Initiatives

The Government of Gujarat has constituted a Nodal Agency, Gujarat Urban Development Company Ltd(GUDC) for the development of infrastructure for treatment, transportation and disposal

As of now, there are 159 Nagarpalikas, 8 Municipal Corporations, 4 Notified Areas and 1 Urban DevelopmentAuthority in the State of Gujarat

The concept of common secured landfills is adopted for the treatment and disposal of the Municipal SolidWaste generated in the towns and cities

The GUDC has divided Gujarat into four different regions and identified 28 clusters for Regional Landfill sitefor different local bodies located in Gujarat

GUDC has constructed 93 vermi compost plants out of that 86 vermi compost plants are in operation and 7vermi compost plants are under construction/ at commissioning stage

All the municipal authorities are required to arrange for collection, segregation, transportation andsuitable disposal of municipal wastes from the municipal towns/cities according to the MSW (M & H)Rules 2000

Co-processing

The use of waste as raw material,or as a source of energy, or bothto replace natural mineralresources (material recycling) andfossil fuels in industrial processes

Provides an environmentallysound resource recovery optionand does not hamper wastereduction efforts

• GPCB has drawn attention specially towardsMunicipal Corporations/Local bodies

• State level meetings have been organized toboost up the co-processing of Municipal SolidWaste (MSW/RDF) in Cement Kilns

• Co-process waste as alternate fuel/rawmaterial to reinforce its competitiveness andto contribute to solutions to society's wasteproblem and is beneficial to the Environment

Maximize the resources recovery in the waste

Reduce the economical burden along with savings of naturalresources as waste gets consumed for energy recovery and assupplementary resource

Reduce the health hazard associated with the disposal of hazardouswaste

Helps society for sustainable Eco-Environmental development byusing waste as supplementary resource and alternative fuel
