CONTENTS
Recyclable-94%, Non-recyclable-6%
Some metro cities have transfer stations where some segregation takes
place.
Mainly the informal sector is associated with this and the tail of the
chain is hard to trace.

Current Status of Plastic Waste Management in India
In many cities there is no processing of plastic waste they are dumped in non-
sanitary landfills.
Very few metro cities have developed RDF plants, with initiative by private
companies, for recovery of energy from plastics and other inert waste.
In metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata etc. there are hundreds of units that
recycle nearly 60% of the waste plastics collected and lots of peoples daily
livelihood is dependant on it.
Many of these are registered recyclers and are making profit in good margin.
