Chandigarh: Composting Factory at the Dadumajra Waste Management Plant in 2017 processes only 80 to 90 metric tons (MT) wet waste or kitchen on capacity of 300 metric tons.
MC has now decided to increase its processing capacity.

That we can Simultaneously prepared details for a holistic increase from solid waste management in the city, “said MC KK Yadav commissioner to Ti.
“When a composting factory and the machine is there, we hope it will be upgraded earlier than waste to the energy factory,” he added.
Yadav said the Jaypee group claimed to process 300MT wet waste but the reality of land was different.
“It emerged that the company was processing around 60 to 70 MT, which we tried to carry between 80 and 90 MT, which is the current status, and therefore, it needs improvement and improvement,” said Yadav.
Composting factories are arranged after NGT has asked the company in 2017 to install it at any cost to process waste.
The court has also directed the MC rather than not intervening in the functioning of the company and has formed a special committee to monitor the work.
The company has claimed in 2017 that the compost plant project has cost almost Rs 5 Crore.
