This new C&D plant, equipped with a processing capacity to handle up to 500 tonnes of waste,will help the city build up its waste recycling capabilities to address the long-standing issue of construction debris dumping on roadsides, open plots, and other places. While it will be a relief to the city which will clear lot of road side heaps and heaps in parks and open places in the city, it is able to recycle and recover more than 90% of the materials collected. We at RamkyEnviro are proud to partner with GHMC in inaugurating this plant for the city of Hyderabad”
