Badlapur Planned Integrated Waste Facility To Process 600 TPD
A new waste facility is being developed in Badlapur.
It will handle up to 600 tonnes of municipal waste every day.
Waste will come from Ambernath, Kulgaon-Badlapur and Ulhasnagar.
Some materials, such as paper, plastic, metal and glass, will be separated for recycling.
Food and other biodegradable waste will be processed into compost.
Some waste may also be turned into Refuse Derived Fuel.
The facility will include a carefully managed landfill for waste that cannot be recovered.
Its goal is to make neighbourhoods cleaner and protect people and the environment.
A modern municipal solid waste facility is being developed in Badlapur on a Design-Build-Operate-Transfer basis.
The facility is designed to process 600 tonnes of waste daily from Ambernath, Kulgaon-Badlapur and Ulhasnagar.
Planned components include a Material Recovery Facility, biodegradable waste processing units and a sanitary landfill.
The project aims to recover paper, plastics, metals and glass, produce compost and Refuse Derived Fuel, and reduce landfill use.
The facility is expected to improve sanitation, reduce open dumping and create employment, including safer opportunities for informal waste pickers.
