Problematic endorsement

Higher the rank, lower the segregation of waste at source. Is this what the survey is propagating?

MADHYA PRADESH

Waste segregation at source about 45-50% only; about 300-375 tonnes of wet waste treated every day in the centralised waste-to-compost plant in Bhanpura

HARYANA/PUNJAB

Waste collection above 90% but no segregation at source; processing waste-to-refusederived fuel plant at Dadu Majra under legal tangle

DELHI

Segregation at source less than 5%; 1,700 tonnes waste dumped in an unsanitary landfill every day; 1,600 tonnes per day incinerated at a waste-to-energy plant in Okhla amid protest for causing pollution

UTTAR PRADESH

No waste segregation and processing; has ensured only door-to-door garbage collection

KERALA

85% segregation at source; single-use plastics banned; decentralised waste management in all 52 wards; most wet waste processing done in situ
