Lucknow
Integrated Solid Waste Processing Facility
A large-scale municipal solid waste processing facility developed to handle mixed waste streams through scientific segregation, biological treatment, and resource recovery tailored to Lucknow’s urban waste profile.
18,000+
Metric tonnes of municipal waste processed and diverted from dumping sites since project implementation.
The project strengthens Lucknow’s waste management ecosystem by reducing landfill dependency, improving environmental quality, and enabling long-term urban sustainability.
Project Overview
The Lucknow project is a comprehensive municipal solid waste management initiative designed to address the city’s rising waste generation, limited disposal capacity, and environmental challenges associated with open dumping.
By deploying integrated processing systems focused on segregation, biological stabilization, and material recovery, the project enables efficient waste handling while maintaining regulatory compliance and operational resilience.
Challenges Identified
Unsegregated Waste Inflow
High proportion of mixed municipal waste resulting in processing inefficiencies, odour issues, and operational constraints.
Legacy Dumping Practices
Dependence on open dumping and limited landfill capacity leading to land degradation and environmental risks.
Scale & Variability
Requirement for systems capable of handling fluctuating waste volumes while maintaining consistent performance.
Our Proven Work Process
Waste Characterization
Detailed assessment of incoming waste to understand composition, moisture levels, and treatment requirements.
Segregation & Conditioning
Mechanical and manual segregation to separate organic, recyclable, and high-calorific-value fractions.
Biological Treatment & Recovery
Processing of organic waste through composting and stabilization while recovering recyclables and RDF.
Monitoring & Compliance
Continuous monitoring of operational performance, emissions, and output quality to meet regulatory norms.
Impact Delivered
Landfill Diversion
Significant reduction in waste sent to dumping grounds, extending landfill life and reducing land degradation.
Emission Reduction
Avoidance of methane emissions through controlled biological processing and elimination of open dumping.
Circular Resource Recovery
Recovery of compost, recyclables, and RDF supporting circular economy and resource efficiency goals.
