Strategic Action Plan - International Environmental Technology Centre

Target:
INTRODUCING INDUSTRY-UNIVERSITY
PARTNERSHIPS IN PUNE
‣ To introduce certain areas where Industry – University (I/U) partnerships can be
taken up in the field of solid waste management for Pune.
Lead Agency: ISWM cell of PMC, Science and Technology Park of UoP and MCCIA
Support Agency: CII, NASSCOM, SEAP, STPI, PBAP, Housing Urban Development
Corporation, Recycling units and operators and Private Universities and Education
institutions of Pune
Location (Suggested): ISWM Cell of Pune and Science and Technology Park of UoP
Description: Several new ideas will come up as the ISWM action plan is implemented.
These issues and opportunities can form several projects which the ISWM cell can propose
to the Science and Technology Park of UoP for implementation. Partnerships can then be
formed between the Science and Technology Park and several industries to carry out work
on such projects. The Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) will be between the Science and
Technology Park and the industry based on the individual partnerships and therefore the
IPR related benefits will be with both the Science and Technology Park and the individual
industries. The Work on such projects can be done by the Science and Technology Park of
UoP who can hire or utilize the research resources of UoP, other institutions, etc. Students
from UoP or Institutions can work on such projects. The industries can provide some
workforce for these projects as well.
Individual companies or industries listed out on the Waste Exchange Centre can initiate
projects such as waste management within their companies, find new resource recovery
methods, changes in their technology and processes. These industries can collaborate
together with the Science and Technology Park of UoP and PMC to carry out
inventorization studies in Pune to make a proper inventory for solid wastes from generation
to disposal.
The neglected portions of waste management can be given attention through such a
partnership. The industries manufacturing household electrical and electronic appliances
and batteries can help to carry out an inventorization of household hazardous wastes.
Several methods can be devised through such partnerships to manage solid wastes more
effectively. Apart from technology innovations, softwares can be designed to model the
waste management flow in Pune.
Budget (Estimated): Varies based on project
