## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT, FOREST AND CLIMATE CHANGE

(SHRI ASHWINI KUMAR CHOUBEY)

- (a)to(e) The  Central  Pollution  Control  Board  (CPCB)  compiles  the  data  on  construction  & demolition (C&D) waste management on the basis of the annual reports submitted by the State Pollution Control Boards/ Pollution Control Committees (SPCBs/ PCCs) under the provisions of C&D Waste Management Rules, 2016. The SPCBs/ PCCs are required to file annual report for the preceding calendar year, accordingly, the data is available up to 2021-22. The data on waste generation and recycling capacity for the year 2021-22 is placed at Annexure-A.

The planning, designing, execution and operation of solid waste management projects, including C&D waste, is the responsibility of the State Government and Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) under C&D Waste Management Rules, 2016. However, the Ministry of Housing  and  Urban  Affairs  (MoHUA)  facilitates  ULBs  by  framing  broad  policies, guidelines and extending financial assistance. The Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban) 2.0 [SBM (U) 2.0] scheme has identified a total of 154 cities, which are falling under Nation Clean  Air  Programme  and  SBM  (U),  which  are  eligible  for  financial  support. Accordingly, a cumulative capacity of 7453.53 tonnes per day of C&D waste processing in 69 ULBs is approved so far under SBM (U) 2.0.

The Part 11 - 'Approach to Sustainability' of the National Building Code of India 2016, and  Indian  Standard  IS  15883  (Part  11):2021  'Construction  project  management  -

Guidelines:  Part  11  Sustainability  Management',  published  by  the  Bureau  of  Indian Standards, makes suitable provisions for construction waste management which includes identification, segregation and storage of wastes; reuse and recycling; and handling and disposal of waste. It also provides the framework for sustainable construction practices with the use of alternate materials.
