A roadmap for implementation of the Resource Efficiency (RE) in the country was evolved today in the first meeting of the inter-departmental group of stakeholders, according to a Niti Aayog statement.
The meeting was chaired by principal adviser of Niti Aayog Ratan P Watal and was attended by nodal officers from the key ministries.
"RE is a potential instrument for generating wealth from waste. Measures for promoting effective recycling of scrap generated in the country could be explored," the statement said.
According to the statement, in November 2017, the Niti Aayog along with European Union delegation to India released the Strategy paper on Resource Efficiency (RE).
It said that the objective of the RE Strategy is to make recommendations for enhancing the resource-use efficiency in the Indian economy and industry, develop indicators for monitoring progress, and create an ecosystem for improving the resource security and minimising environmental impacts.
