siliconindia | | March 20204`Do Not Litter', `Do Not Throw Garbage' or `Use the Dustbin', numerous such instructions can be seen at every nook and corner of our country, and I am sure we all would agree to this. With over 377 million urban people living in 7,935 towns and cities, there is approx 62 million tonnes of municipal solid waste generated per annum, out of which only 43 million tonnes (MT) of the waste is collected, 11.9 MT is treated and almost 31 MT is dumped in landfill sites, simply without proper processing or treatment. By 2025, India's waste management sector is expected to be worth US$13.62 billion with an annual growth rate of 7.17 percent. With the increasing population in India, waste generation has soared terribly over the past few decades, and with growing waste, the need for waste management has become more important than ever before. From building toilets to encouraging cleanliness through the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, the Modi government has time and again grabbed people's attention and support for the right cause. Indian government's flagship program to deal with waste collection and its effective management, Swachh Bharat Initiative is expected to provide immense growth opportunities to various upcoming firms that are focusing on providing innovative solutions. Also, Indian garbage is expected to offer a business opportunity of USD 14 billion by 2025, unlocking new business avenues in the waste treatment industry.
