovernment #caexams #caaspirants #caexams

Some successful waste management models in indian cities Successful waste management models in Indian cities include various approaches such as source segregation, zero-landfill models, and effective stakeholder participation. Some notable examples are: Source Segregation: 1. Indore, Madhya Pradesh: Achieved 100% segregation, collection, and processing of waste through stakeholder participation and good governance 2. Alappuzha, Kerala: Implemented a unique initiative where citizens, sanitation workers, and administration collaborated to dispose of sanitary waste properly 3. Panaji, Goa: Scored high in source segregation among 28 cities for sustainable waste management practices Zero-Landfill Models: 1. Ambikapur, Chhattisgarh: Achieved a zero-landfill city status by ensuring maximum waste undergoes scientific treatment and recycling measures 2. Chandrapur, Maharashtra: Attained 85% source segregation and nearly 95% waste processing through awareness campaigns and capacity-building programs These cities have demonstrated successful waste management practices through innovative strategies like source segregation and zero-landfill models, setting benchmarks for sustainable waste management in India. #Greenbrigade #swachhbharatmission #swachhsurvekshan2024 #swachdasuya #swachpunjab #swachhbharat #wastemanagement #recycling #recycle #waste #environment #sustainability #zerowaste #Gogreen #Sustainability #Sustainableliving #Eco #Environment #Climatechange #Recycle #Savetheplanet

Waste burning is a problem across Indian cities contributing to air pollution. India generates 62 million tonnes of municipal solid waste (MSW) and it's estimated to reach 165 million tonnes by 2030! The UN has marked March 30th as the International Day of Zero Waste, to emphasize the need to intensify global waste management efforts. As partner of The Accelerator for Clean Air Action (ACAAS) initiative, WRI India helps build capacity and provide technical support to 10+ Indian cities to plan and implement solutions towards tackling air pollution. As part of ACAAS, WRI has been working with municipalities of Gorakhpur, Indore, Surat, Agra and Vadodara on mapping MSW burning incidents using GPS. Other crucial and related aspects such as land use, socio economic status, reason for burning, individuals involved have also been documented. Our survey shows that waste burning provides a source of warmth and light to watchmen, construction laborers and the poor, especially in the winter. People also gather around these fires to hang out and spend time with each other. We will now repeat these surveys in the summer to get a seasonal analysis and prepare a comprehensive action plan to tackle this problem. We will also expand our scope to conduct such surveys in other ACAAS cities. It's important we come up with innovative approaches and solutions that keep in mind the social, and human aspects of waste burning. #internationaldayofzerowaste #wasteburning #solidwastemanagement #waste #wasteburningsolutions Bhavay Sharma Laxman Singh/लक्ष्मण सिंह Prayash Giria Prakash Doraiswamy Sanjar Ali
