The power to KPTCL, has taken the first step towards that goal — composting of wet waste It’s taken more than a decade but the waste-to-energy plant at Kannahalli has finally started working. The plant received 48.695 metric tonnes of wet waste brought by nine garbage compactors on Monday. “The process of converting waste into compost has begun. Converting waste into energy will begin shortly at this plant,’’ said Randeep D, Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike ( BBMP) Special Commissioner (Solid Waste Management). This is significant as plants like these, will not only reduce the burden on the landfills which were incapable of receiving any more waste, but will also produce energy for the power authority. This will also result in savings for the BBMP in managing waste.
