  • Abstract:
  • India is faced with a humongous waste management crisis, with growing urban populations generating massive quantities of MSW that are swamping available waste management facilities. Existing practices, characterized by open dumping, poorly designed landfills, and an emerging but suboptimal focus on waste-to-energy incineration, are not merely unsustainable but also potentially environmentally and public health-harmful. These practices cause widespread pollution in the form of highly potent greenhouse gases, such as methane, and ground and topsoil pollution by toxic leachate, as well as the creation of poisonous ash as a by-product of carbonization during incineration. This whitepaper discusses India's worsening waste crisis, summarizes the shortcomings of existing waste management practices, and presents the Aerobic Landfill Biodigester system [1] as a scientifically established, economically viable, and environmentally benign alternative. By accelerating the breakdown of waste in a controlled, oxygen-rich environment, this technology has the potential to rapidly stabilize landfills, limit pollution, and provide India with a sustainable solution for its waste management needs.
