Declaring the 20th Clean India Show open, Mr Sanjay Katkar, Municipal Commissioner, Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation, expressed: “There is a significant need for cleanliness in India. These expos help bring innovative solutions for making India cleaner. Even the Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation (MBMC) relies on a digital waste management system using an app ecosystem. This system helps us segregate 85% of solid waste and has identified strategic locations to minimize the time it takes for waste to be transported. They have also set up waste processing plants in three different areas to manage waste better. As waste is collected and processed efficiently, it helped us prevent flooding during the rainy season. I believe this show will highlight more innovations. In Indian society, the role of industries is crucial, as they develop innovative solutions, while government bodies assist in implementing them, thereby reducing and managing waste efficiently.”

The cleaning and hygiene, waste management and technology, laundry and autocare industry has seen an overhaul recently, especially post-COVID with increased focus on hygiene, sanitation. Industries have now dedicated standard protocols in place when it comes to cleanliness and hygiene. On this backdrop, a staunch increase in smart solutions have emerged as an advanced approach that is here to stay.
