The facility connects all manufacturing units to collect, segregate and treat waste. “We have provided waste collection points at each industrial plot which are connected with the automated waste plant via pipes. We have separate pipes and collection points for dry and wet waste. The plant has the capacity to segregate and recycle waste,” said Surendra Singh, chief executive officer, Greater Noida authority. “We will also produce methane gas at the plant that can be used to produce electricity for the township. We will not discharge any kinds of waste into the soil with the help of this plant,” he added. The authority has also set up a sewage treatment plant (STP) to treat the wastewater and recycle the same, officials said. “This township is first of its kind and will work on plug-and-play mode.
