An informative assessment conducted by Centre for Science and Environment, New Delhi on Solid Waste Management by Bulk Waste Generator (BWGs) within #Gurugram. The Solid Waste Management Rules (SWM) 2016 defines the #BWGs as those residential, commercial, government or private, educational, and social entities who generate an average rate of 100 kgs or more waste/day. This classification limit for BWGs varies from city to city based on the criteria set up by respective municipalities or urban local bodies (#ULBs).

🌱 How can the Waste Management sector act to halt and reverse #NatureLoss by 2030? 🗑️ Whilst the management sector cannot operate without #Nature - waste can also have detrimental impacts on the services provided by nature. 🌎 The World Bank projects that global waste generation could rise from 2.01 billion metric tons in 2016 to 3.40 billion metric tons by 2050. That’s why we’ve developed sector-specific actions businesses in the waste management sector can take to address nature loss 👇 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/e63PKM7P

Under the distinguished patronage of the Minister of Environment Dr. Nasser Yassin, 100% Liban proudly organized a thought-provoking panel discussion on the 31st of March, 2023. Titled "Reforming the Solid Waste Sector: Introducing Cost Recovery Mechanism," the event brought together experts and stakeholders to delve into crucial topics shaping our waste management practices. The panel addressed three key areas of focus: 1.Exploring the rationale behind implementing cost recovery in the waste sector, highlighting its significance in sustainable waste management solutions. 2. Presenting a proposed cost recovery scheme that aims to optimize resource allocation and promote efficient waste disposal practices. 3. Emphasizing the pivotal role of municipalities in the new system, discussing their responsibilities and contributions toward building an environmentally responsible waste management framework. We extend our gratitude to all the esteemed panelists and participants who shared their insights and engaged in constructive discussions. This collaborative effort signifies our collective commitment to driving positive change in Lebanon's waste management sector. #WasteManagement #Sustainability #CostRecovery #EnvironmentalResponsibility #Collaboration #PositiveChange

Kuwait faces significant waste management challenges, prompting the development of a comprehensive plan. Our proposal integrates innovative solutions like waste-to-energy and waste-to-product initiatives. By harnessing these technologies, we aim to generate 250 MW of electricity while simultaneously reducing waste. Additionally, our plan includes the ambitious goal of planting 10 million trees and mangroves to offset carbon emissions and enhance the environment. This reforestation effort not only benefits the ecosystem but also contributes to global carbon sequestration efforts. Moreover, the implementation of these initiatives will create approximately 2500 local jobs, boosting the economy and fostering community engagement. Ultimately, our goal is to achieve zero waste, promoting sustainability and environmental stewardship for future generations. #WasteManagement #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #CarbonOffset #JobCreation #ZeroWaste

The average monthly waste bills in most states from 2010 to 2015 ranged between 100 million and 150 million Naira. During this period, refuse dumps in peri-urban communities were regularly evacuated. However, between 2015 and 2022, the waste bill escalated, reaching 200-350 million Naira in some states. Over the past eight years, most state governors only covered waste evacuation for certain access routes. With the increasing costs of energy and operation, the expenses have soared to 350-500 million Naira monthly, amounting to an annual average of 6 billion Naira, rendering the current system unsustainable.   Despite attempts to address waste management, the existing system, coupled with the political dynamics, notably politicians using it for patronage and rewarding political loyalists, continues to exacerbate environmental issues related to waste disposal.   It is quite ironic to hear a state governor urging people to get arrested for their indiscriminate waste disposal practices. When citizens struggle to find viable alternatives to their waste problems, they resort to unconventional means to resolve them. It is imperative that governors provide a detailed breakdown of waste evacuation costs in their respective states and be transparent about the challenges they face. This transparency is essential in establishing an effective and sustainable waste management system. #Solidwaste #Indiscriminatedisposal #Wastemanagement #Sustainbaility #Transparency

In our part of world huge chunks of budgets are spent on collection of municipal solid waste and very low or no funds allocated for safe disposal. Waste collection without proper disposal is the biggest crime in solid waste management system. Collected waste is dumped in shape of dumpsites without any leachate or gas collection or treaatment. Without proper disposal systems problems related to waste remains there. Leachaet from dumpsites keeps contaminating the ground water and landfill gasses keeps polluting air. Authorities should focus on the broader picture and find ways to impliment the solid waste managment policies in true spirit to protect these natural resources. #solidwastemanagement #landfill #leachate #landfillgas #watercontamination #climatechange

Each day, the average person throws away between 0.11- 4.54 kilos of waste. That's 2.12 billion tons annually across the globe 😲 In Lebanon 🇱🇧, poor waste management means that a lot of waste ends up in river banks, polluting waterways and ecosystems. Many people see this as a structural problem which requires more infrastructure. However, when MAGENTA looked at the problem from an SBC perspective, we found a range of behavioral barriers stopping people from properly disposing their waste. Changing perceptions and behaviors towards waste management is the first step to designing and implementing sustainable solutions. MAGENTA, in partnership with Agence Française de Développement, championed an SBC approach to the problem through participatory workshops with key consortium partners - SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL, LebaneseRedCross. As a result of our work, there's now an action plan with a systematic framework for systematically diagnosing and analysing behavioral barriers associated with improper waste disposal 🚯 Shout out to our experts Khaled Darwazah and Joshua Martin for their impactful work! 👏 Learn more👇 https://lnkd.in/dtFV35wz #wastemanagement #sbc #participatory #sustainabledevelopment #lebanon
