How India Accepts the Path Towards Sustainable Greener Future?

Eco-Friendly Future: Need of the Hour for India’s Ecosystem

The growing instances of environmental pollution do not require expert environmentalists to narrate that India’s ecosystem needs sustainable solutions. According to government reports, India’s sustainable infrastructure transformed India’s economy to 26 million US$. A section of economists believes that the involvement in multiple investors to support sustainable environmental reforms, and building recycling facilities will impact Indian economy positively. In fact, the CPCB has mandated EPR for Plastic waste, E Waste, Battery and Tyre waste management rules to foster sustainable waste management techniques.??

As a result, the number of EPR registered waste recycling companies are on the rise, which is expected to increase job scopes, and assure cost reduction leading India towards sustainable waste recycling.?

India’s Move Towards Zero Waste Commitment

Back in 2016, the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi vowed to ban single-use plastics from the country, which triggered the idea of sustainable waste management. By 2070, the country is looking ahead to achieve Net Zero emissions.?

The reduction of fossil fuel energy, and increasing dependency on recyclable waste processing mechanisms compelled CPCB to impose EPR for plastic waste guidelines in India.??

Apart from these, there are various other reasons to enforce rigid environmental laws and EC (Environmental Compensation) penalties for defying EPR guidelines in the nation.

Shocking Instances of Defying EPR for Waste Regulations Identified By CPCB??

• CPCB claims that huge amounts of toxic chemicals like dioxins and furans release around PM2.5 and PM10 particles in the ecosystem
• Around 9% of the total plastic waste accumulated in the ecology remains unrecycled contributing to soil and water solution??
• Several instances of unplanned disposal and scattering of Municipality Solid Waste give birth to harmful pests, and other chronic diseases
• Open burning of Municipal Solid Waste, and hazardous waste leads to Ground water pollution, river pollution releases harmful pollutants in the air
• India has generated around 9.24 million tons of Hazardous waste for the 2022-23 Financial Year, leading to 69.82% of overall waste generated in the country?

The implementation of EPR plastic waste, E Waste, Battery, and Tyre waste looks ahead to assure ecological sustainability in the nation.?

5 Paths Navigating India Towards Sustainability

• Assuring sustainable infrastructure to plan, design, and built, is a way to assure economic, social and environmental sustainability throughout its lifecycle?
• Invest in eco-friendly initiatives like collection, transportation and sustainable recycling of plastic, e waste, Battery and Tyre waste, etc.?
