Clean Kerala Company (CKC), an agency under the Department of Local Self-Government aimed at comprehensive management of all harmful rejections in the State, is galloping towards record turnover during the ongoing fiscal ending March 31.
Addressing an investors’ meet of recycling industries here on Thursday, Kabeer B. Haroon, managing director, expected the CKC to post a turnover in the range of ₹1.50 crore during the fiscal.
In the first two years since its formation in 2013, the company had posted ₹45 lakh and ₹95 lakh respectively. “We have so far collected 300 tonnes of electronic waste from across the State and despatched it to the recycling unit at Hyderabad. Similarly, 198 tonnes of plastic waste had been collected from municipalities in the State for recycling,” Mr. Haroon said.
He said the newly reconstituted board of the CKC has assigned it the role of facilitator laisoning between the investors in waste management and various departments in setting up waste treatment and recycling plants.
