Dear Ranjith,first of all i should congratulate you for taking the waste management issue fir India.I have been involved in this area for the last 20 years and woked on grass root level.As mentioned in the article of incineration plant working since 2011 in delhi,but at what environmental cost and human health cost,can any such facility work in US .Hence there is serious need to evaaluate the technology frromholistic view point.There are legal cases pending befor National green tribunal (NGT) against the company ,let us wait for the final out come.Another pertinet question is the inherent calorific content of the waste,which is quite low in indian wastes,hence incineration,without supplementing some additional material,is quite impossible.The moment you add any thing addtional to augar the calorific content of the waste, should be transparent and if look at the dioxins and furan levels of incinerationplnt at delhi ,are many fold high than usual.
