The National Institute of Technology-Calicut (NIT-C) is expected to submit its report soon on the volume of old waste that remains to be bio-mined at the Kochi Corporation landfill in Brahmapuram.
“The agency has already conducted a drone survey for this purpose and the report may be available as early as this week,” Mayor VK Minimol said. This is the second time that NIT-C has been approached with a similar task. In its earlier assessment, it found an additional 1.46 million tons of old waste beyond the 7 million tons originally calculated for biomining.
