Mysuru to Set up Construction Waste Recycling Plant

Mysuru City Corporation has entered into an agreement with Susthira, a non- government organisation to recycle construction waste generated in the city. The city generates 100 -150 tonnes of construction waste every day. Susthira came forward to establish such a plant on public private partnership (PPP) basis. As per the agreement, the agency will build, own and operate the plant to certain period of time. MCC has reserved five acres of land near Koppaluru village on H D Kote Road to set up a plant. The plant will be given approval after discussing the issue at the council meeting. “If all goes as per plan, the company will begin its operations soon. This NGO has put forward the proposal of converting the construction and demolition waste into ready-mix concrete, cement bricks, hollow bricks, pavement blocks, kerb stones and concrete bricks. The unit will not only help clear the garbage, but help scientifically recycle construction and demolition waste while providing materials at cheaper rates to the public.
