Centralized waste management solutions are the one that are managed by the govt. The best examples of such type of solutions are the garbage truck by MCD, BMC or any other state body that comes to pick your garbage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whereas Decentralized waste management solutions refers to managing waste effectively at the source itself. Reuse, composting, waste segregation, etc. are some of its examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Importance of Decentralized waste management solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll surprised to know that out of 1.50 lakh metric tonne (MT) of solid waste collected every day in India<\/a>, only 20% (27,000 MT per day) is processed and the rest is dumped at landfill sites. Worse – approximately 90% (1,35,000 MT per day) of the total amount is collected waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because of our \u201cunchecked for decades\u201d waste management practices, i.e. throwing all waste in a single pot whether it\u2019s dry or wet, organic or plastic, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This makes it difficult for municipal workers to segregate the waste and manage it accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s where the importance of decentralized waste management practices such as recycling comes into the picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A typical waste cycle in India looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n But with recycling, we\u2019re eliminating the \u201cDump\u201d part, and instead using the used product\/by product to create something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This way there would be less load on the landfills, thus, reducing the emission of greenhouse gases such as methane that landfills generate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether it\u2019s Nike\u2019s Move to Zero<\/a> program or Zara\u2019s Clothing Collection Program<\/a>, brands around the globe are promoting recycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s an obvious move to promote brand\u2019s image, but it also brings down the cost of harvesting raw materials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The increasing demand for raw materials displaces many who live near to these resources, for example forests or around river systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With recycling, we also reduce the possibility of damaging someone else\u2019s land or community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Composting \u2014 is perhaps the best form of recycling that you can do\u2026 Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because composting not only prevents the organic waste to end up in landfill and emit green house gases such as methane, but it also turns the waste into compost that can further help replenishing essential nutrients back to the soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Composting is simple and almost everyone can do it at home. You just need to collect all your organic wastes & pile them in your backyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, make sure that your compost pile is well balanced in order to let the composting happen. The ideal composition of a composting pile is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1\/3rd Green <\/strong>(Common household waste that is rich in nitrogen) + 2\/3rd Brown <\/strong>(Paper, woods, cardboard, etc. that is rich in carbon)<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s more to composting that we can\u2019t cover here, so make sure to study or follow us on instagram https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/cleanindiaventure\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re an organization who produces a good amount of organic waste daily but don\u2019t want to spend your resources, time & space into composting it then you can try the Organic waste converters like GoClean organic waste composters<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These composters comes in various capacities ranging from anywhere 25 KG upto 1000 KG.
