Gujarat is a highly industrialized state  almost all types of industries including , chemical,  pharmaceuticals, dyes & dyes intermediates, petrochemicals etc. in large numbers which have very high potential to generate barrels / containers / liners contaminated with hazardous chemicals / waste. These industries are procuring their raw materials including hazardous chemicals from various countries in different packing materials including barrels / containers / liners. Once raw materials are decanted; these empty barrels / containers / liners becomes waste. In absence of any laid down procedure for the management of such contaminated barrels / containers / liners coupled with less number of proper dedicated decontamination facilities available across the State; majority of such waste items ultimately finds its way to the informal unorganized sector which has mushroomed all along the chemical estates. Management of these barrels / containers / liners which is normally not environmentally sound at such informal unorganized sectors not only thereby poses threat to the environment but also put the life of workers and surroundings in danger.
