56 3R Gap Analysis and Findings TECHNOLOGY GAPS Waste Management has been the foremost issue for local administration bodies in the country. Continuously increasing quantities and inconsistent composition of the waste are some of the barriers to the effective implementation of management practices. However, it is widely believed that applying appropriate technologies can result in effective solutions to the crisis. In this context, the table below presents the status of technologies currently used in India, with a special focus on 3Rs in urban municipal, healthcare and e-waste. MANAGEMENT ASPECTS With a vast and diverse nature of State and Central Governments, it is essential that the right management measures are taken to collect, treat and dispose waste in an TECHNOLOGY STATUS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF 3R IN INDIA Waste Category Urban Municipal Waste E-Waste Healthcare Waste Formal, Strong Formal but weak Technology Thermal Recovery Fuel Recovery Material Recovery Sorting Pulverizing Composting Incineration Collection Material Recovery Sorting Pulverizing Collection Material Recovery Sorting Pulverizing Incineration Collection Informal, Weak Informal but Strong environmentally friendly way. In a federal setup adopted by India, proactive polices are key to the effective implementation of any result-oriented program. Waste management is no exception to this. Though various measures are currently being taken-up by the relevant ministries, it is important that the 3R principles be integrated into these to make the reach wider. An overview of present policy, legislative and other management measures in India with a 3R perspective as a means of solving the waste management crisis is presented in the adjacent Table.
