To stop uncontrolled generation & disposal of Hazardous Wastes which is a topic of great concern in our country, the govt. of India has published Hazardous wastes (Management & Handling) Rules, 1989 under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. The rules were more amended in the year 2000 and 2013; the central Govt.vide by information dated 24.09.2008 superseded the rules as mentioned above and framed the Hazardous waste management, Handling & Trans Boundary Movement)Rule,2008, and the same were amended during the year 2010.
The real reason for the implementation of Hazardous waste management came only after the way of Hon'ble SupremeCourt of India WP(c) No-657/95(order dated 14.10.2003) that the industry not having valid permission under Hazardous Wastes (Management & Handling)Rules, 1989 will not work and other ways also issues for construction of processing, storage & disposal facilities of Hazardous Wastes.
