NEW DELHI: Highlighting how a large share of municipal waste can be prevented from getting dumped at landfills by recycling them, a report prepared by the housing and urban development ministry has recommended a complete ban on the disposal of recyclables at such sites. It has also recommended state pollution control boards and urban development and industry departments introduce a tax for the dumping of all municipal waste in landfills
The report comes at a time when cities are struggling to get rid of mountains of municipal wastes, including the three such big legacy dumpsites in Delhi. Cities are also finding it difficult to find new landfill sites.
The report titled 'Circular Economy in Municipal Solid and Liquid Waste' said: "Disposing of recyclables in landfills/dumpsites not only leads to loss of valued resources but also causes environmental pollution." It has also recommended that the government reduce the GST and other taxes on products made from recycled materials to 5% to encourage the recycling of waste.
The report prepared by experts from the IITs reputed research institutes, and government entities gain importance as a large share of untreated and unprocessed municipal wastes reach dump yards or get into water bodies and pose a major crisis amid a spurt in urbanization with little planning to tackle such challenges.
It has been estimated that proper treatment of municipal solid, wet, and construction wastes can generate nearly Rs 30,000 crore revenue per annum and create employment opportunities for more than one crore people by 2025. Currently, India generates approximately 1.4 lakh tonnes of solid waste daily and 35% of this is dry waste. A major share of dry waste is plastic. The report says that approximately 26,000 tonnes of plastic waste is generated daily and out of these only 15,600 tonnes are recycled. Around 9,400 tonnes are left uncollected and these go to the landfills or water bodies.
The report has estimated that material recycling facilities can help improve recovery from the current Rs 5,187 crore per annum from dry municipal waste to Rs 17,023 crore by 2025.

Decided after reading this that I would check this site weekly going forward, and a stop at marketmirth reinforced that commitment, deciding to add a site to a regular rotation requires meeting a quality bar that very few places clear and this one cleared it cleanly without any noticeable effort or marketing push behind it.

Came here from a search and stayed for the side links because they were that interesting, and a stop at harborcrateworks took me even further into the site, the kind of organic exploration that good content invites is something most sites kill through aggressive interlinking and pushy navigation choices rather than relying on quality.

Reading this brought back an idea I had set aside months ago, and a stop at pinevendoroutlet added more substance to that idea, content that revives dormant projects in my own thinking is content with serious creative value and this site is contributing to my own work in ways I had not expected when first clicking through.

Came back to this twice now in the same week which is unusual for me, and a look at watchwarden suggested I will keep coming back, the kind of post that earns repeated visits rather than one and done reading is the gold standard for content quality and this site clearly hit that standard.

Felt slightly impressed without being able to point to one specific reason, and a look at unsolvedstories continued that diffuse positive feeling, when content works at a level you cannot easily articulate the writer is doing something with craft rather than just delivering information and that is something I have learned to recognise.

Reading this in a relaxed evening setting was a small pleasure, and a stop at terrarack extended the pleasant evening reading, content that fits the tone of relaxed time without becoming forgettable is what I look for in evening reading and this site has the right tone for that particular slot in my daily reading routine.

On reflection this is the kind of writing that improves my taste for what is possible in the format, and a look at wavlix continued raising that bar, content that elevates my expectations rather than lowering them is doing important work in calibrating my standards and this site is participating in that elevation reliably.
WilfordTum
Honestly the simplicity of the explanation made the topic click for me in a way other writeups had not, and a look at wovencart continued that clarity into related areas, when a writer gets the level of explanation right the reader does the heavy lifting themselves and the post just enables it.

Now planning to recommend this site in a context where my recommendations are taken seriously, and a stop at adapteralley confirmed I should make that recommendation soon, the small but real act of recommending content into spaces where my taste matters is something I take seriously and this site is worth the recommendation.

Skipped the TLDR thinking I would read everything anyway, and ended up enjoying the path through the full post, and a stop at traveltrunkshop similarly rewarded the patient read, summaries are useful but the journey through good writing is part of what makes the destination feel earned rather than just delivered cleanly.

A quiet kind of confidence runs through the writing, and a look at coralaisle carried that same understated assurance, confidence without bragging is the most attractive register for online writing and the writers here have clearly developed it through practice rather than affecting it through stylistic tricks that would feel hollow eventually.
Garyidege
Thanks for putting this online without locking it behind email signups or paywalls, and a quick visit to digestivedock kept that open feel going, content that trusts the reader to come back rather than gating access is the kind of approach I will reward with regular return visits over time happily.
ChanceEresk
Now planning to come back when I have the right kind of attention to read carefully, and a stop at briskharbor reinforced that plan, choosing the right moment to read certain content is a quiet form of respect for the work and this site is generating those careful planning behaviours from me consistently as a reader.

If quality blog writing is dying as people sometimes claim then this site is one piece of evidence that it has not died yet, and a look at growthmovesbydesign extended that evidence, the broader cultural question about online writing has empirical answers in specific sites and this one is contributing to a more optimistic answer overall.
Dongoock
Really appreciate this kind of writing, no shouting and no clickbait headlines just steady useful content, and a quick look at eastcrate kept that going, definitely a site I will be returning to whenever I need a sensible take on similar topics in the days ahead and also during slower work weeks.
Codyunops
Useful reading material, the kind I can hand off to someone newer to the topic without worrying about confusing them, and a quick look at jarvico confirmed the same beginner friendly tone runs throughout the site which is great for sharing with people just starting their learning journey on this particular topic.
Tateblems
Generally I bookmark sparingly to avoid building up a bookmark graveyard but this one earned a permanent slot, and a stop at mossvendorhouse extended that permanence designation, the few sites I keep permanent bookmarks for are sites I expect to use repeatedly and this one has clearly cleared that expectation bar today.

Worth every minute of the time spent reading, and a stop at ivorybazaar extends that value across more pages, in a media environment where most content is engineered to waste attention this site stands out by treating reader time as something valuable rather than something to be exploited and stretched as far as possible.
KentDes
Reading this in a moment of low energy still kept my attention, and a stop at lamplounge continued that engagement under suboptimal conditions, content that survives the reader being tired is content with extra reserves of pull and this site has the kind of writing that holds up even when I am not at my reading best.
RicardoWak
Came in tired from a long day and the writing held my attention anyway, and a stop at graniteaisle kept that going, content that can engage a fatigued reader is doing something right because most online reading happens in suboptimal conditions like that one and quality content adapts to it without complaint.
DuncanRAT
Easy to recommend without reservations, the site delivers on every promise it implicitly makes, and a look at urbanparcel kept that same standard going, the kind of consistency that earns trust over time rather than chasing it through aggressive marketing is what I see here and it is appreciated greatly by this particular reader today.

TristanKah
Decided not to comment because the post said what needed saying, and a stop at packagingparadise continued that complete feel, content that does not invite obvious additions or corrections from readers is content that has been carefully considered and this site appears to consistently produce pieces that satisfy rather than provoke unnecessary follow ups.
BrendonPen
Will be coming back to this for sure, too much good content to absorb in one sitting, and a stop at potandpetal only added more pages I want to dig through, this site is going onto my regular rotation list because it consistently delivers something worth the visit lately rather than empty filler.
JermaineRiz
After several visits I am now confident this site is one to follow seriously, and a stop at auricly reinforced that confidence, the gradual building of trust through repeated quality exposures is the only sustainable way to develop reader loyalty and this site is building that loyalty in me through patient consistent work consistently.
JohnathanPaymn
Thanks for taking the time to write this, it is clear that some thought went into how each point would land, and after I went through europeelevate I had a better grip on the topic, real value without the usual marketing noise people have to put up with online when searching for answers.

Reading this in a relaxed evening setting was a small pleasure, and a stop at coralmarket extended the pleasant evening reading, content that fits the tone of relaxed time without becoming forgettable is what I look for in evening reading and this site has the right tone for that particular slot in my daily reading routine.

Just want to record that this site is entering my regular reading list, and a look at listaro confirmed it deserves the spot, my regular reading list is short and well curated and adding to it requires meeting a fairly high quality bar that this site has clearly cleared without much effort apparently.
Codypogma
Worth recognising the absence of the usual blog tropes here, and a look at gingerglory continued that fresh quality, sites that avoid the standard moves of the medium read as more original even when the content is on familiar topics and this one has clearly chosen its own path through the conventional terrain skilfully.
Jacehor
Liked that there was nothing performative about the writing, and a stop at jeweldepotcorner continued that genuine quality, performative writing tries to be witnessed rather than read and the difference between performance and substance is huge for the careful reader and this site has clearly chosen substance every time clearly.
OwenRak
Felt a small spark of recognition when the post named something I had been struggling to articulate, and a look at movievault produced more such moments, the rare service of giving readers language for fuzzy intuitions is one of the higher values that good writing can provide and this site offered several today instances.
TonyTof
Liked that the post resisted a sales pitch ending, and a stop at inqora maintained the no pitch approach, content that ends without trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and this site is clearly playing the long game on reader trust.
DominicHox
Started this morning and finished at lunch with a small sense of having spent the time well, and a look at cedarvendor extended that satisfaction into the afternoon, content that fits naturally into the rhythm of a working day rather than demanding a dedicated reading block is increasingly the kind I prefer.
