2 Structure of Presentation The State of Gujarat Incinerable Hazardous Waste Generation Scenario in India Current Status of Co processing Initiatives by GPCB Challenges to enhance the Co-processing concept Way Forward

3 The State of Gujarat Some Facts Gujarat is one of the 28 states of India. Area : 1,96,024 sq. km Latitude : 20 6' N to 24 42' N north Longitude: 68 10'E to 74 28'E east Population : 60,383,628 souls Capital : Gandhinagar Rainfall: 93.2 cm Coastline: 1600 km Eco System : Ranges from deserts, scrublands, grasslands, deciduous forests, and wetlands to mangroves, coral reefs, estuaries, and gulfs. No of Industries in state : approx.

4 Incinerable Hazardous Waste Generation Scenario in India 6,00,000 5,00,000 All figures are in MTA 5,12,583 4,00,000 3,00,000 2,00,000 1,00, ,000 1,08,622 5,036 1,52,791 23,025 11,145 Ref: White Paper dated 13 th July 13 for amendment of Haz Rules

5 Gujarat pollution Control Board has granted Authorization for co processing of waste to M/s Ambuja Cement M/s Ultratech Cement M/s Sanghi Cement Ltd. M/s. Sidhee Cement Ltd. M/s. Lafarge India (P) limited Chhattisgarh Approx MT of Plastic waste sent for co-processing in a year Authorization accorded to BEIL (Integrated facility) for MTA of liq. waste for co processing at Ambuja Cement

6 Co-Processing in Gujarat: Total Waste Co-processed in MT Waste Co-processed in MT MT Rise MT MT Rise Till March : 1,87,000 MT of waste has been co-processed

7 Initiatives by GPCB Identification of waste disposal problem of cluster Availability of Waste Characterization report Competence report of Cement Plant with respect to Coprocessing (Infrastructure) Regular Review at MS level Assessment of Pre-processing facility for waste generators along with cement plants at various levels Expediting trial run/ regular permission at various level Constituted a committee for permission for co-processing of hazardous waste and other waste in cement plant Sensitization with the top level management of cement industries

8 Directions were given to cement plants for realisation of co processing from < 1% to 10 % within 3 years A web based portal (xgn) has been developed for identifying suitable waste for co-processing to the cement industry On-line tracking system is developed for movement of hazardous waste Organized series of meetings with cement plant and waste generators to enhance co-processing GPCB has conducted series of meetings with local Urban bodies to enhance the rate of co-processing of MSW in various Cement Plants.

9 Suggested Procedure to avoid repeated Authorization: Existing Path Cement Plant Suggested Path Identification of Waste & Waste generator Identification of waste for which trail run already accorded Apply in Annexure 7 Develop facility for coprocessing of above indentified waste Trial Run required Apply in Annexure 7 to GPCB Yes, Undertake Trail Run Submit Trail Run Report No, If trial run already conducted Recommendation to CPCB for regular permission Regular Permission accorded by CPCB Recommendation to CPCB for regular permission Authorization accorded by GPCB Regular Permission accorded by CPCB Authorization accorded by GPCB Cement Plants gets: Avoid repeat ammendment in Authorization Increase in Competence Ease in adoption of concept Result in HIGH Rate of Co-Processing Cement Industry Identification of Waste generator Ammendment in Authorization of Generator Waste Generator Cement Industry

10 Challenges to enhance the Co-processing Frequent permissions for different wastes Lack of adequate Online Tracking system for HAZ-Waste for co-processing. Identification of Generator of waste by Cement Industry in Initial stage. Development of Common Collection cum Pre-Processing Facility. Lack of technology to monitor online, all emission parameters. Lack of adequate technology for pre-processing for HAZ- Waste in industrial cluster for co-processing. Lengthy procedure for permission even when MS GPCB took follow up action

11 Clause 10.7 : For Non Hazardous Substance like plastic waste, tyre chips etc. Similar procedure may be followed both for trial run and regular permission by SPCB/PCC. The permission granted by SPCB/PCC will be endorsed to CPCB along with trial run report for reference. In case SPCB/PCC desires any clarification, the same may be referred to CPCB. The Trial run for the Non Hazardous waste may be waived off as: 1. Conducting Trial Run is costly & time consuming affair 2. Small generators are not capable to afford the same 3. Illegal disposal of Non Hazardous Waste would be reduced

12 Way Forward Efforts are being made to amend HWR (M,H,TM), 2008 for giving legal status to co-processing. The Emission Standards for Co-processing of waste in cement plants are being framed. Target to achieve co-processing of HAZ- Waste in cement kiln to atleast 25% in two years. To encourage the pre-processing facilities in hazardous waste generating industrial clusters. Encouraging segregation facilities of MSW for co-processing for preparation of RDF Sector wise and region wise meetings are on way to use hazardous waste for co processing

13 Waste exchange Banks / Collection Centers to provide information on wastes Technological aspects need to be promoted so as to conserve the fuel as well utilization of waste as resource The issue of interstate movement of hazardous waste should be addressed in a national way To identify new sectors and it s waste generators to link up with cement industries To study the effect of co-incineration on the health of employees/workers in cement plant.
