for the same.

As per the report by GWMCs consultant iDeck, the state generates 766 tonne of solid waste per day out of which 345 tonne is dry waste. Of the dry waste, 60 tonne is non-recyclable combustible waste classified as refuse derived fuel (RDF).

GWMC transports approximately 600 tonne of RDF per month to cement factories for co-incineration, the cost of transportation for which varies from Rs 20,000 to Rs 26,000 per truck for 12-14 tonne. As this is economically unviable for the state, setting up of a waste toenergyplant was proposed.
