Researchers have found that a total of 6,821 footwear manufacturing units that operate in Agra, generate 45 tonnes per day (TPD) of footwear waste, with about 79% (10.84 tonne) presumably disposed of in drains or leaked into the Yamuna River, or collected and disposed of to the Kuberpur dumpsite. All this has a bearing on both the survival of Agra as a much-touted Smart City, as well as India's footwear industry, which should find itself in the doldrums were production to be affected. Subir Ghosh talks to Kuldeep Choudhary, Programme Officer and lead author of the report by Centre for Science and Environment. https://lnkd.in/gWhwy7eW Follow texfash.com on LinkedIn: https://lnkd.in/dWNRX6vM #footwear #footwearwaste #leather #footwearindustry #agra #afmec #manufacturing Centre for Science and Environment, New Delhi Atin Biswas
