Construction & Demolition Waste Authorisation

Construction and demolition (C&D) waste constitutes 30% of India's urban solid waste. Mismanagement leads to air pollution, illegal dumping, drainage blockage, and environmental degradation. The C&D Waste Management Rules, 2016 (amended 2022), mandated by MoEFCC and enforced by CPCB/SPCBs, require authorisation for:

Waste generators (>20 TPD)
Processing facilities (>5 TPD capacity)
ULBs managing collection systems

Neeyal EnviroSolutions provides end-to-end authorisation services ensuring compliance with Rule 7 while promoting resource efficiency through >70% recycling.

Why C&D Waste Authorisation Is Critical

Pollution Prevention

Proper disposal can reduce PM2.5 levels by 45% in construction zones.

Resource Recovery

Enables 90%+ reuse of materials like concrete, bricks, and tiles.
