Kozhikode: After schools, colleges, and many residential forums in the district, a highflying customer — Calicut International Airport, Karipur — has adopted the waste management method developed by Niravu Vengeri, a residential forum here.
Based on a consultancy agreement entered into by airport authorities and representatives of Niravu Vengeri a couple of months ago, arrangements, including construction of waste segregation sheds, biogas plant, and stocking yard, have been set up on 1.5 acres near the airport. “The work has almost been completed and waste processing has begun. Only the vegetable garden as part of the project is to be readied yet,” K. Peter Abraham, Airport Director, told The Hindu.
The management of waste, including plastic and organic, from the aircraft, airport canteens, and residential quarters, had remained a problem. He said the airport handled over 30 flights and dealt with 15 to 20,000 people, including passengers and visitors, daily. “We were left to manage about 400 to 500 kg of waste everyday,” he said.
