Solid Waste Management

Rules 2016
 Salient Features Of MSW Rules, 2016
1. The source segregation of waste has been mandated to channelize
the waste to wealth by recovery, reuse and recycle.
2. Responsibilities of Generators have been introduced to segregate
waste in to three streams, Wet, Dry and domestic hazardous
wastes and handover segregated wastes to authorised rag-pickers
or waste collectors or local bodies.
3. Generator will have to pay “User Fee” to waste collector and for
“Spot Fine” for Littering and Non-segregation.
4. The concept of partnership in Swachh Bharat has been
introduced. Bulk and institutional generators, market associations,
event organisers and hotels and restaurants have been made
directly responsible for segregation and sorting the waste and
manage in partnership with local bodies.
 Salient Features Of MSW Rules, 2016
5. All Resident Welfare and market Associations, Gated communities
and institution with an area “5,000 sq. m” should segregate waste
at source- in to valuable dry waste and handover recyclable
material to either the authorised waste pickers or the authorised
recyclers, or to the urban local body.
6. The bio-degradable waste should be processed, treated and
disposed of through composting or bio-methanation within the
premises as far as possible. The residual waste shall be given to the
waste collectors or agency as directed by the local authority.
7. All manufacturers of disposable products who sale or market their
products in such packaging material which are non-biodegradable
should put in place a system to collect back the packaging waste
generated due to their production.
8. The concept of RDF, and types of waste generated and the need of
WTE is also mentioned in the Waste Management Rules, 2016.
 Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste
management Rules, 2016
C & D Waste: What is it? Generation of C & D waste:
– New construction (8%)
“Construction and Demolition
– Repair & renovation (44%)
waste" means waste comprising
– Demolition (48%)
of building materials, debris and
rubble resulting from
Typical composition of C & D waste:
construction, remodelling/
– Soil, Sand & Gravel 36%
renovation, repair and
– Brick & Masonry 31%
demolition of any civil
– Concrete 23%
engineering structure.
– Metals 5%
– Bitumen 2%
– Wood 2%
– Others 1%
 C&D Waste Management
• Prevention of waste
• Minimisation of waste
• Reuse of waste
• Recycling of waste

Reasons of Repair/renovation & Demolition

• Due to expiry of useful life of structure (generation of waste)
• Due to poor quality of original construction
• Due to unauthorised (poor quality) construction and additions
thereafter
• Due to redevelopment for additional FSI
• Due to frequent renovations and construction by different agencies
due to poor co-ordination leading to creation of waste
 C&D waste mgt. rules, 2016
• It applies to every waste resulting from construction, re-modelling, repair and
demolition of any civil structure of individual or organization or authority who
generates C & D waste.
– Construction of new buildings
– Renovation of existing buildings
– Demolition of existing, old dilapidated structures;
– Excavation/reconstruction of asphalt/ concrete roads;
– Construction of new fly over bridges/ under bridges/ sub-ways etc.;
– Renovation/ Installation of new water/ telephone/ internet/ sewer pipe
lines etc
• Waste generators who generate 20 tonnes or more in one day or 300 tonnes
per project in a month are classified as “bulk C & D waste generators”.
Therefore, greater responsibility is on bulk C & D waste generators. Further
they are required to segregate the waste into four categories as concrete,
soil, steel - wood - plastic, and bricks and mortar.
• Aim of Swachh Bharat Mission - 100 % solid waste including C & D waste is to
be processed under “The Swachh Bharat Mission” by 2nd October, 2019
 Plastic Waste Management (Amended)
Rules, 2018
• The Ministry of Environment, Forest and
Climate Change has notified the Plastic Waste
Management (Amendment) Rules 2018. The
amended Rules lay down that the phasing out
of Multilayered Plastic (MLP) is now applicable
to MLP, which are “non-recyclable, or non-
energy recoverable, or with no alternate use.”
 What is plastic
• Plastics are synthetic polymers derived from petro
fossil feedstock and made-up of long chain
hydrocarbons with additives.
• “Plastic waste “ means any plastic product such as
carry bags, pouches or multi-layered packing, which
have been discarded after use or after their intended
life is over
• Plastic material found in our waste are various both
according to their nature and to their uses.
• Indeed, the vast majority of plastic material is made of
petroleum products and they are not biodegradable
Plastic: the types & recycling
 Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016

• Aluminium thickness of plastic carry bags increased

from 40 to 50 microns
• Responsibility of local bodies and gram panchayat
• Responsibility of waste generator
• Collect back system and extended producer
responsibility (EPR)
• Responsibility of retailers and street vendors
• Registration of the shopkeepers and street vendor to
getting plastic bag

 e-Waste Management Rules 2016
What is e-Waste
• E-waste is the term used to cover all items of electrical and
electronic equipment (EEE) and its parts that have been
discarded by its owner as waste without the intent of re-use. It is
also referred to as WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment), electronic waste or e-scrap in different regions.
• As per the Indian e-Waste Management Handling rule 2015
(under drafting) 'E-waste' means waste electrical and electronic
equipment whole or in part or rejects from their manufacturing,
refurbishment and repair process which are intended to be
discarded as waste.
• E-waste comprises of waste electronics goods which are not fit
for their originally intended use.
• Such electronics goods may be television, telephones, radios,
computers, printers, fax machines, DVDs and CDs etc. 2
 Is e-waste hazardous?
• E-waste in itself is not hazardous. However, the hazardous
constituents present in the e-waste render it hazardous when
such wastes are dismantled and processed, since it is only at
this stage that they pose hazard to health and environment
• Electronics products like computers and cell phones contain a
lot of different toxins.
– For example, Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) contain heavy
metals such as Lead, Barium and Cadmium, which can
damage human nervous and respiratory system if they
enter the water system
 How is e-waste handled in India?
• In India, around 90% of e-waste handled by the
informal sectors
• Incineration & Land filling are used currently for
majority of e waste Incineration
• E waste are destroyed by burning, produces
harmful gases Land filling: Often leads to leakage,
contaminate water and soil
• Developed countries dump e waste into
developing countries very less percentage of e-
waste is recycled
 Opportunities for e-waste
EEE contains various materials including hazardous, valuable and
scarce metals. Common hazardous materials found in e-waste are:
– heavy metals (such as mercury, lead, cadmium etc.) and
hazardous materials,
– e-waste also contains many valuable materials (such as iron,
copper, aluminium and plastics) and precious metals (like
gold, silver, platinum and palladium) that can be recycled.
– In fact, up to 60 elements from the periodic table can be
found in complex electronics, and many of them are
recoverable, though it is not always economic to do so
presently.
– From the resource perspective, e-waste is a potential “urban
mine” that could provide a great amount of secondary
resources for remanufacture, refurbishment and recycling.
 e-Waste Management Rules, 2016
• Producer is responsible for creating awareness and implementation
of take back system.
• Collection centers should be authorize by pollution control board to
collect e waste and to ensure that the facilities are in accordance
with the standards or guidelines prescribed by CPCB and e waste is
handled in environment friendly manner.
• Bulk Consumers need to ensure that generated e waste by them is
channelized to collection centers.
• Dismantler and recycler need to take authorization by pollution
control board.
• All the process and residue should be handled in environment
friendly manner.
• All are required to maintain the record of e waste generated and
handled.
• State pollution control board plays a important role.

• While buying electronic products
consumers should opt for those that –
– are made with fewer toxic
constituents.
– use recycled content.
– are energy efficient.
• Establishment of e-waste collection,
exchange and recycling centers should
be encouraged.
 What we, as Citizens can do…

• Train employees on recycling practices prior to implementing
recycling programs.
• Conduct an ongoing training process as new technologies are
introduced and new employees join the institution.
