Health Magazine

“Waste is not what it seems like, your waste can be a useful product for someone else. People are very reluctant on waste management. We have made this whole concept very innovative and scientific to change the mindset of people.”
Chandan Hait (Founder, Shuddh Sustainable Solutions)

Have you ever taken another and longer route to reach the main road? Certainly Yes! The stench of rotting and perished wastes and the rats & stray dogs roaming around forces us to divert from the habitual route we take. This is not new. The corners of Indian roads and cities are packed with heaps of garbage and overflowing bins. 

Currently, as per government estimations, about 65 million tonnes of waste is generated annually in India, and over 62 million tonnes of waste is Municipal Solid Waste which comprises plastic material, wood, organic waste, and recyclable materials like paper. By 2031, MSW is expected to increase to 165 million tonnes and even further up to a shocking 436 million tonnes by 2025.

The situation is worsening. India’s population is set to cross the one billion mark. Other disturbing factors like unplanned development, urbanization are contributing to exacerbating the prevailing condition. Moreover, the kind of garbage and waste being disposed of is also undergoing a noticeable transformation due to the increased use of electronic equipment and gadgets.

Waste management is essentially becoming an obligatory duty and the need of the hour but moving towards sustainable waste management requires deep-rooted efforts to bring a change in the society. Chandan Hait, a certified Environment, health, and safety professional was ready to begin his exciting and inspirational journey. His enthusiasm and passion for making Earth a beautiful place again led to the creation of one of the renowned waste management companies, Shuddh Sustainable Solutions in 2015. He believes that waste management is not a technology or a method, it is a “Thought” that has to be embraced. It’s a matter of believing not adopting.
