Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT)
and
Waste to Energy Research and Technology Council
(WTERT – India)
Date: 26-27th November 2015,
Venue: Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT), Mumbai, India
WTERT-India was co-founded by the CSIR – National Environmental Engineering Research
Institute (NEERI) and the Earth Engineering Centre (EEC) of Columbia University, New
York and represents India in the Global WTERT Council (GWC). The mission of GWC, of
which WTERT-India is a part, is to identify the best available technologies for the treatment
of various waste materials, conduct additional academic research as required, and disseminate
the information by means of publications, the WTERT’s web pages, and to organise periodic
meetings. The EEC of Columbia University is a Research Group that in the last decade has
published over one hundred Research Papers and Theses on many aspects of energy
conservation and sustainable waste management (www.wtert.org). The guiding principle of
WTERT-India is to evolve effective and responsible strategy for the management of wastes,
based on best available affordable technologies. In particular, WTERT-India is focussing on
assisting government and semi Government bodies and agencies as well as industries in
implementing technologies that reduce the public health impacts of solid waste and increase
the recovery of materials from used solids, by means of recycling and use the material as
source of energy, composting and sanitary landfills with gas utilization.

In the past 3 years, WTERT – India has conducted three International Workshops for
understanding the current challenges about sustainable Solid Waste Management (SWM) in
India. These Workshops discussed challenges faced by Municipal Authorities, Urban Local
Bodies (ULBs), and others in selection of appropriate technologies for SWM. Mostly, factors,
such as waste segregation, easy operation and maintenance strategies for treatment
machineries, valuable products, low manpower and maintenance requirement, etc. are
required to be considered for selection of suitable technology. WTERT – India is also
focusing on understanding the current status of solid and electronic waste management in
industrial areas. India is the second largest populated country and it produces about 4.2 MLT
of industrial waste and about 8.0 lakh MT of E-waste per annum. Mostly, these wastes are
recycled and reused or sent to secured landfill facilities. But, at many instances, these wastes
find its ways to illegal disposal, creating various environmental and health hazards. Hence,
About WTERT:
Overview:
these wastes must be managed scientifically right at the source. Industrial sector produces
various types of wastes ranging from solid to liquid which is often of hazardous nature.
However in this conference, the focus remained within the purview of Industrial and E-waste
Management. Against this backdrop, ICT along with WTERT – India carried out this 4th

the solution for the disposal of hazardous waste such as landfill.
Dr. Vijay Habbu,
Senior Vice President, Reliance Industries Limited.
Dr. Habbu gave an in-depth and illustracious overview of plastic
waste management in India. He explained statistically that plastic
consumption has been increased tremendously over the past few
years in India and around the Globe. The maximum percentage of
plastic is used in the packaging process. He has highlighted the
proposed amendment of new Rules about to be released by
Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change and plastic
waste management. According to his experience, recycling process
should be done in a proper way for which he also described the detail mechanism of recycling
process. During the discussion Prof. A. B. Pandit appreciated the presentation in just one line
as “life cycle analysis of plastic”.
Mr. V.M. Motghare
Joint Director- Air, MPCB, Mumbai.
Dr. Motghare shared an Information Disclosure Program for air
pollution abatement. He underlined the role of public and industries
on industrial pollution. The environmental performance of selected
industries is proposed to be evaluated based on particle emission
per sample and accordingly industries to be classified into five
categories from ‘very poor’ to ‘very good’. Dr. Motghare also
revealed that Maharashtra is one of the most industrialized states in
India and MPCB is taking extensive efforts for air monitoring. Such information’s, he said
are also made available publically. At the end he has explained the detail methodology for
rating and evaluation.
Prof. (Dr.). A. B. Pandit
Dean (SA & HRD), Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai
Prof. Pandit presented his talk on Thermo-economic assessment
of Municipal Solid Waste Treatment Technologies for Mumbai
and insight of Exergy Analysis with relevant calculations. He
began with very interesting example that few weeks ago people
from Bangalore (He has not mentioned exact location) had
blocked the road to stop the dumping material trucks for 4-5 days
to think about some solution of its disposal. He has given the
detail scenario on MSW management in Mumbai. Prof. Pandit
also provided an overview on comparison of MSW composition in India and European
countries. He gave excellent analysis of Indian MSW composition containing huge amount of
moisture because of its non-segregated form. He also discussed new technology for waste
management practices such as incineration, plasma gasification, and land filling based on
their exergy efficiency, and emissions. In conclusion, he expressed his views on MSW
management that instead of land filling which is common practice in India we should look for
thermal of MSW.
Session II: Challenges and Opportunities in Industrial and
Hazardous Waste Management Session Chairman: Mr. R.V. Sonje, Dy. C.E.O. (Env.) & Chief Engineer (HQ),
MIDC, Mumbai.
Dr. Brajesh Kumar Dubey

generation. Dr. Sontakke also focused on the physical and chemical
characteristics of municipal solid waste in Indian cities. He spoke
about new technologies for disposal such as Pyrolysis, Refuse
Drive Fuels, Sanitary landfills, Waste to Energy combustion and
mixed waste composting and briefed about importance of economic survey for various
methods (Landfills, composting etc.).
Mr. Ulhas Parlikar
Director, Geocycle India, ACC Limited, Thane.
Mr. Parlikar spoke on complicated and advanced technology of Cement Kiln Co-processing
for Sustainable Management of Hazardous and Other Wastes. He explained very innovative
concept of co-processing based on the principles of industrial ecology and stands for the
usage/disposal of waste material (as raw materials, as a source of energy or both) in energy
intensive industries. Mr. Parlikar also emphasizes the benefits of co-processing to be used by
industry (such as cement industry) and for handling waste generated at industrial community
centers. He provided an overview on the challenges in sustainability of processes adopted for
Session III: Waste Management Options Session Chairman: Dr. P. D. Vaidya, Associate Professor, ICT
waste management. Finally he expressed the desired changes in
HWM Rules in 2015 such as the hazardous and other wastes to be
qualified for use as a resource of energy or material as per the
guidelines to be issued by CPCB from time to time, hoping that the
waste shall not be disposed of by incineration or land filling.
Mr. K. Srinivasa Rao,
Head of Business Development, India & Subcontinent, Hitachi Zosen India Limited and
Vice President of WTERT-India
Mr. Rao presented his talk on proven practices of Waste
Management for Energy Generation and gave an overview of the
history of recycling waste to produce energy. He gave an account
of worldwide Waste to Energy operational plants which indicated
that the Europe stands top in rank. About an Indian scenario, he
gave an example of Mumbai where there is no change in dumping
site over years. He said in India Waste-to-Energy operations is
always a public nuisance and hence they are not accepted by
public, whereas in country like Zurich 75% population voted for
the extension of the WTE plant in the centre of the city. He also agreed that Zero Waste
Society is impossible if we adopt methods and strategy for 100% recycling. Finally he
explained the financial challenges for construction of such plants, political pressure and risk
to the local community.
Mr. Shripad Khatav
Managing Director, S.S. Techno Pvt. Ltd., Pune.
Mr. Khatav presented his talk on Multiple Effect Evaporators for
zero liquid effluent discharge. He outlined the concept of Zero
Liquid Discharge (ZLD) which means not a single drop of liquid
effluent to be discharge out of industrial premises. The main
advantage of ZLD is total water recycle for water conservation and
disadvantage is requirement of huge cost for its operation. Mr.
Khatav explained very lucidly combination of ZLD with its detail
mechanism. He has also shown the photographic documentation of
various plants with advanced equipments used in ZLD process. He showed few video clips
displaying how the waste water is recycled in the plants and again reused without discharge.
Mr. R. K. Garg
Vice Chairman, Environmental Appraisal Committee,
Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change.
Mr. Garg gave a very systematic account of challenges in e-waste
management. He provided an overview about the categories of e-
waste which included electric and electronic waste generated by
individuals, commercial activities of industrial and service
organizations. He explained that these wastes have adverse impact
on environment and health if not managed properly because of their
chemical nature and toxicity content in the waste. Mr. Garg as he
steers the Government Committee for this subject, discussed that
Government is taking special efforts towards e-waste management and in the process of
framing Rules for its management. He explained the challenges in e-waste management
which included requirement of trained manpower for dismantling and recycling of E-waste,
development of economically viable and environmentally sound processes for recovery,
public awareness etc. In discussion Prof. A. B. Pandit asked the how much tons of waste
processed per day. Mr. Garg replied that its about 7200 MT but only 15 to 20% of it can be
utilising after process.
Session IV: Plastic and e-Waste Management Session Chairman: Prof.(Dr) A. D. Sawant, Former Pro Vice Chancellor, Mumbai
University and VC , University of Rajasthan.
Mr. Anuj Maheshwari
Associate Vice President, Eco Recycling Ltd. (EcoReco), Mumbai.

insight of best practices. He explained that e-waste industry is
fastest growing waste stream. He compared India’s e-waste
production with global waste production and indicated that it will
rapidly increase by 2020. He talked about traditional waste
management system and a glimpse of its unorganized system
which includes rudimentary techniques used by the scrap vendors
not only affects the environment but also their own health. He also
pointed out the way for effective E-waste management ecosystem with effective solutions
which will provide an advantage to kabadies (who collect the waste) by direct source of
income. Mr. Maheshwari explained that there is no training or educational institute in India
which teaches about Waste Management to address this issue, Eco- Reco Institute proposes to
start an Institute of Waste Management to impart training on all the aspects of waste
management.
Prof. Anurag Garg
Associate Professor, CESE, IIT –Mumbai
Prof. Anurag Garg presented his paper on construction &
demolition waste disposal. He gave brief introduction of
construction and demolition (C&D) activities and the waste
generation thereby and its major constituents such as soil, wood,
bricks. He also provided statistical overview on Worldwide
Generation of C&D waste. Prof. Garg pointed out the benefits of
recycling and reuse of C&D waste. He also briefly explained the
Municipal Solid Wastes (Management and Handling) Rules, 2015
highlighting, anticipating waste generator will have to bear the relevant charges for the
collection, transportation, processing, disposal of C&D. Waste and waste generator shall be
entirely responsible for proper segregation, storage and collection of C&D waste. He
concluded that the C&D waste constitute 25% of the total solid waste generated Worldwide
and the most important is that , out of these waste about 95% of it will be recyclable.

Mrs. Jyoti Palekar presented paper on Integrated Industrial Waste
Management - A Roadmap to Sustainable Development. She
explained that integrated industrial waste management practices
encompassed with technological interventions, policy reforms and
behavioural change. She said, the fundamental aim of integrated
industrial waste management is to reduce waste generation and
maximise resource efficiency by promoting sustainable waste
management practices which are environmentally and socially
acceptable and economically advantageous. She also pointed out that under the Corporate
Governance; industries are required to conduct Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). ERM
includes identifying and managing compliance and regulatory risks. Sustainable waste
management practices can mitigate these risks and can generate additional revenue due to
efficient resource and by-product recovery. Process intensifications, equipment
modifications, green chemistry when coupled with conventional waste treatment, recycle and
reuse have changed the economics of waste management. Mrs. Palekar also highlighted the
concept of integrated waste management which is most relevant for CETP operations.
Identifying institutional, financial and infrastructural issues and adopting related policy
changes are recommended in the CETP operation. She gave an example for recycling of
treated wastewater within industries or giving incentives to industries for conserving water
and/ or reducing pollutants. She emphasized that the technological interventions and policy
changes alone cannot bring about the change from traditional waste management approach to
integrated waste management unless the behaviour issues are addressed.
