Bengaluru, August 2022: After the successful show preview in Delhi, the second preview for IFAT India 2022 was held at Sheraton Grand at Brigade Gateway, Bengaluru on 19th August 2022. IFAT India 2022 will be held at the Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai, on 28-30 September 2022. IFAT India is one of India’s leading trade fairs for water, sewage, solid waste, and recycling which provides an opportunity for industry experts, policymakers, and business leaders to discuss regional strategies on numerous environmental challenges and seek solutions through formal interactions.
Solid waste management is a serious challenge for urban India. Rising population, industrialization, and economic development have all contributed to an alarming increase in the amount of municipal waste generated per person. Today, most residual garbage from cities is dumped at landfills instead of being properly managed, indicating the pressing need for robust waste management solutions in India .The theme of today’s show preview in Bengaluru was ‘Sustainable Solutions for Urban Development’ with special emphasis on ‘Municipal Waste Management – Challenges and Opportunities’. During the preview program, many high-profile speakers emphasized strategic partnerships as well as tools and technologies needed to combat the rising volumes of municipal solid waste (MSW) in Indian cities.
Highlighting the role of technology in
waste management,Mohit Kumar said, “In
India, we generate about 62 million tonnes of waste every year, but only 20% of
it gets processed and the rest is dumped at landfills or get littered around
the city. Waste is not a problem, but failing to recycle it is the real
challenge that stems from the fact that our waste is not well segregated. Terex
offers mobile waste segregation technology which will ease the process of waste
management. IFAT 2022 is the perfect platform for us to create awareness
amongst the stakeholder community about our waste segregation technology which
can be deployed quickly at waste dumps and can be easily relocated to any new
site.”
On the importance of IFAT India 2022 for the waste management sector, Bhupinder Singh, CEO, Messe Muenchen India, said, “Solid waste management is one of the massive development challenges in India currently, and the problem is more acute in urban areas. To ensure appropriate management of waste, awareness, technical knowledge, adequate funding, and effective implementation of laws and policies are required. IFAT 2022 provides the right platform for all stakeholders to exchange perspectives, explore the latest global technology solutions, and forge partnerships to manage MSW as it is one of the most pressing challenges for our country today.”
