TERI has expertise to ensure air quality improvement by improving the usage of clean fuels and other measures at ports. Proposals shall be put in place for developing water treatment infrastructure and employing water conservation techniques across the ports. Improving solid waste management is another dimension where TERI can introduce noteworthy amelioration. This will necessarily comprise including effective waste segregation, recycling and reuse, and promoting waste-to-wealth that are in alignment with Swachh Bharat Mission. Employing sustainable dredging disposal mechanism to improve dredging material that is recycled and reused at ports would be vital step.

Establishing a zero-accident safety initiative through maintaining safety in critical areas like risk assessment, secure equipment handling procedures, re-engineering, and fostering a culture of safety and training can greatly contribute to making ports more environmentally friendly.
