Eco India: How can construction waste come handy when building sustainably?

Build, demolish, repeat. It’s a cycle that generates mountains of debris around the world - debris that ends up in landfills - or worse, in the environment. That material actually harbors great recycling potential. India still only reuses a meagre one percent of its construction and demolition waste. Our reporter hit the streets of Delhi to find out why.

Such type of plant should be started in mumbai & thane also

[@malbaproject]

There is one in Thane already. And for many many years the tender for a Mumbai recycling plant has been out. The conditions of the tender are however unsuitable for most plant operators (one such condition being owning the land in Mumbai) which is why it hasn’t happened till now.

New generation being the most responsible ones😌🙏

[@samg7123]

Any municipality must assess1. How much garbage is generated 2 categories of garbage and quantity 3, how to recycle each category and then build facilitied to handle it. Business and revenue model to make it sustainable. And lastly heavy fines for people dumpling waste and audit system to account for garbage so no one throws it out on street

[@vaniaggrawal3625]

Lack of knowledge and the requirement of such things are the main hurdles to carry such environment friendly initiatives

Beautiful process

Good compilation!

[@johnransom1146]

Spray something very traceable on the building being torn down. If it doesn’t come to the depot, you can find it and fine them

[@agrimsinghal7330]

We need concrete debris for our major project. Please suggest some location to collect

[@pravinsmart]

You can collect it when the new parliament building is demolished next year.
