‘Clean Tech’ to take over waste management in major UP cities

Clean Tech, a Finnish company, is set to take over waste management in major UP cities, including Lucknow. The state government and the company signed a memorandum of understanding in this regard. In addition to investing approximately $2 million in the state's waste management, the company may also construct a new waste disposal facility in Lucknow. According to a representative of the Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC), AVS Group oversees the company's operations in India.

The Clean Tech team visited the Shivri plant earlier. Information regarding the plant's operation and feasibility was exchanged during a meeting with the municipal commissioner.

The company's chief executive officer then met with top officials from the state's urban development department and the state's urban development minister, Arvind Sharma.

After that, the company gave a presentation on its action plan for working on waste management in UP cities, and the memorandum of understanding was signed.

"It is clear that now this company will undertake waste management work in the city," stated Municipal Commissioner Inderjeet Singh. It will be the third business to take on this job. The company, like the previous ones, will only collect waste from door to door and dispose of it at the plant. The LMC will sweep the roads.

He stated, "Clean Tech has signed an agreement with the state government to invest in waste management." The new company will be given responsibility for the work as soon as the government issues an order.

According to LMC officials, garbage removal from Shivri will take a year.

At the Shivri plant, there is so much garbage that getting rid of it might take more than a year. The equipment there is also old. Arvind Rao, an additional municipal commissioner, stated, "Clean Tech can set up a new plant in such a situation."

According to Singh, the company's proposal will be implemented in accordance with government orders. Land will be provided for the company's new plant, he added.

Under the JNNURM scheme for scientific waste disposal, the city's waste management plan was approved in 2007, and the waste management plant at Shivri went into operation in 2012. Jyoti Envirotech, a city-based company, was initially given the task of managing waste. Ecogreen Energy, a Chinese business, was given this duty in 2017. Additionally, it functioned well for two years before failing to perform as intended. At the Shivri plant, a mountain of 20 lakh metric tons of trash has resulted.
