7 Classification of Labeling and Packaging rules Road Ahead (Contd.) Procedure for handling of Hazardous waste on the basis of authorization Procedural simplification - Single permission for processes Stringent environmental compliance - SOP & guidelines based approach for permission Transboundary movement procedure for HW for recycling purpose Simplification of process of import /export of waste The import of metal scrap, paper waste & various categories of EEE for re-use purpose - exempted from need of Ministry s permission Prohibited list for import now include plastic scrap, household waste, critical care medical equipment, tyre for direct re-use, waste EEE, medical waste.

8 Schedules providing list of HW generating industries and concentration of Hazardous waste as per international best practices. Inter-state movement of waste on the basis of manifest system Hazardous and other Wastes ( Management and Transboundary Movement) rules ,2016 Back EPR forms crux of the rules Target based approach Flexibility for implementation of EPR - PRO, e-waste exchange, e-retailer, Deposit Refund as additional channels Collection mechanism approach to replace collection centre - a business model Pan India EPR Authorization of Producers by CPCB Inbuilt - Authorization of Collection centres in EPR Exemption for micro sector as defined in MSME Act Bulk Consumer - based on turnover & number of employees CFL & other mercury containing lamps in ambit Procedural simplification - Single permission for processes Stringent environmental compliance - SOP & guidelines based approach

9 For permission E-Waste ( Management & Transboundary Movement) rules , 2016 Back Cover all Health Care Facilities (HCFs) irrespective of the medical system, simplify the categorisation and treatment of bio-medical wastes introduce new technologies for disposal, introduce bar-coding for packaging and labeling of waste to eliminate pilferage on the way of transportation; mandates phasing out use of chlorinated plastic bags, gloves and blood bags within two years; introduce stringent standards for emission from Incinerator (reduction of permissible limit for particulate matter, introduction of standards for Dioxin and Furans and increasing the residence time in the Incinerator Chambers Bio-Medical Waste Management rules , 2016 Back Jurisdiction extended emphasises source segregation, reuse, recycle and recovery enable local bodies to collect User Fee and levy Spot Fine , separate regime of disposal of diapers and sanitary napkins.)

10 Bulk generators to have composting promotion of city compost marketing; enable bringing policy on waste to energy; integration of Rag pickers, Kabadiwallas and Self Help Groups etc. in waste collection system; SEZ to earmark at least 5% of the total area of the plot or minimum 5 plots/ sheds for recovery and recycling facility. Solid waste Management rules , 2016 Back Jurisdiction extended to cover rural areas; minimum thickness of plastic carry bags increased from 40 to 50 microns; minimum thickness of 50 micron imposed for plastic sheet
