Jaffrabad to get waste management tech park
Hindustan TimesThe East Delhi Municipal Corporation’s new technology park in Jaffrabad, which features several pilot projects for decentralised processing of municipal waste, will be inaugurated by K Vijay Raghavan, the principal scientific advisor to the Central government, on Tuesday. Under the technology park, a 1,000sqm area, which was earlier used for open dumping and waste collection, has been turned into mini-decentralised waste processing facility. Officials said the technology park, spread over a 1,000 square metre area, is a trial project to see the viability of incorporating waste processing technologies at a local level and reduce the pressure on landfills. “The trials of various pilot units are now complete and the park will be fully operational to treat 10 tonnes of municipal solid waste every day.
