CEEW Report Highlights Economic and Employment Potential of India's Urban Waste Management
A report by the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) highlights that India's urban organic waste could generate a $51 billion market and create 2.6 million jobs by 2047. Currently, India produces about 171,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste daily, with only 61% treated. Improved waste management could attract $24 billion in investments and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, addressing pollution and public health concerns linked to open waste burning and landfill overflow.
