Palampur, June 3
The Army authorities at Holta cantonment, adjoining Palampur, have set up a eco-friendly zero waste-generation garbage treatment plant. This plant has been designed with scientific composting technique and waste disposal methods. The plant requires segregation of waste at source.
The waste collected in the plant is categorised under biodegradable waste and recyclable waste of different categories. After processing in the incineration unit, only non-recyclable and non-compostable waste is left.
The main highlight of the plant is that a smokeless waste incinerator has been installed that uses a special air rotating technology, in which a large quantity of solid waste can be burnt to ash within minutes, by effectively regulating air supply without using any fuel or electricity.
Brig AK Singh said a similar project had been successfully running at Khasa, Amritsar, from past two years.
