Waste management in India is an umbrella term that includes plastic waste management and environmental sustainability. Recently HCCB pulled off a plastic waste management initiative in Goa, where safaii mitras or waste pickers were incentivized to bring plastic to the waste collection centre. In another initiative, as much as 10 wards in Mumbai were adopted by HCCB for recycling plastic, where several new types of products were made from the recycled plastic, like benches, t-shirts, waste paper bins, containers, sports goods etc. Both initiatives aim at removing as many as several tons worth of plastic waste from the streets every day.
