India must maximize resource efficiency to become developed by 2047

Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav on Tuesday said India must maximize resource efficiency to achieve its goal of becoming a developed country by 2047. Addressing the conclave on “Waste Recycling and Climate Change” here, Yadav urged industries to design products that support circularity and collectively adopt advanced recycling technologies.
