Description Shri. Ramdas Tukaram Kokare, presently working as Chief Officer in Municipal
Corporation, Karjat which has a total population of 30,000 and generates Class III
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in the tune of 12 metric tonnes per day. Earlier during 2010
to 2015 he had served as Chief Officer at Municipal Corporation Dapoli, Maharashtra
and during 2015-2017 he at Vengurla also in Maharashtra.
In 2010, Shri Ramdas came up with the idea of waste management at the source level
and decided to segregate plastic waste into recyclable and non-recyclable categories.
Plastic carry bags of less than 50 micron thickness were in the non-recyclable category,
while bottles, packaging material of food items and wrappers were to be recycled for
further usage. Local self-help groups were roped in to produce paper bags and some
awareness campaigns were organized.
