"There
has been a major shift in thinking at the international
level about waste management policies & practices.
Now, waste is more increasingly treated as a resource
rather than sheer garbage. We have to ensure that
these changes in waste management policy and practices
world-over are incorporated in the Local context as
efficiently and effectively as possible" |

| "Solid
Waste forms the core of all environmental problems.
Effective and efficient management of waste can turn
the problems. Effective and efficient management of
waste can turn the problem of wastes into a source
of wealth". Disposal of waste in a safe and cost
effective manner is becoming increasingly important
worldwide. JCB, in keeping with its tradition, has
taken a initiative towards addressing the issue of
waste management in India. We have a great range of
machine and attachments for waste handling and are
holding seminars in various metro cities. |
