A new scheme to dispose of non-hazardous solid waste was formally launched at the BOI’s Biyagama Export Processing Zone (BEPZ) at its Material Recovery Centre (MRC). Participating at the event were Executive Director (Zones) M K D Lawrence, Holcim’s INSEE Geocycle General Manager Sanjeewa Chulakumara and MAS Capital Ltd. Environmental Sustainability Director Sharika Senanayake.

A competitive bidding procedure was initiated and INSEE Geocycle of Holcim was selected as the party to dispose of the remaining waste.

Under the new solid waste disposal scheme, the non-hazardous industrial waste that has accumulated at the MRC will be disposed of in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner by a third party. This will be done after authorised waste collections of the Zone have selected and removed the waste components that can be re-used or re-cycled.

The introduction of this new scheme reflects the BOI’s commitment to continually uphold high environmental standards.
