An Analytical Study on Waste Management and Recycling in Business Settings

Abstract

Waste management and recycling in India have received significant attention due to growing concerns about environmental sustainability and resource conservation. India generates over 150,000 tonnes of solid waste daily, with urban areas contributing the majority. This waste includes domestic, industrial, and commercial waste. Recycling rates have historically been low due to a lack of infrastructure and awareness. However, the need for proper sorting and recycling of waste is increasingly recognized. A significant portion of recycling in India is done by the informal sector, which includes waste pickers and small recycling units. In this study, the researcher examines the awareness level of waste Management and recycling methods among the industries, analyzes the challenges faced by the industries in Waste Management and Recycling methods, and suggests ways for the future growth of Waste Management and Recycling methods among Industries.
