While management of waste is a major challenge for urban India, it is also one of the sustainable energy generation resources and has the potential to improve the economy of the country. Given the urgent need to focus on the subject and realizing the economic potential which could be generated from waste, CII has been working on developing a framework for a waste management policy and practice that combines protection of the environment and human health while capitalizing on the economic and strategic advances.

CII has also convened a Working task force including the partners from government, research and academia to

• Define methods for control of the generation of waste,
• Appropriate treatment of waste (including recycling),
• Regulations regarding waste treatment facilities and
• Waste management operators and
• Develop a robust and sustainable PPP model
• Encourage private sector investment and participation
