The document discusses waste management in India and Udupi specifically. It defines different types of waste like municipal solid waste and industrial waste. It explains that waste management involves collection, transport, disposal, and recycling of waste. It provides details on waste generation amounts in major Indian cities. It also discusses regulations and management of specific waste streams like plastic, e-waste, hazardous waste, and more. It notes that Udupi uses an integrated system of door-to-door collection and landfilling but still faces issues like lack of awareness and irregular services. The conclusion is that India's waste situation requires a holistic approach that addresses both present and long-term solutions.

1. “A DESCRIPTIVE STUDY OF WASTE
MANAGEMENT IN INDIA AND
SPECIAL PREFERENCE TO UDUPI”

2. What is waste?
Waste is anything discarded, rejected
surpluses, abandoned, or otherwise released
into the environment in a manner (or quantity)
that could have an impact on that environment.

3. How waste is generated?
Man-made systems emphasize the economic
value of materials and energy, and where
production and consumption are the dominant
economic activities.

4. What are the different types of
waste?
 Municipal solid waste
 Industrial waste
 Biomedical waste or hospital waste

5. What is Waste management?
Waste management is the precise name for
the collection, transportation, disposal or
recycling and monitoring of waste.

6. How waste management
works?

7. Regulatory Framework:
 Municipal Solid Waste (Management and Handling) Rules
2000 under the Environment Protection Act 1986
 Bio-medical Waste Handling Rules, 1998
 Recycled Plastics Manufacture and Usage Rules
 Ministry of Environment and Forests (MOEF), GOI,
September 1999.
 National Plastic waste Management Task Force.
etc.

8. Waste management in India
Some recent survey on environment provides
the solid waste generation in major Indian
Cities. Per day solid waste generation in Delhi
is about 6,000 tonnes, Mumbai 5,500 tonnes,
Kolkata 3,500 tonnes, Madras 2,500 tonnes,
Ahmadabad 2,100 tonnes, Bangalore 2,000
tonnes, Jaipur 1,600 tonnes, Lucknow 1,500
tonnes, Surat 1,500 tonnes, Hyderabad 1,300
tonnes., etc.,

9. Plastic waste management
 15,722 tons of plastic waste is generated per
day.
 60% of total plastic waste generated is recycled
and 40% is littered and remains uncollected.

10. Packaging Waste Management
1. Food packaging material
2. Non-food packaging material
 Packaging, as a strategic business tool.

11. Construction and Demolition (C&D)
Waste Management:
• India generates about10-12 million tons of
waste annually.
• 50% of the C&D waste is not currently
recycled in India

12. Bio-medical Waste Management
 288.20 tons per day (56.87%) out of 506.74
tons per day wastes generating.

13. E-waste Management
• One of the fastest growing waste streams in the
world.
• Huge volume of waste being dumped and processed
within the country.

14. Hazardous Waste Management
 There are about 36,000 hazardous waste generating
industries in India.
 There are 141 hazardous waste dumpsites that have been
primarily identified in 14 States.

15. Waste management in Udupi
 Integrated solid waste management system
 Door-to-door collection
 Rs. 30 per house per month is charged by the
SHGs, the fee charged for hotels and other
business establishments varies from Rs. 300
to Rs. 1,000 or more per month depending on
the volume of waste generated.
 land filling

16. Achievements of UDUPI CMC:
 Street sweeping achieved 100%
 Secondary Transportation achieved 100%
 Secondary storage of solid waste achieved 100%

18. PRESENT PROBLEMS IN UDUPI
 Lack of awareness
 Unplanned and scattered

19. DRAWBACKS IN PRESENT SWM SERVICES
 No Storage of Waste at Source
 No System of Primary Collection from the
Doorstep
 Irregular Street Sweeping
 Transportation of Waste
 Processing of Waste
 Disposal of Waste

22.  Donate Clothes
 Reduce Food Waste
 Buy Things with Less Packaging
 Recycle
 Buy rechargeable batteries
 Reuse

23. Conclusion
Two decades of economic growth since 1990 has
changed the composition of Indian wastes. The
quantity of MSW generated in India is
increasing rapidly due to increasing population
and change in lifestyles. Land is scarce and
public health and environmental resources are
precious. The current SWM crisis in India
should be approached holistically; while
planning for long term solutions, focus on the
solving the present problems should be
maintained.
