The MoEFCC revised the rules for management of solid waste in the municipal areas after 16 years. The drawback with the earlier solid waste disposal rules was similar to plastic waste disposal rules i.e. applicable only in municipal areas.
Conclusion
Basel Convention on transboundary movement of hazardous waste, Rotterdam Convection on prior approval on hazardous chemicals and Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants are few but important international collaborations highlighting the need to tackle waste properly. Abiding to the rules of these conventions along with more collaborations of this nature to invent scientific methods of waste disposal is the way forward.
