industries, Thermal Power etc.,) (score 60 and above)

Orange : Medium Pollution potential (i.e., Cotton spinning &

weaving, Formulations etc.,) (Score from 41 to 59)

Green : Less pollution potential (i.e., Bakery, DG Sets, Medical

Oxygen, Rubber goods, Ready mix cement concrete

etc.,) (Score from 21 to 40)

White : Very less pollution industries (i.e., Biofertilizer and bio

pesticides without using inorganic chemicals, solar

power generation, Wind power etc.,) (Score Upto 20)

66 Categories: Some industries are categorised as 66 category of

BIO-MEDICAL WASTE MANAGEMENT

• Bio Medical Waste Management Rules, 2016 were issued to

deal with Bio Medical Waste generated in HCFs during the

diagnosis, treatment or immunisation of human beings or in

research activities.

• There are 10,225 Health Care Facilities (HCFs) with bed

strength of 1,41,916.

• The Bio Medical waste is transported to Common Bio Medical

Waste Treatment Facility (CBMWTF) for incineration. There

are 12 common facilities operation in 13 districts of the state.

• CBMWTFs are in operation in all the districts individually

except in Vizianagaram & Kadapa districts due to less

number of HCFs / Beds.

• About 15 TPD of Bio Medical Waste is being treated in

common facilities.32


HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT

33

The generation of hazardous waste from 2648 industries is as follows (Perannum)

• Land fillable:1,58,364.459 TPA

• Incinerable: 4287.0879 TPA

• Recyclable: 1,16,246.344 TPA

• Utilizable: 3,42,054.1586 TPA

During April,20 & Nov, 2020 – 92,292 Tons of Landfill waste and 947.283Tons of Incinerable waste is disposed.

SCIENTIFIC DISPOSAL OF HAZARDOUS WASTE

• Reuse / recycling

• Recovery of by products

• Co-Processing in cement plants

• Land filling

• Incineration


CO-PROCESSING OF HAZARDOUS WASTE

• Earlier, organic residues generated from Bulk Drugs &Pharmaceuticals units were incinerated wasting the heat value ofthe Hazardous waste.

• By opting Cleaner Production technologies the high calorific value ofHW is co-processed in cement kilns and the fossil fuels being burntare saved.

• APPCB is encouraging co- processing in cement plants where thewaste is used as alternate fuel / energy source in cement plant.

• Quantity Of Hazardous Waste co-processed in 8 No. of. CementPlants.

35

• The MoEF, GoI issued notification dated 23rd March 2016 on e-Waste (Management) Rules, 2016 and these Rules came intoeffect from 1st October, 2016.

• These rules were issued under the provisions of E(P) Act, 1986.

• CPCB issued Guidelines for implementation of the e-WasteRules, 2016.

• These Rules shall apply to every Producer, Consumer or BulkConsumer, collection center, dismantler & recycler involved inthe manufacture, sale, purchase and processing of Electrical andElectronic Equipments (EEEs).

• The generation of e-waste is about 550 TPA and is beingcollected by e-waste collection centre operated by privateagency (i.e Green Waves) in Visakhapatnam which is sent torecycling facility at Bangalore.

use as raw material or as alternative fuel viz. Co-processing in Cement Plants

so as to conserve the resources, 1.16 Lakh tones is recyclable (18.68%) i.e.,

suitable for recycling /recovery of material viz. oil reclamation units, lead and

zinc recovery units, 0.046 lakh tonnes is incinerable (0.74%) i.e., not suitable

for any recycling / reuse and having high calorific value i.e. > 2500 K cal/kg

and 1.58 lakh tones is landfillable (25.44%) i.e. not suitable for any recycling /

reuse and having low calorific value i.e. < 2500 K cal/kg.


37
