The Malinyamuktham Navakeralam Campaign is a radical cleanliness and sanitation movement, as part of which a system for scientific waste management is fast taking shape in the state. Non-biodegradable waste is systematically collected from the doorsteps of 69% of Kerala households and sent for recycling. More than 70% of the households have set up systems to manage their own organic waste while the rest rely on community facilities. Through the Haritha Karma Senas, 36,000 jobs have been created in the waste management sector for women. We also aim to undertake second-generation interventions needed to maintain and further augment a zero-waste State. These will include pushing for a green economy, ensuring high-quality infrastructure and systems, introducing blockchain-based traceability and digital systems for waste management to close leakages, setting up Municipal biowaste plants on scale with the help of PSUs like BPCL, GAIL, etc and advancing the Extended Producer Responsibility framework. About 250 Producers, Importers, Brand Owners and 22 Plastic Waste Processors have already been brought under the purview of Extended Producer Responsibility under Plastic Waste Management Rules through the effort of the Kerala State Pollution Control Board. Efforts are also being made to put a strong sustainable policy framework in place with specific policy directions including Scrap policy, Pig farms policy and Private partnership framework to enhance capability in waste management and promote green businesses. The Government of Kerala is tireless in its quest to declare the state as garbage-free in March 2024.
