While smaller cities are more efficient at waste segregation, India needs strong commitment to manage its waste

India Today  

Smaller cities have been innovative and "more successful" in implementing waste segregation at source methodology compared to the bigger ones, a green body today said, as it awarded a small town in Maharashtra for its eco-friendly initiatives. Cities with higher segregation percentage As per CSE, 4 of the 20 forum cities assessed have a segregation percentage higher than 90 per cent: Indore in Madhya Pradesh Panchgani in Maharashtra Vengurla in Maharashtra Alappuzha in Kerala Also, 6 cities have wet waste processing greater than 90 per cent: Indore Mysore Alappuzha Panchgani Balaghat Vengurla According to CSE, these 4 cities have 90 per cent or higher dry waste processing: Panchgani Vengurla Indore Alappuzha The National Capital Region did not perform well. "Our objective through this assessment is to work with cities and help them perform better and continue to reinvent their waste management systems," CSE's deputy director general Chandra Bhushan said. Under this forum, 26 cities from 14 states have come together to ensure that they adopt 100 per cent source segregation and become the pioneers of waste management in the country. India needs a strong commitment to manage its waste India needs to have a strong commitment on waste management with concerted efforts from all stakeholders including policy-makers, bureaucracy and the people, experts here said.
