FICCI Environment Conclave is stepping into its fifth year. The Conclave has been a platform for facilitating policy dialogue, business linkages, technology tie-ups and public private partnerships in sustainable waste management. For the past four years, the Conclave has brought together stakeholders engaged across the waste management spectrum under one platform. The Conclave has laid progressively more thrust on public private partnerships, the key to success of waste management initiatives at the municipal as well as industrial level.

The Conclave is a complete forum for waste management business across sectors and has emerged as an effective platform for Indian and global waste management stakeholders to create business linkages, gain knowledge and establish their presence in the evolving waste management market.

The conference this year will focus on the theme "Advancing public private partnerships for sustainable waste management" by showcasing PPP models that are in operation, scope for PPP in different states and municipalities and the impetus needed to put PPP models in place. State governments are also increasingly focusing on an integrated approach to waste management and developing models that incorporate private sector participation at different levels of the waste management chain - collection, transportation, recycling, treatment and disposal. Initiatives of different state governments have been showcased at the Conclave in the past. This year also the Conclave will present waste management initiatives of state governments that have taken the lead to address waste management through a public private partnership model.
