 Introduction
Biodegradable Waste
Substances that are broken
down by biological processes
are said to be biodegradable.
Decomposition of
garbage or waste
material by living
organisms or biological
processes is called
Non-Biodegradable Waste
Biodegradation
While substances that are not
broken down by this process are
non-biodegradable.
PROBLEMS
The world generates 2.01 billion tonnes of municipal
solid waste annually, with at least 33 percent of that—
extremely conservatively—not managed in an
environmentally safe manner.

India generates 62 million tonnes of waste each year.

About 43 million tonnes (70%) are collected, of which
about 12 million tonnes are treated, and 31 million
tonnes are dumped in landfill sites.

It is estimated that India generated 1.975 million

tonnes of e-waste in 2016 or approximately 1.5 kg
of e-waste per capita.

Tuberculosis, pneumonia, diarrhoea, tetanus,

whooping cough etc. are common diseases spread
due to improper waste management.
 SURVEYS

Approximately the ratio of

waste produced and
wasted is 5:4.
