Waste Management Challenges in India - India faces a significant garbage problem, with litter on roads, plastic in rivers, and trash in parks, indicating a hidden and growing issue [2] - Composting, while seemingly simple, requires dedicated effort, proper space, and maintenance at both household and industrial scales [9][10] - Industrial-scale composting faces challenges such as land requirements, scientific processing to avoid greenhouse gas emissions, and ensuring the compost is nutritious and economically viable [10][11] - Waste management should be viewed as a responsibility rather than a source of wealth, requiring understanding from citizens and policymakers [12] Government's Role in Waste Management - The government needs a clear policy for waste management, covering collection, sweeping, segregation, transportation, and disposal, while avoiding monopolies [14] - Clear laws are needed for composting, landfills, bricketting, recycling, biogas, and BSF (Black Soldier Fly) processes [15] - Officers handling waste management should possess good knowledge of environmental issues and the consequences involved [16][17] - Processors in waste management should be supported with proper lands and laws that environmentally aware people can handle [17] Community and Individual Responsibility - Individuals can contribute by not littering, separating wet and dry waste, and reducing unnecessary consumption [5][6] - Segregating wet and dry waste is crucial for effective composting and recycling [5] - Reducing consumption is essential before considering recycling or reuse [6] - Collective effort and conversations about waste management can contribute to a garbage-free India [18]
