The Delhi State Industrial Development Corporation (DSIDC) is planning to use plastic waste to construct roads in the city. Times of India reports that iIt is also planning a host of measures to protect city‘‘s environment. The DSIDC managing director Jalaj Shrivastava announced that a proposed joint venture will combine state-of-the-art road longevity technology with city‘‘s compulsions for management of non-biodegradable plastic waste, so as to promote a cleaner and greener Delhi.
The DSIDC is planning a 15-acre Ecological Park and a 200-acre Knowledge Park.

Waste management poses challenges, but could unlock major environmental and economic gains
Every day, the city of Rio de Janeiro, one of the largest metropolises in the Southern Hemisphere, generates 17,000 tonnes of waste, ranging from large industrial debris to candy wrappers bought innocently at newspaper stands. While this waste presents a serious and urgent environmental challenge, it also fuels an increasingly significant portion of the economy, with benefits extending beyond financial gains. - When we look at developed European countries, many are already recycling between 40% and 50%, with some reaching 60%.

I believe it will be necessary to review contracts, create performance-based remuneration mechanisms, and pay for both effectively sorted materials and those diverted from landfills - he added. According to the IBGE, 60.5% of Brazilian municipalities adopt some form of selective waste collection, and several initiatives serve as examples of how to manage city waste. In his panel presentation, Bernardo Ornelas, Project Coordinator at the Rio de Janeiro Municipal Urban Cleaning Company (Comlurb), highlighted Ecoparque do Caju, a national benchmark in waste management and recycling.
