Industrial waste specialist celebrates 10 decades of greening the
environment by moving industrial waste management into municipal waste
management.
Every day citizens of Colombo and the suburbs generate tones of
garbage: half of which lies uncollected, and rest of it which gets
dumped into lands causing severe issues each year, including unsanitary
conditions, and health problems.
Geocycle, the waste specialist, whose specialized in managing
industrial wastes has now stepped in to provide a sustainable solution
for such Municipal Solid Wastes (MSW) generated in the country.
Commemorating its 10th year celebrations, the wholly owned waste
management business unit of Holcim Lanka Limited, the nation's leading
supplier of cement and related services, will be establishing a model
MSW management plant at the Katunayake-Seeduwa Urban Council area under
a Private-Public Partnership concept in collaboration with the Urban
Council of Katunayake-Seeduwa.
As such, the main objectives of the project will entail a complete
solution for MSW in an environmental responsible manner, along with job
creation for community through capacity building and training.
The Geocycle has planned to set up a waste management center for the
purpose of material segregation, where separated biodegradable waste
will be composting, recyclable wastes will be diverted appropriately and
non-recyclable wastes will be sent for co-processing at Puttalum cement
plant.
