Therefore, it has become a matter of international concern to have an efficient waste management and countries have set up vigorous management regimes for regulating waste for the purpose of balancing the object of environment sustainability and development. The National Environment Policy, 2006 in India, has suggested measures for controlling different forms of environmental pollution and also emphasise on the requirement for collection of the waste and treatment systems for recycling those wastes and framing measures for disposal of residues which must be environmentally safe.
