The Construction and Demolition Waste Management Rules, 2016, define the authorization for managing C&D waste in Mizoram. To support this goal, these rules contain provisions that purport to create a systemic approach when it comes to the management, recycling or disposal of C&D waste that results from construction. The regulations call for efficiency through proper disposal, reusing and recycling, hence a reduction in the effects that come with the production of waste. Through these measures, Mizoram aims at achieving responsible waste management that will protect the environment and conserve the available resources to the benefit of the people inhabiting both urban and rural areas, while at the same time achieving sustainable urban development.
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:

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:
C&D waste management authorization is mandatory for undertaking business in Mizoram which necessitates the proper management and disposal of C&D waste for sustainable construction. This entails putting forward a waste management plan and ensuring that the company complies with the legal set environmental legal requirements; a certificate from the SPCB or the PCC. Apart from lawyers’ regulation, it serves as a way of stamping out waste and unnecessary consumption of natural resources and supports sustainable development of towns. The proper handling of C&D waste can therefore benefit any business, reduce expenses and generate employment, as well as foster the development of the state’s economy and growth.

C&D waste generation has increased in Mizoram 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.
