BMTPC: Need for Accurate Estimation and Segregation of C&D Waste

Dr Shailesh K. Agrawal, Executive Director, BMTPC, emphasizes the need for accurate estimation and segregation of C&D waste to improve recycling and management practices.

It all began on October 2, 2014, when the Swachh Bharat Mission was launched with the aim of making India clean. Among its various initiatives, the mission envisioned 100% processing of solid waste generated in cities by October 2, 2019. A key objective was the effective management of Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste.
