Industries are taking advantage of the relax norms and supervision by Polution control. more  
WASTE SEGREGATED FROM INDUSTRIES IS LOT IN VISAKHAPATNAM. AREA IN OLD POST OFFICE AREA IS LIKE A POND INSECTICIDES, PESTICIDES ROAMING IN THAT AREA. WHICH ALSO MAY CAUSE DREADFUL DISEASES. GOVT OR MUNICIPAL AUTHORITIES SHOULD TAKE SERIOUS ACTION ON THIS CREATING AWARENESS AMONG THE PUBLIC. THE TRACK ON THE PLATFORM IS IN SUCH A WAY THAT LEAVING THE HUMAN WASTE ON THE TRACK. DOGS ARE FEEDING ON THAT WASTE, RATS R ROAMING UNDER THE TRACK.I THINK SWATCH BHARAT IS NOT IMPLEMENTED SERIOUSLY more  
Waste in any form should not be allowed to be taken out of the industries. They should be made to reclaim or rework the waste within their premises. They should be made to pay and take back their used product( like containers and bottles ) from the public at a nominal cost and reprocess it within their units. more  
Industries manufacture the products as general(daily use), medical, electronics etc. These industries earned profit from selling above products. The basic need is to calculate the waste generated from each product and carbon consumption from these products when disposed by informal techniques. The government fixed carbon tax and every industries pays it before lauch of their product into markets. The recycling firm (same industry offers recycling or private recycle firm or government provided recycle firm) get returns from government agencies from taxation. more  
The plastic wastes are seen every where on the streets, public places such as parks river beds beach and waste lands. Local Authorities should be empowered to keep them clean. Government should ban the plastic units who produce, for bidden products less than the standard micro. more
