PROBLEM STATEMENT - Biomedical Waste
Management
The face of litter in the country is rapidly changing,
as the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19)
extends its stay and spread. COVID-19 accounted
for 33% of the biomedical waste generated in India
in May 2021, when the country saw the highest
number of new cases. This appears to have put
pressure on an already overburdened biomedical
waste treatment system.
Millions of discarded single-use plastics in the
form of surgical masks, face shields, gloves, shoe
covers, and other personal protective equipment, or
PPE, can readily be found dumped by the roadway,
behind hospitals, on beaches, in parking lots, in
landfills.
You need to come up with an idea to tackle the
problem of Biomedical waste management
generated during COVID times.
Your proposed solution should have the following
format
Title of the proposed solution (in 20 words): A
heading that best describes your solution.
Problem Statement (in about 50 words): Identify
the particular aspect of bio medical waste
management your solution is for
The proposed solution of the problem (in 150-200
words): Propose a solution and explain how
your solution is going to solve the problem of bio
medical waste management
Expected impact and conclusion (in about 50
words): Justify why you think your idea will be a
success in terms of the impact that it will create.
Your idea will be judged on the basis of
Feasibility: Whether your idea is practical and can

Answer 1

Answer:

Across India, existing systems for the collection, transportation and disposal of solid waste are mired in chaos. The problem is more acute in the urban areas, where rapidly growing populations generate increasingly larger quantities of solid waste that urban local bodies (ULBs) are unable to manage effectively. Improper management of solid waste poses risks to the environment and public health. This paper dissects the state of solid waste management in India, and offers recommendations to solve the myriad challenges.
