Kolkata Solid Waste Management Improvement Project
This waste management project in India is promoting appropriate municipal solid waste management by developing a management system, including segregation, collection, and raising awareness of the 3R (reduce, reuse and recycle) concept. As a result, the project effectively reduces the amount of waste and improves sanitary conditions as well as CH4 emissions from landfill.
