The Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change has recently launched a web-based application “Integrated Waste Management System (IWMS) -www.iwms.nic.in” to help in tracking the movement and management of hazardous and other solid wastes. The purpose of the portal is to increase transparency in the working of the Ministry and other Centre/State level regulatory bodies and also to reduce the time taken for processing applications, seeking various types of permissions under the recently notified waste management regulations. The portal will facilitate the people in obtaining permission for import and export of certain categories of waste, for reuse, recycling, recovery or co-processing and conserve the primary source and also help the authorities to identify the problem areas and plan accordingly.
