  • The increasing demand for sustainability and rapid population growth drives the waste recycling services market.
  • The modern economy's escalating waste volume and complexity are increasingly endangering ecosystems and human health. Globally, an estimated 11.2 billion tonnes of solid waste are collected annually, with the decay of its organic fraction contributing to about 5% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. Notably, waste from electrical and electronic equipment, laden with new and hazardous substances, is emerging as a top challenge in both developed and developing nations.
  • Poor waste management, spanning from absent collection systems to inadequate disposal methods, leads to air pollution and contaminates water and soil. Improper landfills further contaminate drinking water, posing health risks and disease transmission. Debris dispersal harms ecosystems, while hazardous substances from electronic and industrial waste strain both urban health and the environment.
  • The primary solution lies in waste minimization. When waste is inevitable, the focus shifts to material and energy recovery, alongside remanufacturing and recycling. Recycling, in particular, offers significant resource savings. For instance, recycling a tonne of paper saves 17 trees and 50% of the water typically used. Additionally, the recycling industry is a significant job creator, employing over 12 million individuals across Brazil, China, and the United States.
  • On March 15, 2024, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MOEFCC) announced the Plastic Waste Management (Amendment) Rules, 2024, in the Gazette of India, further refining the 2016 Plastic Waste Management Rules. Effective immediately upon publication, this amendment underscored India's commitment to combating plastic pollution. Hence, government bodies across various regions are intensifying efforts to minimize waste and promote recycling services.
