## ANSWER

## MINISTER  OF  STATE  IN  THE  MINISTRY  OF  ENVIRONMENT,  FOREST  AND CLIMATE CHANGE (SHRI BABUL SUPRIYO)

(a) The Ministry in supersession of Municipal Solid Waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 2000, has notified Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016. In the new Rules, emphasis has been given for segregation of waste at source and handing over the segregated waste to waste  collector  or  agency  to  promote  the  recyclers  to  develop  sustainable  market  through recycling of waste.

(b) and (c) As  per  the  information  available  with  the  Ministry  of  Housing  and  Urban Affairs (MoHUA) 54.4 Million Ton per Annum (MTPA) of solid waste is generated in the country. The Statewise generation of municipal solid waste is tabulated in the Annexure. Out of 84,427 wards, 79,196 wards have door-to-door collection system and 57,810 wards have source segregation system. Some cities like Indore, Vishakhapatnam, Pune, Bhopal etc. are segregating their waste in all of its wards.

(d) The Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016 mandates the State Government to prepare the state policy and prescribed the duties and responsibilities of the local authority and village panchayats to prepare the solid waste management plan as per the state policy and strategy on solid  waste  management.  Approximately  all  State  governments  have  prepared  the  State Policy  for  solid  waste  management,  accordingly  the  local  authorities  are  mandated  to implement their own solid waste management plan.

(e) The Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016 mandate all manufacturers/brand owners of disposable products such as tin, glass, plastics packaging etc. toprovide necessary financial assistance  to  local  authorities  for  establishment  of  waste  management  system.  Further,  the brand owners who place their products in non-biodegradable packaging are mandated to put in place a system to collect back the packaging waste so generated.
