proposed by Environmental Protection Agency is designed to
establish an innovative system to track hazardous waste
shipments electronically. The popularly known eManifest
system modernizes the process of hazardous waste tracking. It
not only saves valuable time and government resources but
also reduces the burden associated with paper manifests. It

In India, state governments like Tamil Nadu and other local authorities are developing
strategies to implement the same eManifest system to track hazardous waste shipments.
The leading environmentalist Ritik Kumar Sinha explores how the state authorities can
make this possible by finding some other alternatives to track waste shipments.
According to him, the nation needs to modify the traditional methods because the
modification is vital for the current hazardous waste manifest system to increase the
effectiveness of compliance monitoring of waste shipments by HW handlers. Ritik Kumar
Sinha further states that technological advancement in this area will further make jobs
easier for HW handlers and it will also boost the visibility of manifest data. By implementing
similar resources to our current manifest system, we can effectively minimize
environmental impact.

To effectively implement the principles of sustainable development, the
government of India is focusing on regulating strict guidelines to state
authorities and municipalities to remain environmentally accountable.
Expressing his concern about this, Ritik Sinha says that it is a great
irony in our country that there are separate rules and separate
compliances and all the states don’t bother to come together to deal
with any challenge.
