NTPC –Waste Management
1.0 Background:

NTPC is committed to the protection of the environment through the implementation of an effective
waste management guidelines that meets all legislative and regulatory requirements. Waste
Management is part of Environment & public health and sanitation - according to the Indian
Constitution - it falls under the state list. As this activity is of local nature, it is entrusted to the Notified
township for industrial cluster/Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). The management of municipal solid
waste/Hazardous Waste/E-Waste/Plastic Waste/ Bio-Medical/Battery waste wastes are the most
important obligatory functions of the any industry & urban local bodies. NTPC is committed to the
protection of the environment through the implementation of an effective waste management
guidelines that meets all legislative and regulatory requirements placed on it.

The ways to handle waste management are based on Rules notified by the Ministry of Environment,
Forest & Climate Change, Govt. of India.

2.0 STATEMENT OF INTENT: “To manage all type of waste (handle, internal transportation, Storage & Disposal)
not only to comply the legal provisions in the country under the gamut of Waste Management Rules as per
notification issued under EPA-1986 by MOEF & CC time to time i.e. E-waste (Management) Rules, 2016, Bio-
Medical Waste Management Rules,2016, Construction and Demolition Waste Management Rules, 2016,
Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016,Batteries (Management
and Handling) Rules,2001 and Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016” but to set our own internal bench mark
beyond compliance.
Our aim is “ No Deviation to Benchmarks”
(As detail provided at Url:
http://envfor.nic.in/sites/default/files/Waste%20Management%20Rules,%202016.pdf

Waste Management Rules under EPA, 1986 applicable to Thermal Power Stations:

 Construction and Demolition Waste Management Rules,2016 (If qualify the condition for
generation of waste quantity)

3.0 OBJECTIVE: Managing the all waste generated at stations or NTPC premises as per relevant legislation
framework & establish system to use the wastes as a resource under the existing provisions of law without
deviation.

Solid Waste: It is defined as Waste (also known as rubbish, trash, refuse, garbage, junk) is any
unwanted or useless materials. OR
Any materials unused and rejected as worthless or unwanted and “A useless or profile less activity
using or expanding or consuming thoughtlessly or carefully.”
OR
Solid material comes out of living being activities on earth and Human Being is “ Not wise enough to
use for his intended use”
waste definition As per Basel Convention Article 2 - Definitions: "Wastes" are substances or objects
which are disposed of or are intended to be disposed of or are required to be disposed of by
the provisions of national law;
waste definition (Rule) : Waste is defined as: - “any substance or object which the holder discards or
intends or is required to discard” Waste originating from premises owned or occupied by
NTPC is considered to be controlled waste, means household, industrial and commercial
waste or any such waste”.
“waste” means materials that are not products or by-products, for which the generator has no
further use for the purposes of production, transformation or consumption.
This waste is regulated because of its toxicity, hazardous nature and damageable to the nature or
capability to do harm to human health or the environment either now or at some point in
the future.
4.0 AIM of the Document
a) To minimize waste generation at source and to facilitate segregation at source, waste
handling, reuse, recycling, transfer, storage and disposal of waste.
b) To clearly define the roles and responsibilities to identify and co-ordinate each activity
within the waste management chain of station/ Office.
c) To ensure that waste management is performed in accordance with all waste legislative
requirements & intent of this document, which governs the safe and correct handling,
storage and treatment of all waste, and to plan for future legislative changes and to
mitigate their effects.
d) To promote environmental awareness in order to increase and encourage waste
minimization, reuse and recycling.
e) There shall be “ No Deviation “ from the procedure & guidelines of this document.
5.0 APPLICABILITY: This Document will applicable across the NTPC in all premises (Projects, Stations,
Townships & Offices) either fully owned or JVs/ subsidiaries. All Station/ Plants/JVs employees must
adhere to the Waste Management policy and associated procedures and must be adopted by
contractors, visitors, trainees and students on placement, voluntary workers, staff working on
behalf of the NTPC and other in premises which are either owned or occupied by NTPC.

6.0 Awareness about this document: This document will be communicated to all concerned executives, all
