CONCEPT CRADLE TO GRAVE IN INDIA

HISTORY  In 2009, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) released a report that provided a
national inventory of industries producing hazardous waste, as well as a review of hazardous waste
management in India. The report was based on information provided from state pollution control
boards (SPCBs) and pollution control committees (PCCs) for the years 2007 to 2008. That report found
that there was a total of 36,165 industries generating hazardous waste in India, and that those
industries produce a total of 6,232,507 metric tons of hazardous waste each year.

INFORMATION 

- Most hazardous waste in India are generated by highly polluting industries that fall into 17
major categories (pags 7-8)
- India has ‘over 200 laws relating to environmental protection’ including several laws relating to
hazardous waste management
- The Hazardous Wastes Rules (2008) are the primary regulations addressing the management of
hazardous waste in India. These rules were established under Environment Protection Act (EPA)

A hazardous waste manifest must accompany most hazardous waste that is shipped
offsite. A “Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest” is the document that accompanies
hazardous waste from the point of generation until it reaches the TSDF. Each party in
the chain of transport must sign and keep one copy of the manifest. The process is as
follows:
 The occupier (generator) must prepare six copies of the manifest, all of which must be
signed by the transporter.
 The occupier must forward copy 1 (white) to the SPCB of the state in which the waste
was generated and, where the hazardous wastes are likely to be transported through a
state,
 the occupier must prepare an additional copy for that state and forward it to the
relevant SPCB before the waste is turned over to the transporter.
The occupier keeps Copy 2 (yellow).
 No transporter can accept hazardous wastes from an occupier unless it is accompanied
by copies 3 to 6 of the manifest.
 The transporter must provide copies 3 to 6 of the manifest to the TSDF operator.
After it accepts the waste, the TSDF operator will return copy 4 (orange) to the
transporter.
 After the hazardous waste is treated and disposed, the operator of the TSDF must
forward copy 5 (green) to the SPCB and copy 6 (blue) to the occupier. Copy 3 (pink) is
retained by the TSDF operator.
