Waste management in Kerala

We,humans always urge to get back to nature. Ourself being a part of nature,over time we ourself started destroying its beauty and serenity. To make this world more comfortable, we started destroying the green around us. We rather made it into a threatening place for other living beings-both flora and fauna.

While we were building our own better nests, we forgot to clean and protect the Mother Nature. With the innovations and technologies , came the menace of waste. For our fuel extractions and productions,we started intruding into natural resources through which we  have not only exploited the world but also dumped it with toxic waste.

Even small cities and towns are finding it hard to dispose waste. With depletion of land, the encroachment of natural resources became a major concern. Waste and waste management is an area which needs much attention. It is also important to indulge into the scenario with the help of market research or surveys to build in a permanent solution.

Waste disposal and management is an area which needs more practical methodologies and technologies. This could be engineered with much precision with the help of a market research among the public and authoritative bodies. The current scenario is depressing. The entire system is not bringing and end to end solution to the primary cause of waste.Increasing Plastic waste generation is a serious concern to the entire mankind.

Based on a study conducted by True Code  in Kochi, it is found that households ,industries and the government entities are finding it hard to find a solid solution for waste disposal. From the research it is found that, with all land to construction and concrete jungle everywhere,households are left with no land even for the disposal of biodegradable waste. Corporation is also having a laid back attitude to the issue ; until and unless an environmental issue arises. The agents are also irregular in the procedure of waste collection. Further,  dumping waste it to an open area  by the agents and corporation mechanism is only adding up to the waste issue in the city. Such disposal into nature is turning into a root cause for harmful ecological imbalances and environmental concerns with severe health issues.

From the market study conducted, a single solution to even manage waste disposal at the household level is of much importance. With the right technology and right mechanism, people are willing to join with the authorities to tackle this fatal issue. Thus, it is a necessity to deal this waste menace to make this world a better place even for future generations.
