Centre to convert dry waste into energy pellets starts operations in Dakshina Kannada
The Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayat has launched a facility in Kemral to convert non-recyclable dry waste into energy pellets for industrial use. This initiative aims to reduce the high costs associated with transporting waste to distant cement plants.
Why it matters
This project demonstrates a sustainable, cost-effective model for rural waste management and circular economy practices in India.
The Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayat has started operating a centre to produce energy pellets from non-recyclable dry waste in Kemral in Mulky taluk. The initiative does away with the cost-intensive process of baling the dry waste and transporting it to cement units in Belagavi and other places in north Karnataka.
According to Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayat Chief Executive Officer Narwade Vinayak Karbhari, the district has become a pioneer in the country by commissioning such a centre in a rural area.
