Abstract
India's rapid economic growth has contributed to a significant increase in waste generation, posing serious challenges to environmental preservation and public well-being. This paper examines the problems, impacts, and solutions associated with the pressing need for effective waste management techniques. Currently, India generates approximately 62 million tonnes of solid waste annually, and projections indicate that this number could reach 165 million tonnes by 2030. However, only 70% of the waste produced is collected, and a mere 25% of the collected waste is properly treated, leading to environmental degradation and potential health risks. The primary objective of this paper is to analyze the complexities of waste management in India, highlighting the detrimental impacts of inadequate waste disposal practices. It explores the systemic problems, including insufficient waste collection and waste treatment infrastructure, limited public awareness, and weak regulatory frameworks. The paper also investigates the socioeconomic and environmental consequences of improper waste management, emphasizing the need for urgent action. Furthermore, the paper presents potential solutions and best practices to address the waste management challenges in India. It explores decentralized recycling units, improved coordination between stakeholders, and the utilization of innovative technologies. This paper underscores the importance of public awareness campaigns, sustainable financing, and strong regulatory frameworks to promote responsible waste management practices. Overall, this survey paper serves as a comprehensive resource, shedding light on the critical issues surrounding waste management in India. It offers valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners, aiming to facilitate the adoption of effective waste management strategies that safeguard the environment and ensure the well-being of the population.
