Water management professionals are also needed to ensure efficient usage and recycling of water in buildings.

Solid Waste Management
Solid waste management plays a crucial role in maintaining environmental sustainability by effectively
handling waste generated from households, businesses, industries, and public services. The process includes
waste collection, segregation, transportation, processing, and disposal, ensuring minimal environmental
impact. Proper management of solid waste helps in reducing pollution, conserving natural resources, and
promoting recycling. The Government of India has categorised solid waste into 14 types, highlighting the
need for specialised waste management strategies to handle different types of waste efficiently.
Green jobs in solid waste management focus on sustainable waste handling practices, including e-waste
recycling, waste reduction, waste auditing, and waste control. Professionals in this field work towards
minimising landfill waste, improving recycling systems, and developing eco-friendly disposal methods. The
demand for skilled workers in waste management is increasing as cities and industries look for sustainable
solutions to manage waste effectively. By promoting proper waste management techniques, these green jobs
contribute to environmental conservation and help build cleaner, healthier communities.
