印度的廢棄物管理 - 環境保育討論

各位TAIA的夥伴們:
以下這封英文信請大家參考
內容是說有個印度佬 環遊印度
蒐集印度各地廢棄物管理系統的資料
他發現在印度有許多小型計劃
(以印度人口來說算小, 但計劃服務人口也超過15000戶家庭, 若每戶4人, 即有60000人
口以上)
這些社區幾乎能回收所有的資源物與將所有的有機物做成堆肥
即使印度的源頭分類還不是做得很好
他們的轉向率(diversion rate), 相當於我們的資源回收率, 介於50%-80%之間

和霖 敬上

Dear Ralph, Ric, Annie and All Campaigners of Zero Waste

If the campaign on Zero Waste reamins on the awareness level without solid
success at the ground level, nothing much would happen. I appreciate the
idea that Zero Waste as a concept is being promoted and accepted by many
around the world.

I have been travelling around the country (India)to analyse and document
community based waste management systems. There have been many such small
projects here in India( Small in the Indian sense - some projects cover more
then 15,000 household collection and composting of the organics and recovery
of recyclables). Even few municipalities in India have been doing very good
work. There are community based projects which have been able to compost
all the organics and recover nearly all recyclalbes from the waste though
good segregation at source is yet to begin in India. The landfill diversion
rate in these projects is from 50% to 80%.

These are the kind of projects that needs to be highlighted and supported. I
am sure with good capacity building workshops for these organisation ( they
are unaware of the good work they are doing) can lead to creation of Zero
Waste decentralised Models.
