Recycling body MRAI pitches for a dedicated central authority for circular economy

New Delhi: The Material Recycling Association of India (MRAI) on Monday pitched for a centralised nodal authority or a dedicated ministry for recycling and circular economy, saying the move will help in faster decision-making and streamlined compliance processes.

At a conference on the circular economy, MRAI President Sanjay Mehta highlighted that the recycling sector is governed by multiple ministries and regulatory bodies, leading to fragmented oversight and operational inefficiencies.
