About — Solid Waste Management Rules 2026
The Solid Waste Management Rules 2026 are a nationwide regulatory framework that mandates segregation, collection, and scientific processing of municipal waste to curb environmental pollution. They empower local bodies to enforce extended producer responsibility, aiming to achieve 70 % recycling of plastic waste by 2030. For example, Delhi’s waste‑to‑energy plants must now meet a 30 % calorific‑value target.
