The total waste generated by any country is calculated on the basis of per capita waste generation. As per the latest estimate by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, we generate more than one lakh of waste per day in India (0.3 kg per capita per day for small cities and 0.5 kg per capita per day for large cites). As per the latest Swachh Bharat Mission dashboard for Urban, more than 1.32 lakh of waste is generated under the Solid Waste Management calculation. These numbers are staggering and hence there is a lot of scope for waste management in India.
