The meeting also reviewed the progress made in the execution of the Solid Waste Regulations, which the government needs to investigate.

The attendees got to know about the period in which the Waste Management directives had to be executed.

It is mandatory for apartments/flats over 30 households and establishments (hospitals, lodges, wedding halls, hotels, catering, etc.) to build an On-Site Composting Unit and treat the waste at the source.

Approved by the National Green Tribunal (NGT), directions were issued to construct composting systems utilising the technology to treat wet waste developed by the companies.

Considering the severity of the waste disposal system recently, every stakeholder is issued a strict three-month period to start wet waste treatment in their buildings.
