Plastic Waste Generation & Recycling Capacities of Major Cities in Madhya Pradesh (2023)
Source: MPPCB
Definition: This chart illustrates the generation of plastic waste within the municipal boundaries of major cities in Madhya Pradesh, alongside their respective recycling capacities within the city and surrounding areas.
The data presented is sourced from the Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board’s Annual Report on Plastic Waste Management for the fiscal year 2022-23.
Key Insights:
– Indore demonstrates a surplus in recycling capacity compared to its plastic waste generation, enabling efficient management and recycling of plastic waste.
– In contrast, other major cities face limitations in their overall recycling capacities, presenting challenges in effectively managing plastic waste.
– The annual per capita plastic waste generation for Indore, Gwalior, Bhopal, and Jabalpur stands at 20.36 kg, 18.25 kg, 14.73 kg, and 3.06 kg, respectively.
– The comparatively low per capita waste generation in cities like Bhopal and Jabalpur may suggest potential inefficiencies in plastic waste collection and reporting mechanisms.
