Kochi: The Kerala Sastra Sahitya Parishat has asked the government to drop the plans to set up waste-to-energy plants across the state. According to the KSSP, small decentralised plants and centralised facility to recycle plastic waste and minimising the quantity of garbage generated are the effective methods for solid waste management.
The 56th annual conference of KSSP held in Pathanamthitta observed that the Local Self-Government Department’s order on June 11, 2018 to set up modern waste-to-energy plants (WTE) in the state was against the government’s earlier policy favouring decentralised treatment system.
