New MRF to come up in Noida

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), HDFC Bank and the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) are setting up a material recovery facility (MRF) to manage up to 300 metric tonnes of dry waste in the city every month.

Funded by the HDFC bank through its corporate social responsibility programme, the MRF will be set up at a cost of Rs 3 crore, reports Devdiscourse.

This is Noida’s first large scale MRF. Last year, GNIDA had announced plans to decentralise solid waste disposal. Thus, several new initiatives are planned as part of that.
