Odour is a sensory response to the chemicals in the inhaled air. Air quality is affected not only due to conventional air pollutants but also due to unpleasant odours. The usual effect of bad odours is nuisance, but in more serious cases it may lead to feelings of nausea and headache and to other symptoms that appear to be related to stress. Odour pollution has distinctly different characteristics and is undoubtedly the more complex of all the air pollution problems.
Till date, not much attention has been paid towards odour problems in the country. Considering the likely increase in odour problems in the country. the central pollution control board (CPCB) constituted an expert committee on odour pollution and its control, to look into the extent of problem, its measurement, control and regulation aspects.
The guidelines deals with the basics of odour pollution, its sources, measurement, control technologies, case studies in India and international regulations and legislations.
Although the term “legacy waste” has not been defined in any official government document in India, it typically refers to aged municipal solid waste in landfills or dumpsites. There is no information on how old waste must be in order to qualifybe called legacy waste. Legacy waste is a mix of partially or completely decomposed biodegradable waste, plastic waste, textiles, metals, glass and other components.
It is important to note that legacy waste dumpsite remediation projects in India concern themselves not only with legacy waste dumpsites but also with any unscientifically managed dumpsite that is relatively young. The agenda is to clear unscientifically designed and mismanaged dumpsites that might be causing or can cause long-term environmental and public health hazards.
In an era where global concerns about climate change, biodiversity loss, and resource depletion are at the forefront, the need for responsible and sustainable business practices has never been more apparent. The development and implementation of robust Environmental Management Plans (EMPs) have emerged as instrumental tools for organizations seeking to minimize their environmental impact, ensure compliance with regulations, and contribute to a more sustainable future.
JMEPL has a highly skilled team to fulfil our customers’ EMP needs through a set of services:
A Waste Management Plan (WMP) plays a key role in achieving sustainable waste management. The purpose of this plan is to ensure that effective procedures are implemented for the handling, storage, transportation and disposal of waste that is generated from the activities on site.
The plan prescribes measures for the collection, temporary storage and safe disposal of the waste streams associated with the project and includes provisions for the recovery, re-use and recycling of waste. This WMP has been compiled as part of the project Environmental Management Programme (EMPr) and includes waste stream information available at the time of compilation.
Construction practices and operations must be measured and analysed in order to determine the efficacy of the plan and whether further revision of the plan is required. This plan should be further updated should further detail regarding waste quantities and categorisation become available, during the construction and/or operational stages.

What kinds of ESG services does JMEPL provide?
Eco-friendly product manufacturing and its use can significantly affect a sustainable green economy. High CO2 emissions through different resources, such as excessive crude oil consumption and plastic products or other environmentally unfriendly materials, cause damage to the ecological system.Turning consumers’ behaviour toward the use of eco-friendly products is a challenge. If people are successfully motivated to buy and use eco-friendly products, the dream of a sustainable green economy can be achieved.
EPR is a producer-focused mechanism that aims to reduce waste, particularly plastic waste, by increasing recycling and decreasing dependency on new raw materials. EPR moves the cost of managing postuse products partially or fully from local governments to the producing industry. It is based on the “polluter pays” principle, making waste producers responsible for the recycling and disposal of their waste.
