In the last three years, India’s hazardous waste import spiked 48 per cent. Last year, the developed world dumped 64 lakh tonnes of waste in India, adding to the 59 lakh tonnes produced domestically.
India’s waste disposal industry is one of the world's largest. But less than 5,000 recycling units are registered. Most businesses operate informally, away from any regulation.
There are only 16 firms registered to handle hazardous waste, said SP Gautam, chairman, Central Pollution Control Board. India has a capacity to treat only one-third of its domestic hazardous waste.
