India Faces Challenges in Managing Organic Waste Amid Rising Consumption
India faces growing challenges from increasing waste due to rising consumption linked to economic growth. The country largely follows a linear economic model, leading to widespread mixed waste disposal visible across various environments. Organic waste, which is biodegradable and recoverable as compost or biogas, often contaminates recyclables and contributes to pollution when improperly discarded. Despite a regulatory framework evolving since 2000, including the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2026, effective implementation remains a key challenge to improve waste management and resource recovery.
