MCD Invites Bids for Biomining

21 Mar 2024 CW Team

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has initiated the process of inviting bids for biomining at the silt dumping site in Singhola. This move comes as part of the corporation's efforts to address the issue of waste management in the city. Biomining is a process that involves the extraction of valuable materials from waste through biological processes.

The silt dumping site in Singhola has been a focal point for waste management challenges in Delhi. Over time, the accumulation of silt and other waste materials has posed environmental and health hazards to the surrounding areas. In response, the MCD is exploring biomining as a sustainable solution to mitigate these issues.

Biomining offers several benefits compared to traditional waste management methods. It is a more environmentally friendly approach that utilises natural processes to recover resources from waste materials. By implementing biomining at the Singhola site, the MCD aims to reduce the volume of waste while recovering valuable materials that can be reused or recycled.

The bidding process initiated by the MCD is open to companies and organisations with expertise in biomining and waste management. Interested parties are invited to submit their proposals for the implementation of biomining operations at the Singhola site. The selected bidder will be responsible for designing and executing the biomining process in accordance with environmental regulations and best practices.

The introduction of biomining at the Singhola silt dumping site marks a significant step towards sustainable waste management in Delhi. By harnessing the potential of biological processes, the MCD aims to address the challenges posed by waste accumulation while promoting resource recovery and environmental conservation.
