NEW DELHI: To ensure proper utilisation of plastic and wet municipal waste generated from its areas, South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) has decided to set up a compressed biogas plant and a plastic waste processing facility plant as part of a CSR activity at two different sites.
It has allocated nearly 1,500 sqm land free of cost at Hastsal for setting up an integrated compressed biogas plant for utilising wet municipal waste and around 2,000 sq metre area at Madipur for setting up a plastic recycle plant. The proposals have received approval in the standing committee meeting recently.
“We had done an inspection of the site before allocating land. While we will bear no cost on the project, the concessionaires will need to tie up with the contractor collecting waste from SDMC areas for getting wet waste or plastic for their plants. At the plastic waste facility, granules will be produced,” said Col. BK Oberoi, standing committee chairman, SDMC.
For implementing the biogas plant project, the civic body had signed an MoU with IGL last month, which would help in producing compressed biogas by utilising organic waste with primary feedstock like municipal solid waste and horticulture waste.
