• The waste sector has experienced greater penetration of information technology in management practices over the past few years. Urban local bodies (ULBs) have deployed new technologies such as smart bins, GPS-trackers for garbage pickup trucks, sensors, flow meters and SCADA control systems for better asset management and service delivery. Bigger cities such as Delhi, Ahmedabad, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad and Bengaluru have successfully deployed smart waste management infrastructure. Meanwhile, smaller cities such as Indore, Bhopal and Surat have also started to show rapid improvements in waste management parameters.
• Industrial units too are shifting to advanced membrane-based technologies to improve effluent treatment capabilities, reduce dependence on freshwater resources, and manage operational costs.
• Further, greater emphasis is being laid on door-to-door waste collection, waste segregation at source, decentralised wastewater treatment, waste-to-energy (WtE), and recycle and reuse of waste. Increased private sector participation in O&M, transportation and treatment has resulted in better efficiency in operations and reduction in revenue losses. New projects and capacities are also being added under various government programmes.
• The waste sector is gradually moving towards automation. More advanced technologies such as internet of things, big data, artificial intelligence and machine learning are set to reduce human interference in operations and asset management.
• Going forward, waste generation levels are expected to more than double to 165 million tonnes by 2030. Also, the volume of liquid waste generation will reach 100 billion litres per day by 2030. To cater to this growth in waste generation, huge investments will be required for scaling up infrastructure, improving ULB capacity and service delivery, asset maintenance, technology penetration and automation. While the sector is seeing some improvement, the pace of change needs to be accelerated. To bring about a major shift, there is a need to address issues such as the inadequate waste collection and segregation, financial constraints, shortage of skilled manpower, lack of proper planning by the authorities, poor enforcement of rules and low awareness among citizens.
• The mission of this conference is to examine the state of waste management in India, analyse new and emerging needs, discuss the role of digitalisation and automation, and highlight the near and medium-term outlook and opportunities in the waste management sector. The conference will provide a platform to showcase recent advancements and innovations in technology and equipment.
