Acquiring Construction and Demolition Waste Management Authorization is crucial because Bihar is a rather young state in the eastern part of India which, however, goes through a rather rapid process of urbanization and infrastructural changes owing to economic development and population densities. This constant growth has enlarged the production of construction and demolition (C&D) waste at a staggering rate. With this the world has experienced. With the advancement of urban development of cities in the state besides improvements in constructing new residential, commercial, and industrial projects, the heaps of wastes like concrete, bricks, metals, woods, and plastics, among others, continue to cause significant environmental issues. Realizing the importance of the problems mentioned above that pertain to sustainable waste management needs, the Bihar government is in the process of developing solutions to these challenges. Inappropriate management and disposal of C&D waste results in pollution of the soil and water, and augmented emission of greenhouse gasses as well as the pressure on existing waste management systems. To reduce these effects, the state is targeting the use of environmentally sustainable use of resources in construction using the measures including waste disposal, recycling and reusing the construction waste. Also, the government is encouraging the builders and developers to embrace the idea of sustainable waste management hence leading to less pressure on the landfills, protection of natural resources and more savings. Through these measures, Bihar has envisioned not only the reduction of the construction sector’s impact on the environment but also empowering Bihar towards global environmental standards to obtain sustainable impacts for creating a construction related future.
Construction & Demolition waste also known as the Construction & Demolition materials include waste products such as rubble that are produced as a result of construction, improvement or destruction of structures. This waste stream comprises elements such as concrete, bricks, wood, metal, glass, tiles, and plastics. In construction processes, the common wastes include concrete and metals where the materials used in construction such as concrete and metal are initially cut or shaped and then thrown away as scrap, demolition processes involve wastes where structures are brought down, and they are dismantled. Another way in which renovation projects add to the amount of C&D waste is by removal of existing fixtures, fittings and building elements.
C&D waste is an environmental and management problem. If ineffective, it results in land degradation, water bodies pollution and enhanced emission of greenhouse gasses. This sometimes leads to congestion of the C&D waste hence exerting pressure on the waste management systems thus having cases of instances whereby the wastes are dumped unlawfully and those that are dumped are not well managed. Besides, poor disposal has implications in the development of health risks to communities and workers as well.
C&D waste management can therefore entail source separation, recycling and reuse of the construction and demolition waste. When different waste reduction methods and technological advances in recycling are incorporated within the C&D waste management systems, it then becomes easy to reduce the effects that these wastes have on the environment and at the same time conserve natural resources.
Construction and Demolition Waste Management Authorization offers numerous benefits that impact the environment, economy, and society. Here are some key benefits:
These usually involve a number of formalities such as obtaining all the legal permits, conforming to the legal requirements when it comes to disposal of wastes and applying all the measures of effective waste management. Here you will get some stress understanding the authorization process:
Every waste generator and service provider while implementing the rules is required to draw a new waste management plan within a period of six months from the date of notification. This plan should contain provisions on how to segregate, store, collect, reuse or recycle, transport and dispose of C&D waste within their jurisdiction.
The operators of the C&D waste processing facilities require the authorization of the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) or the Pollution Control Committee (PCC) through Form I in which the applicant must prove that the facility meets the environmental standards and adequate infrastructural provisions are in place.
If approved, the SPCB/PCC assesses the application on its compatibility to conform to specified environmental qualities of the facility. Also as part of the Research Analysis, the needs for development of these infrastructure, technology and operational plan of the facility will be evaluated against the projections of the C&D waste generation.
Upon successful assessment, the SPCB/PCC grants authorization to the facility. This authorization is crucial for the facility to operate legally and is subject to periodic monitoring and compliance checks by the SPCB/PCC.
Once the SPCB/PCC conducts the assessment and approves it, the SPCB/PCC then gives the authorization to the facility. It is a legal requirement for such a facility to be authorized to operate and such authorization must be coordinated by the SPCB/PCC and may include periodic reviews and check-ups.
To obtain authorization for a Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste management facility in India, the following documents are required:
Professional Fees to obtain Construction and Demolition Waste Management Authorization in ₹ ₹99,000 (only with Professional Utilities)
The C&D Waste Management Authorisation to be granted is valid for a period of 5 years as per Construction & Demolition Waste Management Rules, 2016.
The key points regarding the validity of the authorization are:
Construction and Demolition waste management authorization in Bihar is crucial in eradication of adversative impacts on the environment as well as promoting sustainable urban development. These include the formulation of strict measures to prevent pollution and emission, their support to recycling industries as well as encouragement for usage of environmental-friendly construction materials which are essential in reducing the negative impacts of increasing urbanization within the state. The authorization process ensures that waste is managed and disposed of well with documentation being compulsory and compliance to the environmental laws. Appropriate implementation of C&D waste management is useful as well as constructive and helps in saving the landfill area, creation of employment opportunities, and used in economic development for creating a sustainable future of Bihar.

C&D waste generation has increased in Bihar due to the process of urbanization and development of infrastructure. There is therefore a need to ensure proper management of the soil and water to minimize cases of pollution, emissions of greenhouse gasses, and enhancement of sustainable development.
In order to get an authorization, you are required to apply with a formal application to the concerned state Pollution Control Board known as SPCB or Pollution Control Committee. A waste management plan, a GST certificate and the technical documents have to be within the application.
The management of the C&D waste disposal facility is being overseen by the SPCB or the PCC. They regularly make compliance checks to ensure that they complied with the environmental laws, and the proper ways of disposing wastes.
Some of the emerging key issues include inadequate knowledge amongst builders, inadequacy of waste processing and recycling facilities, weak implementation of measures and hefty costs required to deploy waste management technology.
