Member of the Supreme Court appointed committee says that waste- to- energy and industrial solution projects are not applicable. Environmentally, they are risky as they release fly ash. The best way to handle urban waste is recycling and composting through segregation at sources. Member of the Supreme Court appointed committee also said that Indian urban waste is not feasible for such projects, either by quality or quantity.
