“In MSWM processing and reuse of waste is most important. In this context segre<\/u>gation of waste at source (of generation of waste) becomes critical<\/u>. \u200bIt is clear that without segregation, technologies for processing waste, including waste to energy processes, will not work. It is also clear that without segregation, waste cannot be recycled and reused to become a resource. It will at best be collected and transported, but not managed.” NOT IN MY BACKYARD, a CSE Publication, 2016.<\/p>\n
