The City

India, the second biggest country in the world, has nearly 1.25 million people living in 29 states and seven union territories covering an area of 3,287,000 sq. km. India's economy grew at an impressive 8.2% in the first quarter of 2018-19. Traditionally, India has the habit of reuse and recycling the materials wherever possible. As the city agglomeration is increasing the waste generation is increasing. The number of towns/cities have increased from 5,161 in 2001 to 7,935 in 2011, whereas the number of metropolitan cities having million plus population has increased from 35 to 53 number as per 2011 census. It is projected that half of India's population will live in cities by 2050. Waste management in India has been experiencing a paradigm shift through the establishment of Swachh Bharat Mission in urban and rural India in 2014 and the revision and establishment of waste management rules in six types of wastes including transboundary movement in 2016. This study presents the overall waste management scenario and the legal framework in India.

The production and management of waste has become an important point of interest for hoteliers and their managers globally due to its environmental impacts. In the bid to become more sustainable or environmentally responsible, hotels and guest houses are going green. Thus, this study examines waste management system adopted lodging facilities in Minna, Niger State. Data collection was performed using questionnaire administered to managers of 26 sampled lodging facilities. Result revealed that three units (rooms, kitchen and store/wharehouse) out of the nine units examined produce the highest volume of wastes As plastic, paper, organic, and water wastes are topmost in the categories of wastes produce, while large percentage of the wastes are either burnt, landfill, or dump in the water ways or municipal dump site without seperation. The findings will help foster a new paradigm shift to mitigate the environmental impact of the waste produced by accomoodation outfits.

Waste Bank

The paradigm shift in waste management has encouraged a change in waste management to be more community-based by reusing waste through waste banks. This study aims to describe the various waste management problems faced by the Matahari Waste Bank, Madiun City. Descriptive research method with qualitative approach is used in this research. The result shows that the waste bank faces problems include a lack of human resources, limited knowledge and skills of waste bank management, inadequate waste management infrastructure, lack of support from local government, and a lack of public understanding of the importance of waste banks. Local governments need to make concrete efforts in encouraging and supporting waste management through waste banks as mandated by laws and government regulations and as a form of appreciation for the waste bank.

The aim of this paper is to assess the current state of municipal solid waste management (MSWM) in Belgrade, the capital city of Serbia, by analyzing a legal framework, quantities of generated waste, collection systems, transportation, final disposal, separate collection of recyclables, and waste minimization incentives. The analysis is mostly based on the available data of public utility company ?Gradska cistoca?, the only provider of municipal solid waste (MSW) services i.e. collection, transportation, and disposal. Key features, problems and goals of MSWM system in Belgrade are discussed, and the efficiency of the existing separate collection system of recyclables is reviewed. Finally, some further guidelines are given in order to assure paradigm shift in the next period.

The Individual

The notions about waste developed over centuries have had a significant impact on the way we relate to it.The transfer of responsibility for waste disposal from the individual to the public, the notion of disposability arising out of the need for sanitation and the rise of environmental awareness have contributed to the creation of waste as a ‘problem’. Resignation and guilt, the impulse to treat our waste as invisible or with disgust, the inability to acknowledge the normalcy of waste, these are some of the outcomes with which we live. Rather than implementing further problem-solving actions, which have up till now returned limited results, a transformation of individual relationships to waste is required, leading to new ways of viewing and handling what we must discard.The practice of design has expanded its scope from being governed by market forces to impacting social change. Interior designers can contribute to this paradigm shift, borrowing from the principles of persuasive design to include designed spaces for waste management in urban homes in order to empower individual responsibility while diverting significant quantities of waste from the waste stream. Eventually, waste management can gain a permanent space within urban homes, thereby legitimising the existence of waste, acknowledging individual connections to its substance and embracing ownership of management.
