Kerala to Introduce Comprehensive Waste Management Policies
IN · Published Aug 18, 2026
The Kerala government is set to implement two major waste management policies: a Solid Waste Management Policy and a Plastic Recycling Policy.
These initiatives aim to address the state's growing waste management challenges by focusing on scientific disposal methods, recycling systems, and stricter compliance for bulk waste generators.

Impact & Risks

The policies are expected to significantly improve waste management practices in Kerala, reducing environmental pollution and promoting sustainability. However, the implementation may face challenges such as resistance from stakeholders and the need for substantial investment in infrastructure. Non-compliance could lead to penalties for bulk waste generators and plastic producers.
