PERSPECTIVES
"Waste Recycling – Time to Realise the Potential" by Dr Soumen Maity (Assistant Vice President, DA)
Countries like Germany, Austria, South Korea and Wales recycle more than 50% of their waste. In India, a mindset shift is required. People need to understand that it is their responsibility to manage the waste they produce. If waste is segregated at source, there is much better recovery of recyclable waste and more than 80 percent of the waste can be composted or recycled.
