My Green Mission

The Asian-Pacific region is facing severe challenges in coping with the rapidly increasing volume and changing characteristics of urban and industrial wastes. The quantum of waste is increasing significantly due to rising population, increasing consumption and per capita waste generation. Apart from municipal solid waste, emerging waste streams such as electronic waste, health-care waste, plastic waste, construction and demolition waste and hazardous waste have become matter of concern. These wastes, if not managed properly, will have adverse impact on human health, eco-system and resources, threatening the sustainability of the region and its economics. Alternate models of growth such as Reduce, Reuse and Recycle – 3Rs need to be promoted as the key element of such a strategy to decouple economic growth from excessive use of resources which minimises generation and disposal of wastes.
