Re Sustainability (ReSL) and the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) have jointly inaugurated India’s most advanced and Kolkata’s first Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste recycling plant in New Town, Kolkata. Spread across 5 acres, this state-of-the-art facility has a capacity of 1,600 tonnes per day and will transform C&D waste into recycled aggregates, bricks, and tiles. The plant will drive circularity in the construction sector and revolutionise Kolkata’s waste management system. The facility’s launch is a significant development stimulus in the country’s C&D waste management efforts.<\/p>\n
The project, worth INR 400 million, is part of Re Sustainability’s #CloseTheLoop initiative, and is the latest addition to their series of recycling facilities nationwide. According to a report by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), India recycles only 1 percent of its C&D waste. With six functional C&D facilities already in place, Re Sustainability strives to make this new recycling plant in Kolkata a crucial development in the country’s C&D waste management efforts.<\/p>\n
The diverse and culturally rich city of Kolkata, with a strategic location as a corridor to the North-East, attracts FDIs and real estate investments, producing nearly 1,600 tonne of C&D waste daily. However, the vast majority of this waste is left uncollected and scattered throughout the city, according to a KMC and Re Sustainability survey. The landfill of Dhapa has been drowning in the city’s waste for years, but now, with the launch of the C&D waste recycling plant, a new era of sustainable waste management has begun.<\/p>\n
The facility will stop chaotic and unregulated waste management processes, bringing strategic advantages such as reducing environmental impact, conserving landfill space, and meeting the construction industry’s demand for eco-friendly materials. As the city embraces upcoming advancements in waste management, it has the potential to improve its sustainable image and become a cleaner and more environmentally friendly place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
