With the advent of technology it is necessary to adopt such new-age technology in managing waste to ensure maximum efficiency and sustainability. Advanced technologies, such as IoT sensors, data analytics, and automated waste sorting systems, enable real-time monitoring, precise waste categorization, and streamlined operations. This boosts resource utilization along with reducing environmental impact by promoting recycling and minimizing landfill usage. Embracing innovative solutions ensures a smarter and more eco-friendly approach to waste management, addressing the challenges of growing urbanization and promoting a clean, green and helathy environment for future generations.
initiatives to promote climate-sensitive planning and development. “There are eight National Missions under the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) which focuses on climate change adaptation and mitigation”. One of them is the National Mission on Sustainable Habitat (NMSH) at Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA). NMSH identifies Waste management as an area of prime importance. MoHUA has launched City Investments to Innovate, Integrate and Sustain (CITIIS 2.0), the second phase of the CITIIS program, in collaboration with Agence Française de Développement (AFD), KfW, European Union (EU), and National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA) to supplement such climate initiatives of GoI and MoHUA through its unique model. The CITIIS 2.0 challenge has 3 components. Component 1 is a City Level Action on Promoting Circular Economy with Focus on Integrated Waste Management, Component 2 is a State-Level Action on Strengthening Climate Governance Mechanisms for Climate Action through Data-Driven Planning & Capacity Building and Component 3 is a National-Level Action on Institutional Strengthening, climate research, Knowledge capitalization and Capacity Building. The focus of this article will be component 1 i.e. City level action on Waste Management with a focus on circular economy.
Belagavi city is situated at latitude 150-51’ North and Longitude 740- 31’ East and height of 710 meters above M.S.L in the northern slope of the basin of water course called the Bellary Nallah. The City Corporation Belagavi has a total of 58 wards in a total extent of 94.07 sq. km. As per 2011 census the Population of Belagavi City is 4,88,157. The current population of the city in approximately 7,83,000 and it is expected to reach 11,00,000 by the year 2040. Belagavi city has adopted a waste management system which is functional yet not fully effective. The city has achieved 80% collection efficiency and processing. No presorting is being done neither at the household level nor at the plant. Landfill sites are being filled at a fast pace due to the large quantity of rejects consisting of plastic material.
Key Words: ‘Waste management’, ‘Sustainability’, ‘Circular Economy’, ‘Social Inclusion’, ‘Stakeholder’, ‘Climate control’.
The city currently produces a mixed waste of 250 TPD per day which is projected to reach 500 TPD by 2040. To cater this increase in the waste generation there is a need to implement a sturdy Solid Waste Management system which is efficient and environment friendly. Apart from implementing a SWM system it is equally important to create a sense of faith among all the stakeholders that together we can make our city’s municipal waste management system efficient and turn our city clean and healthy. Hence, the project is called as VIISWAS i.e. Vision to Implement Integrated Solid Waste Management And Sustainability Project. With CITIIS initiative Belagavi can achieve the above and put a step forward in preparing itself to become future ready and a leader in Solid Waste Management.
1. INTRODUCTION Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) being a part of public health and sanitation has been entrusted to the Urban Local Body’s (ULBs). MSWM though an essential service was not given much importance till recently due to lack of financial resources, improper choice of technology, institutional capacity and public apathy towards SWM. Improper processing, treatment and final disposal of solid waste in unscientific dumpsites pose problems such as ground and water contamination, air pollution etc. Presently, the Solid waste management is assuming larger importance due to population expansion in municipal areas, legal intervention, Government sponsored schemes, emergence of newer technologies and rising public awareness towards cleanliness.
