To address the emerging waste management issues, the Government of India has launched the Swachh Bharat Mission in 2014 and updated the Solid Waste Management Rules in 2016. In the wake of these efforts, urban local bodies (ULB), in partnership with non-government organisations, private sector waste processors or self-help groups started setting up material recovery facilities (MRF).<\/p>\n<p>In a study conducted in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh under the Indo-German development cooperation project called \u2018Cities combating plastic entering the marine environment\u2019, researchers found that 12 per cent of plastics, eight per cent of paper and cardboard, five per cent of textiles, one per cent each of rubber and tyre and one per cent of glass arrive at transfer stations.<\/p>\n<p>This MSW could be processed in the MRFs if the waste was well segregated at the source itself. The study released in 2022 also indicated that organics, which make up about 43-45 per cent of MSW, can easily be turned into a valuable resource that can be further used in the production of biogas or compost. Improper waste management is often linked to global environmental issues such as marine litter, pollution from release of toxic gases, ultimately affecting climate change. According to academic reports, 80 per cent of plastics enter the oceans from land.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.downtoearth.org.in\/blog\/waste\/digitalising-waste-management-can-make-indian-cities-towns-cleaner-more-sustainable-91534\">Down To Earth<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-396\/\">Digitalising waste management can make Indian cities &#038; towns cleaner, more sustainable<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[11351,575,1111,6701],"class_list":["post-116649","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-digitalization","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-india","tag-waste-management"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116649","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116649"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116649\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116649"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116649"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116649"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
