Green waste plant aims to reduce dumping in Delhi

Delhi has inaugurated its first green waste processing plant near ITO.

The facility is designed to process horticulture waste such as branches, leaves and shrubs generated across different parts of the city.

Officials said the plant will convert the collected waste into compost, which can then be reused for landscaping and plantation activities across Delhi, reported The Times of India.

The initiative is expected to reduce dumping of green waste in open areas, lower transportation requirements and prevent clogging of drains, particularly during the monsoon season.

Authorities said the project forms part of ongoing efforts to improve waste management systems and strengthen environmental infrastructure in the capital.
