There is a serious difference in the consumption looking at India and looking to the the Netherlands.
This is seen in the fashion industry.

Looking at fashion, the Indian way would be to give away clothing once they are out of fashion or just not worn anymore, whereas in the Netherlands people are much more likely to just be throwing that away.

Fashion differs in India and the Netherlands.

In the Netherlands the fashion trends are really fluent. Some clothing stores have up to 24 collections every year, also producing a lot of waste. People in the Netherlands are sensitive to fashion changes.
Also, fashion differs in certain groups of people. People really express theirselves in their clothing (see picture)

But, also in India the social media influencers have an increasing effect on the fashion trends. Especially in the last few years people in India follow online trends more and more.

In Leiden students can separate from their families and be self-sufficient at a young age.

In India, students are dependent on their parents' help for a longer time.

This changes the way students are dressed, since parents still buy them clothing, whereas in the Netherlands, students will start buying their own clothing at around 16 (on average)

Fast fashion is clothing that is sold for a low price, but with bad quality.

This is a hot topic in the Netherlands, since this is making the fashion industry the second most polluting industry in the world, after oil.

This is a problem on the young generation.

This problem is that not that big in India, over in India, people use clothing longer.

Thrift shops for clothing are also bigger in India than they are in the Netherlands.

The idea of using clothes and after a short time being thrown out, is just not there in India. They re-use until the clothes fall apart, or use them as towels for in the kitchen.

The price of clothing is different for India and the Netherlands. In India one can get a shirt for around 100 roepies, just under a dollar. In the Netherlands a shirt will be close to 5 dollars.

The process of composting is done by big machines.

For the collection of waste in neighbourhoods, we use underground bins as you can see in the picture

Students from India always make sure to bring a bag to put waste in and try not to use plastic straws.

In the Netherlands the collection of waste is different per city. In Leiden for instance, one can throw everything in one bin, whereas the municipality will seperate everything. There is a big difference in the waste collection for every municipality.

In India a lot of waste is dumped on empty land, this is called landfill. This results in waste mountains.

Most trash in India is not segregated.

40-50 percent of all waste will be recycled, definitely not more than 50%. The rest just ends up on the landfill.

Looking at the difference in Waste in The Netherlands and in India

Waste is not really segregated in India.

Students are not able to give along the waste to BBMP for them to collect it. They have to go to college at 8, while the collectors come at 9. Therefore the waste will not be collected properly.
