About the Project:

The Material Recovery Facility (MRF) at Ahmedabad runs on a public private partnership (PPP) model between Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) and Nepra Resource Management Pvt. Ltd. Land for the facility is provided by AMC on a lease rent of Rs 2/Sq. m per year. The facility is designed, built, financed, owned and operated by Nepra Resource Management. The daily sorting capacity of dry waste of the plant is around 100 MT. More than 20 vehicles are deployed for collection of waste from various locations in the city through a cloud-based technology to ensure transparency in scheduled pick up. Through this cloud-based technology, clients are informed about the quantity of waste collected, and the commodity and carbon emission mitigated by these. Dry Waste is collected with the help of waste pickers and through collection vehicles and brought to the material recovery facility (MRF) where it is manually segregated into various categories and passed through a stringent quality check to meet the requirement and standards of the recyclers. The segregated waste is then sold to the authorized recyclers. The employed waste pickers are also provided with personal protective equipment like-helmet, mask, safety shoes, dress etc. The best employees of the month are also presented with token of appreciation to keep up the motivation.
