The concept of waste and waste management in India
Authors
Vibha Bhardwaj
Abstract
India is now the world 3rd largest
garbage generator. Now a day waste is becoming more complex as a variety of
materials are discarded as waste together. The present paper seeks to examine
these vital questions with a view to providing answers from previous studies. It
was found that, waste is primarily subjective in meaning as a substance can
only be regarded as a waste when the owner labels it as such. This is
particularly true because one individual may regard a substance as a waste, while
another may view the same substance as a resource. Nevertheless, it was argued
that there is a need to clearly define what constitute wastes as this form the
basis for regulation. Improper waste disposal methods such as dumping in open
and gutter, burning were more practiced readily in comparison to
environmentally friendly methods like composting for kitchen waste.
