The Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC) has signed a MoU with UltraTech cement to generate refuse-derived fuel (RDF) at its cement kilns. The transport of dry waste from the VMC’s recycling unit at Ajit Singh Nagar to the UltraTech cement factory in Jaggayyapet has already begun.
The MoU is valid for a year and requires the cement factory to accept 50 metric tonnes (MT) of dry waste every day from the VMC. Post the expiry of the MoU, the corporation will transport the waste to Jindal Waste Management Ltd (JWML) in Guntur.
The New Indian Express reports that the corporation will segregate the waste, while the cement factory will be responsible for its transportation.
