HW Generating Units &
HW Generation Scenario
HW generation in States - No uniform trend
No. of Units generating Hazardous Wastes gone- up
Factors responsible:
Changes in regulatory classification:
Change over from 18 waste categories with annual threshold limits to 36 processes and corresponding waste streams
Emphasis on waste minimisation-zero discharge(Tanneries,textiles)
Fly-ash,gypsum sludge excluded
Units closed/New Units
CPCB GUIDANCE FOR INVENTORISATION
Published Sector Specific Waste Guidance Documents on Identification of HW Streams, Characterization and Waste Minimization Options:
Study completed :
Petrochemicals
Dyes and Dye Intermediates
Pesticides,etc(12 products)
Bulk Drugs & Pharmaceutical.
Study under progress:
Electroplating
Textile Industry
Solvents manufacturing sector, etc.
Pesticides,etc(10 products)
Iron & Steel, Chrome Ore Processing, Aluminium
Financial Viability of TSDFs
Viability to be ensured at reasonable user charges
Central / State Support
Waste Assurance ( Zonation & Enforcement)
Maharashtra-zonation
Gujarat-left to market forces
User Charges
- Charges fixed at tendering stage-Maharashtra
- Fixation - Tripartite consultation –A.P
- Market forces to determine-Gujarat
- Escalation in line with WPI
Scale of Operation and operating area- determine user charges
Recycling of Hazardous Waste
Import of specified categories permitted for Recycling using environmentally sound technology
Recycling of hazardous waste is permitted for units registered with CPCB and having ESM Facilities.
Guidance Document prepared on ESM of following Recyclable wastes : Used Oil, Waste Oil, Non-ferrous metals wastes
Technology Up gradation: linked to scale of operation
Large Gap between Demand and Supply w.r.t Lead , Copper and Zinc wastes.
India favours free movement of recyclables.
