Ms Roopa Mishra, Joint Secretary- SBM, Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs, highlighted significant changes in waste management practices in India. She stressed the need for clear segregation of recyclables and non-recyclables in every city and envisioned electricity generation from waste as a step towards achieving circularity in the economy.

Mr Masood Mallick, Chair, CII Task Force on Waste to Worth 2023, and CEO, Re Sustainability, emphasized that waste is no longer just an environmental issue but has economic, resource security, and strategic impacts. Circularity emerged as a core strategy for building a sustainable, inclusive, and resilient Bharat during G20 deliberations.

Prof Anil K Gupta, Chair, CII 3R Awards 2023, advocated transitioning from 3R to 4R, with repair/rejuvenation as the 4th R. He proposed the establishment of a Waste Exchange system in every city to facilitate repair, in addition to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
