Waste Disposal Plant at Shreekaryam Market

The waste disposal plant at Shreekaryam market becomes an example at a time when the city cooperation is running around looking for landfills to dispose waste.

Installed in 2006 by the Biotek company , this plant has a capacity to decompose 300kg of waste produced daily at the market and the electricity obtained by the plant is used to light up 28 lamps in and around the market place. The plant was set up in the leadership of the A.P Murali committee, before Shreekaryam grama panchayat was included into the city cooperation. The plant had cost around 12 lakh rupees to be installed in 2006. The market that once used to stink due to waste is now a zero waste zone.

A permanent employee is appointed by the Biotek company itself to look into the waste disposal and the conversion of the same into electricity. The wages for this employee is being paid from an amount set aside from the initial fund collected by the Shreekaryam panchayat. This plant was the first to be setup in the district by the panchayat and taking this into consideration Shreekaryam gramapanchayat had received the “Nirmal” award from the president and “Harida keralam” award from the Manorama.

Isn’t it possible thus to install similar plants in every market place and flats? People should come forward to make this a reality. If the throw away culture is hard to be destroyed then there is nothing that can be done.
