Singapore-based Blue Planet Environmental Solutions is set to build the world’s largest waste processing facility at Kodungaiyur in North Chennai, in collaboration with the Greater Chennai Corporation. The project aims to remove a massive 66 lakh cubic metres of garbage through bio-mining, bringing major improvements to public health and the local environment, reports Projects Today.
The Kodungaiyur dumpyard, which has been a source of pollution and health hazards for decades, will be fully cleared and restored under the initiative.
“We’re working to completely remove the landfill from this area. In about three years, residents won’t have to see this garbage mound again,” said Prashant Singh, co-founder and CEO of Blue Planet Environmental Solutions.
The project also includes efforts to convert agricultural waste, such as paddy stubble, into compressed biogas (CBG), in partnership with local farmers. This move not only supports clean energy production but also helps curb the practice of stubble burning, a key cause of air pollution in many parts of the country.
