38. DO'S
AND DONTS FOR WMC MEMBERS
1.
What is a Waste Minimisation Circle (WMC) ?
Waste
Minimisation Circle is conceptualized on the lines of Quality
Circles (QC's) with the difference that in QC's the group is from
within the Industry where as WMC's are intended to be among the
industries.
A Waste Minimisation Circle thus can be defined as
"A small group of entrepreneurs in the small scale sector
whose units manufacture similar products and employ the same
processes meeting periodically and regularly in the premises of each
member unit one after another, to analyse the operation of the host
unit to identity sources of waste generation and implement WM
options leading to an increase in individual profitability and
reduction in pollution load from the units."
2.
What is the objective of the Waste Minimisation Circle (WMC) project
?
To realize benefits of Waste Minimisation Concept
and achieve conservation of resources and environmental improvement
by way of adoption of group efforts at industrial cluster level.
3.
How is the objective planned to be achieved?
1 By
building capacity on 'Waste Minimisation Assessment' applications
through training of WMC Facilitators
2 By creating
awareness and disseminating information on Waste Minimisation to
Small and Medium Enterprises
3 By providing a structured
methodology for systematic application of Waste Minimisation
concept.
4 By creating a platform for discussions and for
sharing experiences, views, knowledge and innovations in
implementation of WM Techniques
5 By enabling dissemination
of information through WMC News letter

Why WMC approach ?
The WMC approach in
promoting Waste Minimisation in SMEs is appropriate and sound
because of the factors listed below.
·
Adoption, acceptance and implementation of WM Options (WMOs) can be
ensured when WMOs are identified by entrepreneurs
· To
cover the length and breadth of the country relying on consultants
located at different places is a logical approach
· WMC can
generate a spirit of co-operation among its members even beyond WM
·
Members of WMCs after achieving success could generate the desired
multiplier effect
· The WMC approach focusing on self help
catalysed by the facilitator is a movement independent of regulatory
pressures

What barriers are generally encountered in implementing WM
Techniques ? What measures one can adopt for overcoming the barriers
?
| SPECIFIC
BARRIER |
MEASURES
TO OVERCOME |
| POLICY
BARRIERS |
Reservation
policy and protectionism for SME's resulting in adaptation of
unproductive industrial processes
Taxation
Policy which have limited the initiative for growth / expansion
of capacities in SME's
Regime of Prescriptive
Technologies for decades and consequent non-introduction of
timely corrective measures resulting in propagation of obsolete
technology (Khandsari) |
Opening
up of the Economy and Encouraging Competitive Forces
Introduction
to Advanced Technologies and Best Practices
A regime of
uniform Taxation Policy which encourages investment for
expansion / modernisation of SMEs
Non prescriptive
technologies that allow SME's scope for identifying and
selecting technologies best suited for their manufacturing
processes |
| ECONOMIC
BARRIERS |
Inappropriate
Resource accounting resulting in excess consumption of Water /
Electricity causing wastage and losses
Feeling that WM
costs money, additional resources in terms of Raw material &
Energy, investment in new machinery etc.
Low returns on
investment from implementing WM measures.
Realising
profitable margins and acceptable return on investments for
decades by SMEs while focusing on maximising production despite
low productivity and poor quality of goods while catering to
large domestic demand for manufactured goods
Notion of
steady / increasing demand for the manufactured goods in the
country with a steady rate of increasing population |
In
evaluating Economic viability of industrial Enterprises
inclusion of full and true cost of following issues must be
undertaken :
- Resources consumed
- Pollution
caused
- Waste generated
- Potential future liabilities
introduced etc.
SME's
should undertake value addition measures through innovations and
enhancing product quality (by applying concepts like Quality
Circles / Kaizen / 5S etc.) for matching higher consumer
expectations and realising higher profitability
Improving
competitiveness through improving productivity in a shrinking
market |
| TECHNICAL
BARRIERS |
¨
Limited access to technical information.
¨ Limited
availability of trained manpower
¨ Limited
availability of technical experts.
¨ Lack of adequate
external infrastructural facilities
¨ Limited in-house
maintenance facilities
¨ Lack of documentatio -
systematic records
¨ Limitations posed by existing
technology. |
Improving
access to technical information through SISI's, Industry
associations, Cleaner Production Clearing Houses, Waste
Minimisation related Literature / Newsletters / Websites etc.
Improving Operator / Supervisor Training
Establishments and introducing Wast Minimisation concepts in the
curriculum. Encouraging Entrepreneurs to provide periodic
training / retraining to employees for higher efficiencies in
their units.
Building Capacity through training
technical personnel (in different parts of the country) in
respect of applications of Waste Minimisation Concept example
developing WMC Facilitators
Development of suitable
infrastructure facilities in industrial estates / zones.
Encouraging
entrepreneurs to equip themselves or in partnership with
suitable maintenance / monitoring / testing facilities
Create
facilities (finance / consultancy etc.) for technology
upgradation / revamping and re-engineering of enterprises |
| REGULATORY
BARRIERS |
Emphasis
on End-of-Pipe Treatment for deducing environmental compliance |
Emphasis
on Waste Minimisation efforts to be undertaken by industry as
part of Regulatory approach |
| ATTITUDINAL
/ CULTURAL BARRIERS |
Resistance
to change and friction among elements with in a company may
introduce barriers like
- Lack of managerial commitment
-
Poor internal communication
- Restrictive employment
practices
- Lack of effective supervision.
Concerns
about changes to product quality and customer acceptance
|
-Education
and training programmes with managerial improvements.
-Encourage
employees at all levels to provide valuable information about
operational problems and insights into possible solutions
Introducing
incentive schemes
Company should take steps to identify
customer needs.
Increase quality control in manufacture |
| Mental
Blocks: |
Fear
of disturbing tradition
Fear of criticism
Fear of making
mistakes ( being considered a guinea pig)
Fear of
making solitary effort (Not me first syndrome)
Fear of
losing trade secrets
Fear of being exposed for inadequacies
in existing processes etc.
|
Showing
modern units to break traditional mind set, helping conduct
trials with assistance from suppliers, training to enhance risk
taking ability. |
Myths
Good
only for multinationals
Needs highly qualified personnel.
Requires
latest technology
Total automation a must
Requires high
capital investment
It's a one time activity
Has limited
potential
Idea Killers
Let's
think about it later
We have already tried it
This is
not the right time
You don't understand the problem
Talk
to John - This is not my field
It sounds nice in theory but
will not work in practice
We are too small /big for it.
Has
it been tried elsewhere.
It doesn't fit into our planning
Over
all production cost increases
- Raw material costs
-
Production rate decreases
- New equipment is required |
|
Company and employees need
to be alert to information from
- Government bodies
- trade
associations

Degradation of
Land / Water / Air
The adoption of WM is needed to:
1.
Conserve chemical and auxiliary chemicals
2. Conserve water
3.
Conserve energy
4. Control pollution
- - a considerable
portion of chemicals used appear in wastewater which if discharged
without treatment can cause grave damage to the environment. WM
helps to reduce treatment cost and some times eliminating the need
of treatment.
- Water conservation leads to reduced volume
of wastewater and reduced space and capital requirements for ETP.
5.
Enhance workers awareness regarding occupational health and safety.
6. Match Export market requirements:
- Some of the
developed countries are restricting imports for reasons of using
toxic materials as input in producing the goods. The trend is
expected to rise with growing awareness.
7. Help build
industry's image in public :
- Public awareness about issues of
environmental protection are growing and the risk of rejecting a
product on environmental grounds is increasing day by day.
-
Affected communities due to pollution are increasingly taking the
role of watchdog.
