NITI Aayog – UNDP Launch Handbook on Sustainable Management of Plastic Waste for ULB’s
The report, titled ‘NITI Aayog-UNDP Handbook on Sustainable Urban Plastic Waste Management’, was released on 11th October, 2021 by NITI Aayog Vice Chairperson Dr Rajiv Kumar
The report has been jointly developed by UNDP India and NITI Aayog, in consultation with eminent experts and leading organizations in the domain of plastic waste.
”Sustainable Urban Plastic Waste Management: Summary
Urban local bodies (ULBs) are mandated under the Municipal Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016, and the Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016, to manage municipal solid waste and plastic waste at the city level.
The handbook is a repository of 18 case studies/best practices from India, including 4 from south Asian countries divided into four major components, including
a) Technical models for recycling,
b) Material Recovery Facilities (MRF),
c) Governance for effective plastic waste management, and
d) IEC and Digitization.
The book covers every aspect of the entire plastic waste management service chain and will enable Urban Local Bodies and other stakeholders involved in the sector to learn from the successful business and service models covered under this handbook to plan for efficient plastic waste management in their cities according to their requirements and guidelines.
Component I: Technical model for plastic waste recycling and management
This component based on an integrated and inclusive approach by involving different stakeholders and their social benefits, covers,
a) Development of a baseline system of plastic waste management at the city level ,
b) Systems approach for promoting recycling of plastic waste at the city level,
c) Stakeholder identification and partnerships,
d) Development of regulatory need-gap analysis and proposals for the holistic management of plastic waste
Component II: Material Recovery Facility – For improved plastic waste management implementation
- This component explains the complete functioning of a material recovery facility (MRF), beginning from site identification, construction and waste processing mechanisms at the MRF.
Component III: Institutionalization of MRFs in governance bodies
- The mainstreaming of waste pickers in the plastic waste management system would result in improved socio-economic conditions for waste pickers and increased recognition in society. This requires the institutionalization of various recommended models and waste pickers by ULBs for long-term sustainability. Some of the major activities are linking services of the waste pickers with MRFs, capacity building, making them financially literate and opening bank accounts for them, linking them to various social protection schemes, providing occupational ID cards, health benefits and personal protective equipment while working, providing facilities like creches or play areas and other basic child education facilities, and creating self-help groups.
Component IV: IEC and Digitalization
- This component includes the development of knowledge management mechanisms by establishing an in-built adoptive feedback system from different stages of plastic waste value chain. It also involves the identification of various technology platforms, or technical service providers, linkages with relevant stakeholders such as bulk waste generators (BWGs), recyclers and waste pickers, and the development of protocols for more effective online reporting, monitoring and information exchange.
