​

Answer 1

Answer:

Waste management in India falls under the purview of the Union Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change . In 2016, this ministry released the Solid Wastage Management . Rules, these rules replaced the Municipal Solid Waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 2000 which had been in place for 16 years.[1] This national policy is notable in that it has acknowledged and included the informal sector (waste pickers) into the waste management process for the first time.

Urban India (about 377 million people) generates 62 million tonnes of municipal solid waste (MSW) each year. Of this about 43 million tonnes (70%) is collected and 11.9 million tonnes (20%) is treated. About 31 million tonnes (50%) is dumped in landfill sites.[2][3]

With changing consumption patterns and rapid economic growth it is estimated that urban municipal solid waste generation will increase to 165 million tonnes in 2030.
