“In the future, not only in the city, but the waste of all areas will have to be treated. By collecting waste, fertilizer production will begin at both government and private initiatives,” he said adding, “Why should we import quality fertiliser from waste? Fertiliser import will decrease if production of fertiliser from waste starts. This will save us a lot of foreign exchange.”

The formulation of the National Waste Management Framework was given priority in the 100 working days program of the Ministry of Environment, he said.

“We are working on solid waste initially. Human waste, tannery waste, e-waste, medical waste will also be managed gradually. Initiatives will also be taken to recycle single use plastic. Considering the future needs, plan for waste management will be rtaken by identifying the site and acquiring the land,” he added.
