Hats off to Hon’ble Minister @krishnabyregowda for speaking the truth about India’s waste management realities.

We need professional, accountable and scientifically managed waste management—not temporary fixes.

Thank you, Sir, for calling for meaningful change. 🇮🇳♻️

The Opposition remained silent on Bengaluru’s garbage problem for two decades and is now criticising us for solving it.

There had been no garbage tendering process since 2006. Our government has now stepped in to fix the system and address this long-pending issue.

🔥 SWM Rules 2026: RDF Obligation

Industrial units, including cement plants, must increase RDF usage from 5% to 15% over the next 6 years.

♻️ Turning waste into a resource.
🏭 Lower fossil fuel dependence.
🌍 Reduced emissions.

#SWMRules2026 #RDF #IndianEnviro

[IndianEnviro @IndianEnviro]

🚯 62 Million Tonnes.

That's how much municipal waste India generates every year.

The future isn't about managing waste.
It's about recovering resources.

♻️ Segregate. Recover. Recycle.

[IndianEnviro @IndianEnviro]

📢 SWM Rules 2026 introduce Extended Bulk Waste Generator Responsibility (EBWGR).

Bulk Waste Generators are now directly accountable for ensuring environmentally sound processing of their waste.

#SWMRules2026 #WasteManagement #IndianEnviro

[IndianEnviro @IndianEnviro]

🚯 What you do.
🗑️ What you cause.
🌳 What you expect.

We cannot litter our streets and expect clean cities.

Every piece of waste thrown carelessly pollutes our environment.

♻️ Use a bin. Be Responsible. Be The Change.

🇮🇳 India generates ~1.6 lakh TPD of waste with 20+ WtE plants.
🇨🇳 China operates 1,000+ WtE plants, turning waste into energy at scale.
India has a massive opportunity to reduce landfills, recover resources, and generate clean power. ♻️⚡

♻️ EPR Landscape in India
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is reshaping how India manages plastic, e-waste, batteries & more. It makes producers accountable for the entire lifecycle of their products. Here’s a quick breakdown 🧵
#IndianEnviro #EPR #Sustainability

[IndianEnviro @IndianEnviro]

🌱 Why It Matters

Shifts burden of waste management from govt → producers.

Encourages recycling industry growth.

Helps India meet net-zero & circular economy goals.

Boosts innovation in sustainable packaging & resource recovery.
