India Needs Alignment for Circular Waste Management

India is trying to improve how it handles waste, aiming for a circular system.

This means reusing materials instead of throwing them away.

A key challenge is getting everyone on the same page, from the government to businesses and people.

Right now, companies often bid on waste solutions at very low prices, and there aren't enough checks to make sure they can do the job.

Companies should follow through on their ESG (environmental, social, and governance) standards.

Awareness about recycling should start early in life, with sustainability education in schools.

Some companies, like the Luthra Group, are already finding ways to recycle hazardous materials, such as turning them into fuel.
