The government has decided to link road construction with the Swachh Bharat Mission 2.0, paving the way for the use of inert material from solid waste in the building of embankments across national highways. The first pilot project was carried out in Delhi-NCR on urban extension road and DND Sohna spur of Delhi-Mumbai Expressway while the second pilot project was on Ahmedabad-Dholera Expressway. In both these cases, inert material, which is one of the major components of municipal solid waste, was used to make embankments. As per the ministry’s assessment, about 170 million tonnes of waste is accumulated at 2,304 dump sites in the country. Due to limited land availability, these landfill sites are on the verge of attaining maximum capacity and pose serious environmental and health hazards.
