In the core of environmental protection and technological development, exists the possibility of sustainable development. The impact of paints and its byproducts are very harmful for environment. Synthetic paints are major source of indoor air pollution and difficult to manage its post-application wastage. In this age of technology “Going Green” is the new hope, which exists towards saving world. The paper discusses novel development and changes in paint industries for green (ecofriendly) products. The Overview of paint industries, various applications, environmental effect, market challenges and opportunities for industries have been mentioned. The paper discusses about the “Green” involvement of paint Industries, which helps to creates various opportunities for new startups.

The objective of this research study is to identify and evaluate solid waste minimization hierarchy of waste management for properly managing solid waste including minimizing generation and treatment that have been generated, and disposing of waste residuals. Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the ‘present’ without compromising the effectiveness, efficiency and values of further generations to meet their own needs. This article discusses about case study on generation of solid wastes and potential waste management strategies for a group or generic industrial processes. All manufacturing and industrial processes generate wastes in the form of liquids, solids or gases. Some wastes are considered as hazardous. The waste minimization hierarchy of waste management is duly ranked from most desirable to least desirable. 1. Eliminating waste generation –Most desirable, 2. Reducing waste generation- Most desirable, 3. Reuse, recover or recycle waste materials- Most desirable, 4. Treating waste to diminish quantity and to detoxify the hazardous and non-hazardous solid wastes --Least desirable, 5. Disposing of waste residuals- Least desirable. Waste minimization includes only elimination, recovery, reduce, reuse and recycle hierarchies. Waste minimization does not include treatment of wastes as well disposal that is point number 4 and point number 5 because, these are traditional waste control strategies involves treatment and disposal which are called endof- the pipe solutions and found to be costly as well as involve control of high discharge standards. Modern waste control strategies involves point number 1, point number 2 and point number 3 which are not requiring end-of- the pipe solution for the waste management problems. Solid and hazardous waste generation is the sum of material recovery and discards. In this research paper review on solid waste mininmization hierarchy of waste management is presented for possible commercial exploitation in to industries. Report on waste audit conducted for an industry is presented for recovering two-third of municipal solid wastes (MSW) by recycling and composting processes for an airport industry.

A challenge for the “Local Governments” at the village level, as the rate of generation of waste is very high and a major problem to environment. The impact of social behaviour, present culture, rapid industrialization, technical societal developments on the rural areas causes more solid waste generation. Solid Waste Management (SWM) can also be an opportunity to create wealth from the waste through rural entrepreneurship which plays a vital role in economy development. The waste management is only possible through community involvement and by bringing change in the behaviour of the rural communities where the social entrepreneurship represents a new paradigm of social value creation and reflects a dynamic revolution in the social sector with a multidimensional construct. The steps taken by Government of Andhra Pradesh in this regard are in a Socio- Rural entrepreneurship approach. The Government of Andhra Pradesh has initiated SWM units namely Solid Wealth Processing centers in 659 block/ Mandal head quarter villages in the first phase to manage solid waste as well as to make wealth out of it and also to bring a change in the social behaviour of the rural communities in the year 2015. Basing on the results, the concept now is being extended to all the village level Local Governments in Andhra Pradesh. This paper focuses on the problem cum suggestion associated with SWM and the socio-rural entrepreneurship aspects for Local Governments in Andhra Pradesh.

Consumers today prefer green products over conventional products as they are growing environmentally and socially responsible. As a result of the growing base of eco - consumers several individuals and organizations are taking advantage of the contemporary Indian market scenario by innovating and redesigning their products with a green perspective. Hence the concepts of green entrepreneurship and green marketing are slowly and steadily establishing stronghold in the Indian markets. This study is exploratory in nature as it offers insights into the emergence of the concept of green entrepreneurship and its role in the Indian context. Based on the available literature the study proposes a conceptual model which explains the nexus between environmental, economic and social factors in development of green entrepreneurs which further leads to achievement of sustainable development. The opportunities and challenges for green entrepreneurship development are also explored in light of the initiatives taken by business houses, individuals and the Government of India by taking up case studies of successful green entrepreneurship ventures.
