Day by day the population of the Mumbai is increasing, as per the 2011 census it has touched 1.25 Cr. Being a Metro City almost 50 to 60 Lacs of people visit the city everyday. As such the amount of waste unloaded at the Dumping Ground is touching 8000 MT per day. It has become mammoth task for MCGM to process all the waste at dumping grounds. Being a coastal city there are limitations for MCGM to acquire & utilise the land for Waste Processing. Incidentally cognisance of this problem which is truly intimidating all urban layouts has been taken at highest level. To mitigate this issue new MSW 2016 rules have been devised & enforced.
As per MSW 2016 rules it has become mandatory for all the bulk generators to segregate & process the waste at source. In confirmity of the said rules MCGM has made all the bulk waste generators to increase the level of segregation & process their waste at source.However there is not enough know how about the processes & methods to be adapted for the Waste Segregation & Waste Processing.
Earlier in this matter an exhibition was arranged by MCGM in K/E ward to showcase the success stories of the citizens & societies in the field of waste management & to introduce various technics available in the market. The exhibition was a grand success.
Inspired by this overwhelming response, it is now decided to arrange a City Level Exhibition.in the first week of September at NSCI Campus, Worli. It is expected that most of the technology providers, NGOs working in this area will be participating in the exhibition. Some of the Housing Societies practicing composting & other waste management processes will also showcase their expertise.
This event can be a major breakthrough for companies / firms working in this field. They can participate in the exhibition by paying a nominal registration fee.
Interested companies / firms are requested to book their space in advance so as to avoid last minute rush. We have deputed our offices to manage the event. All prospective participants are requested to contact them. The details are as mentioned below.
