1. Alarming Waste Problem
Existing solution of dumping waste into landfills is non-sustainable. With 677 open dumpsites, 343 controlled dumps, and 21 landfills in the country, 307 dump sites are already subjected for closure, with only 215 more landfills to be opened.
Multiple issues associated with landfills, such as air and water pollution, animal vectors, propagation of diseases and fire hazards.
