breaking ceramony for a solid waste management facility in Electronics
City, Bangalore 18 January 2012
A partnership Waste Wise Trust (WWT), not for profit end-to-end a solid waste management organisation, based in Bangalore and India's Electronics City Industries' Association (ELCIA) has inaugurated a recycling facility at Electronics City Bangalore.
Electronics City is a neighbourhood in south Bangalore and India's equivalent to Silicone Valley, ELCIA is a member based body of industries located in Electronics City.
WWT said that it already runs its own recycling facility in Bangalore and works with both residential and commercial clients to manage waste and provide zero waste solutions to communities interested in managing their waste rather than dumping.
The Electronics City recycling facility will be the second recycling facility managed by WWT.
According to the WWT, the facility, initiated by ElCIA, provides a decentralised, market based solution to waste management and will help recover thousands of tonnes of recyclable waste otherwise destined for dump sites.
The organisation said that on a daily basis the facility will receive dry recyclable materials collected by member companies, which will be sorted into paper, plastics, glass and metals.
Once sorted the materials will then be sent to processing facilities for further recycling purposes. In addition, collections from road sweeping such as leaf and garden litter will be converted into compost through various forms of composting.
WWT added that through its services, it hopes in time to arrive at zero waste in Electronics City.
