Compliance & accountability

Designed to support the processing responsibilities.

Our proposed facilities are being developed around India's Solid Waste Management Rules, 2026, with site-specific assessment, environmental controls and traceable operating records.

The regulatory context

Solid Waste Management Rules, 2026.

The Rules were notified on 27 January 2026 and took effect on 1 April 2026, replacing the 2016 Rules. They set responsibilities for waste generators, local bodies, processors and other participants.

Key requirements include four-stream segregation at source, environmentally sound processing, facility registration and reporting, and restrictions on landfill disposal. Bulk waste generators have specific processing responsibilities; on-site wet-waste treatment should be pursued as far as possible.

Official references: MoEFCC announcement of the 2026 Rules and MoEFCC parliamentary confirmation of the effective date.

How the design responds

Controls from waste reception to the final residue.

Segregation & acceptance

Retain the four-stream approach: wet, dry, sanitary and special-care waste. Materials requiring separate authorised treatment stay on their appropriate routes.

Controlled processing

Enclosed aerobic treatment, biofiltered air and contained process-water management support the environmental objectives of the proposed facility.

Traceable materials

Weighbridge records and material tracking help establish what was received, processed, recovered and sent for authorised disposal.

Monitored pods

Records of oxygen, temperature and airflow provide an operating basis for checking that organic treatment remains aerobic.

Quality & residual routes

Testing supports appropriate use of recovered products; residuals requiring disposal must use suitable authorised facilities.

Site-specific approvals

Land use, buffer zones, registration, pollution-control consents and other applicable approvals are assessed for each project.

Performance with a clear basis

Targets to be measured and validated.

The 100 TPD figure describes the proposed integrated facility capacity. Over 90% landfill diversion and zero untreated leachate discharge are design targets, not reported operating results from an Indian pod facility.

Actual performance depends on waste composition, segregation, operating conditions, recovered-product quality and suitable downstream routes. Commissioning and operation must establish the achieved outcomes.

Supporting compliance is a design objective. A project must still obtain and maintain the approvals applicable to its location, process and waste streams.
