The platform is expected to help industries handle the waste produced in an eco-friendly manner.

Industrial waste will be segregated on the basis of the categories of hazardous waste, non-hazardous waste and e-waste, solid and liquid waste, and air pollutants etc. The waste will then be disposed off at the respective waste centres with the process monitored by APEMC. The APMEC will also guide industries who seek help regarding proper removal of waste.
