- Abstract
Increased urbanisation and the subsequent growth in population have made waste management a social issue that raises serious concerns. The grave environmental and health hazards of waste to society became the burden of city administrators across the globe. To address this issue effectively, a close cooperation is needed between government, the private sector and citizens, especially in developing countries. Recognising the importance of waste management concerns across the globe, waste management was the focus at international level in the Millennium Development Goals 2015 and further in Sustainable Development Goals 2030. In this context, this paper discusses the waste management programme initiated in Kerala, the southern state of India, with a special focus on the three "R" principles of waste management - Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. The Suchitwa Mission's initiatives such as green protocol, swap shop and zero waste project for the 3R principle is also discussed in the article.
