Kochi
Integrated Municipal Solid Waste Processing Facility
A decentralized municipal solid waste processing facility designed to handle mixed urban waste streams through scientific segregation, biological treatment, and material recovery systems.
13,000
Metric tonnes of municipal waste scientifically processed and diverted from landfills since commissioning.
The project supports Kochi’s transition toward sustainable urban waste management by reducing landfill dependency, lowering emissions, and improving public health outcomes.
Project Overview
The Kochi project represents a large-scale implementation of integrated municipal solid waste management focused on segregation, biological processing, and resource recovery. Designed to address the city’s growing waste volumes and limited landfill capacity, the facility enables efficient handling of mixed municipal waste under real urban conditions.
By combining decentralized processing infrastructure with continuous monitoring systems, the project delivers measurable environmental impact while ensuring operational stability, regulatory compliance, and long-term sustainability.
Challenges Identified
Mixed Waste Streams
High levels of unsegregated municipal waste leading to processing inefficiencies, odour issues, and environmental risks.
Landfill Saturation
Limited landfill capacity and reliance on open dumping, resulting in land degradation and greenhouse gas emissions.
Operational Scalability
Requirement for a system capable of handling variable waste volumes without compromising efficiency or compliance.
Our proven Work Process
Waste Assessment & Characterization
Detailed analysis of incoming waste to determine composition, moisture content, and appropriate processing pathways.
Segregation & Pre-processing
Mechanical and manual segregation to separate organic, recyclable, and high-calorific-value waste fractions.
Biological Processing & Recovery
Organic waste treated through composting and stabilization, while recyclables and RDF are recovered for downstream use.
Monitoring & Compliance
Continuous monitoring of operations, emissions, and output quality to meet regulatory and environmental standards.
Impact Delivered
Landfill Diversion
Substantial reduction in waste sent to landfills, extending landfill life and reducing environmental burden.
Emission Reduction
Avoidance of methane emissions through controlled processing and elimination of open dumping practices.
Circular Resource Recovery
Conversion of waste into compost, recyclables, and RDF, supporting circular economy objectives.
