PREFACE

In 1980's during the era of Globaliza�on and Liberaliza�on Mumbai no�ced fall of Industrial growth. Further, socio-economic pressures accompanied with pollu�on issues played crucial role in expelling industries from Mumbai to the nearby places around Mumbai.

Kalyan-Dombivali-Badlapur-Ambernath Maharashtra Industrial Development Corpora�on areas flourished due to its proximity to Mumbai, the economic Capital of India. However, the scale of opera�on and technological limita�ons of the industrial sectors such as Tex�le, chemical and pharmaceu�cal posed limita�ons to growth and therefore the profitability, as well.

In present days these industries are under serious threat including their sustenance, more than anything else, on account of Environmental issues itself due to pressures from pollu�on control board, public and judiciary.

Maharashtra Pollu�on Control Board is aware of social and economic threats to this en�re area. However, allowing con�nues the pressures on environment and natural resources will prove disastrous in near future.

Hon'ble Na�onal Green Tribunal (Western Zone), Pune and Hon'ble High Court of Bombay is also recorded its serious observa�ons on the issue and issued various direc�ons in "Vanashak�" ma�er.

This Conference and Exhibi�on of technology providers is specifically organized to sensi�ze industries and local bodies having major contribu�on to pollu�on of this area. Further, we aim to exhibit the success stories and technologies to delegates which can be adopted by them to ensure their sustenance.

We gratefully acknowledge the whole hearted support extended by Hon'ble Environment Minister Shri Ramdasji Kadam, Hon'ble Minister of State for Environment Shri Pravin Pote-Pa�l, Addi�onal Chief Secretary, Environment Department, Govt. of Maharashtra and Chairperson Maharashtra Pollu�on Control Board Smt. Malini Shankar, for arranging the Conference. Contribu�on and support extended by experts, Industry Associa�ons, Common Effluent Treatment Plants and Govt. Departments is gratefully acknowledged.

I wish success to conference and to the endeavor of Maharashtra Pollu�on Control Board officials, Principal Scien�fic Officer Dr. A. R. Supate, Regional Officer Dr. J. B. Sangewar and Sub-Regional Officers of Kalyan Region Mr. M. R. Lad and Mr. Ni�n Shinde.

Mr. Nitesh Mehta, Co-Founder & Director, Green ChemisTree Founda�on

Green ChemisTree Founda�on has been partnering with various bodies to organize conferences, seminars & workshops to expand awareness about Green Chemistry amongst all stakeholders since last 7 years. In our experience, this is the first �me that a regulatory body like Maharashtra Pollu�on Control Board (MPCB) has pro-ac�vely taken an ini�a�ve to understand industry's challenges, educate the industry & connect them to poten�al solu�on providers.

We congratulate MPCB for making this transi�on to be a “Facilitator” along with a Regulator and appreciate the commitment of senior MPCB officials.

Considering the drama�c growth of residen�al colonies & increase in popula�on in the Dombivli, Kalyan, Ambernath, Badlapur & Bhiwandi industrial areas, it is a big challenge to manage sustainable co-existence of both. Industrial Areas that have existed for over 3 decades, over a period of �me, create an eco-system around them. An eco-system which not only earns livelihood for millions of people but also is a source of sustenance for many ancillary industries, traders, transporta�on & warehousing businesses, academic ins�tu�ons, etc. Closing down of such industrial estates may completely disturb this eco-system & lead to social unrest in the area.

Hence, it is in the interest of the industry as well as the local residen�al popula�on that Industries not only survive but flourish. However, the industry also needs to realize that it can't con�nue with old prac�ces that pollute the environment & adopt new technologies for integra�ng Efficient, Economical and Environmentally responsible manufacturing prac�ces.

We are really inspired by this ini�a�ve of MPCB to partner with Industries for a Sustainable Co-Existence of Industrial Areas & Residen�al Colonies and assure our complete partnership for success of this ini�a�ve.

We take this opportunity to thank resources persons from IIT-Bombay, ICT, NEERI, BTRA (Bombay Tex�le Research Associa�on), NCL-Pune and other organiza�ons like MIDC & Divisional Commissioner for their contribu�on to this conference. We also thank all solu�on providers for their efforts to create new technologies to reduce industry's environmental footprint.

Finally, we thank Dr. P. Anbalagan, Dr. Amar Supate and the en�re team of MPCB for giving us this opportunity to contribute and serve.

Thank you and wish you a Greener Future!

On Behalf of Green ChemisTree Founda�on Team,

The event marks the beginning of a transition in MPCB's approach to partner with the Industry in helping the Industry resolve its environmental challenges while meeting the regulatory norms. Whereas for the Industry, the event demonstrated MPCB's commitment to understand their concerns and willingness to consider their suggestions and recommendations.

The event also brought about a shift in Industry's willingness to re-visit their manufacturing processes and consider integrating innovative 'green' technologies and solutions for minimizing and /or preventing pollution emission at source.

Suggestions & Recommendations from Industry Participants

1. Dept. of Environment, Dept. of Industry, MPCB and MIDC to jointly consider setting-up an interface body OR a nodal agency such as Maharashtra Cleaner Production Centre (MCPC) with the objective to facilitate various stakeholders (Govt. bodies, Industry, Solution Providers, etc.) for providing technical back-up to the Industry, support for technology up-gradation, providing R&D facilities and / OR relevant schemes and subsidies for Technology patenting, Technology marketing, incubating new technologies, etc.

2. As on immediate measure MPCB to expedite establishing a Technology Cell for providing technical support to the Industry on similar issues as mentioned above.

3. MPCB to invite Solution providers, Industry Associations and CETPs to submit specific technology demonstration projects for hand-holding and extending viability gap funding from penalties recovered by MPCB from industries.

4. MPCB, MIDC and Manufacturing Associations should provide joint platform for young innovators and designers of waste treatment technologies. MPCB may take a lead in setting up such format platform.

5. In order to enhance the economic viability of sewage treatment plants, MIDC to consider allowing of treated sewage for Industrial use by large-scale water consumers. MIDC may further consider tertiary treatment of treated sewage and supply to the Industries as per their required inlet/ raw water standards.

6. Recommended to encourage private treatment facilities for high COD streams, high TDS streams, high volume sludge handling and treatment, spent acid reuse/recycling, on similar lines of solvent-recovery and solvent- distillation units. Following promotional incentives may be considered.

13

a. Waiver of environmental clearance and green channel for grant of MPCB consent. b. Incentives on the line of CETP industry for providing land at special price in MIDC areas c. Consider extending soft-loan by DIPP / Industries Dept. d. Concessional rates for waste disposal at Common Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal Facilities for land-fill / incineration

7. Recommended to allow disposal of incinerable hazardous and non-hazardous waste through co-processing in cement kiln, excluding wastes which are banned for co-processing (e.g. mineral acids, asbestos, whole batteries, bio-medical waste, explosives, nuclear waste, unsorted MSW etc.)

8. Recommended to provide incentives (Financial or Tax rebate) on effluent treatment technologies such as Membrane Bio Reactor (MBR) having potential for reuse and recycle of treated waste-water, to ensure economic viability to MSMEs.
