Delhi starts recycling
ball rolling
The PublicWorks Department of the city of Delhi, India, has
issued tender inviting global bids for the establishment of
construction and demolition waste recycling facilities. The
Department has identified four potential sites for the new facilities:
Libaspur; near theNizamuddin Bridge; Tikri Kalan and Kapashara.
Each will have the capacity to process 150 tonnes of waste a day,
with the Department providing the land while the successful bidder
will bear the construction cost on a PPPmodel.
The contract will initially be for a three year period and will be
awarded to bidders who offer the greatest return. It is estimated
that each plant should be able to produce 30,000 bricks from
the recycled waste permonth, at a value of 750,000 rupees
(US$12,200). If the plants are underused, the bidder will be
expected to pay a fee for the land. The plants are expected
to operational byMarch 2015 and will operate to European
standards.
Currently some 300 tonnes of construction and demolition
waste are produced by the PWD and other agencies per day,
and this is currently simply dumped along withmaterial produced
from the activities of others by the roadside or along the Yamuna
riverbed.
