Green Horizons: Pioneering Sustainable Waste Management Trends in 2024. Some of the Key trends shaping the waste management landscape with Circular Economy Initiatives are as follows: 

  • Companies increasingly embrace principles that prioritize the reduction of waste through reusing and recycling materials. Year on year there should be an increase in percent of more utilization of recycle materials and minimize the waste generation.
  • Companies are focusing on sustainable product design, thus creating durable and recyclable items that have an extended lifespan and can seamlessly re-enter the production cycle. 
  • Businesses are adopting innovative strategies such as offering products as a service or implementing take-back schemes. 

Advanced Recycling Technologies: 

  • Innovations in recycling technologies are gaining momentum. 
  • AI-powered sorting systems will make recycling more accessible, cost-effective and much simpler in sorting the things or items
  • Advancements to leverage robotics, AI, and state-of-the-art sensors will replace manual sorting. 
  • Using tools like near-infrared (NIR) and hyperspectral imaging to discern materials ensures accurate segregation.

Smart Waste Management: 

  • Integration of IoT (Internet of Things) solutions into waste management systems, providing real-time monitoring and data analytics. 
  • Smart bins, sensors, and connected platforms optimize waste collection routes and reduce operational costs.

Biodegradable Packaging Revolution: 

  • Demand for eco-friendly packaging materials will be soaring in 2024. 
  • Surge in biodegradable packaging options.

Community Engagement and Education: 

  • Integration of Community engagement and education programs to waste management strategies. 
  • Empower individuals to make environmentally conscious choices and participate in waste reduction efforts. 

E-waste Management Solutions: 

  • Increased emphasis on responsibly recycling electronic waste, including recovering valuable materials from discarded devices. 

Government Policies Driving Change: 

  • Implementation and strengthening of policies globally to promote sustainable waste management practices. 
  • Stringent recycling standards to extended producer responsibility (EPR) regulations will shape the future of waste management. 

Surge in Mergers among Waster Removal Businesses:  

  • Rise of Mergers and acquisitions within the waste management sector.
  • Merged entities can set industry standards and champion progressive environmental policies effectively.

Big Role of Big Data:

  • With challenges intensifying, data-driven insights are crucial to optimizing operations. 
  • Real-time analysis of metrics, from collection routes to recycling rates, enhances coordination among municipal bodies, waste collectors, and recycling centres.
  • Enabling forecasting of waste generation using Predictive analysis will promote efficient collection strategies. 
  • Real-time tracking ensures that waste is directed to facilities equipped to handle it most effectively, thereby optimizing resources.
With the above, we can create certain positive impact in our surroundings and the environment which will eventually minimizes the carbon emission and reduction in different pollution that are affecting directly or indirectly at global scale.

Solar panels installed on the roof with a capacity of 11.5 MW in Punjab state in India India’s solar mission which has kept at a target of 175 GW and the government is trying to keep its word to generate power from all kinds of Renewable Energy Resources. As it is focused on Solar, Wind and Biomass power generation technologies. We all know that a roof is the zero cost of land and uses the space for solar panel installation. There is no requirement of a special setup is installing the solar roof. Depending upon the roof size and shading and direction of the sunlight is considered for setting up the solar panels. But, most of them have small or medium roofs that can generate in kiloWatts (kW) or Megawatt (MW) scale. In Amritsar, there is an installation od 11.5 MW capacity of a solar power plant which is completely covered with solar roof which will benefit 8000 households was built by Radha Saomi Satsang Beas (RSSB), a religious organization in Punjab.

In most of the western countries and developing countries are launching the new concept called the “ Recycling Malls ” in major cities and towns across their countries. The main objective of the recycle mart is to sell the used products (ex: used plastic, glass, paper, etc.). This is an innovative way of making things and helping in reducing environmental pollution in the surroundings across the globe.   There are different kinds of pollutions that are generated effecting Air, Water, Land, Food, Sea, Ocean pollutions. It is damaging the EARTH gradually and impacting directly and indirectly that are highly toxic and increase the scope of new harmful viruses etc.   Issue: Wastes are different types that are generated in the world which is mostly produced by man. Anything that is produced excess and unable to control is added into pollutant list. The recycling plants are getting adopted across the globe with different techniques, methodologies and Strategic ways in collection

The Indian government has kept a target of 175 GW installed capacity using different renewable energy technologies in the country. Currently, the total installed capacity of the country is 367.3 GW of which thermal is 230.72 GW , Nuclear is 6.78 GW , Hydro is 45.4 GW and RE is 84.4 GW as on 31.12.2019. For the month of December 2019 the electricity generated in different power segments is 86.1 BU in thermal, 3.6 BU in Nuclear, 8.9 BU in Hydro and 9.3 BU in RE [1] . Currently, the total renewable installed capacity is 57.472 GW ( 12.5 GW of solar i.e., 21.8% and 32.3 GW of wind i.e., 56.2% ).  Depending upon the current installation frequency, we can forecast whether we can reach the target by 2022 or 2030 . MNRE is exploring with new innovative approach for increasing the capacity of renewable energy in the country and promoting them for the same.

India is witnessing a new chapter in the growth of the renewable sector, mainly in the solar sector. Hence, any new breakthrough in the field of solar cells and solar power generation is beneficial for India. New technology is being developed in the University of Chicago within the confines of its chemistry laboratory by Professor “Luping Yu”. A new kind of solar panel was designed and manufactured which has a higher efficiency when compared with the currently running modules used for power generation. The given polymer solar cell consists of a new polymer, called "PID2". The new polymer improves the efficiency of electrical power generation by 15 per cent when added to a standard polymer-fullerene mixture. New light has been shed on solar power generation using devices made with polymers. Researchers identified a new polymer a type of large molecule that forms plastics and other familiar materials which improved the efficiency of solar cells. The group also determined th

The renewable energy power market is a platform to buy and sell electricity generated from different renewable resources like solar, wind, hydro, biomass, geothermal, nuclear fusion, etc. These sectors involve various stakeholders like RE developers, utilities, consumers, think tanks, research-consulting, and regulatory bodies. Renewable Energy Power Markets are similar to the regular power markets, with the focus on the renewable regular grid which is gradually converting into a Renewable Energy Grid across the globe. The world "Renewable Foot Prints" is increasing day by day. But still much more to be done with the quantum of the pollution spread and timeline we have. Some of the Renewable Power Markets that support in minimization of carbon emissions with the following platforms are as follows: Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) International RE Trade Performance Achieve Trade (PAT) Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Scope 1, 2 and 3 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs
