Kanjur Waste Processing Facility Green Buffer and Air Monitoring Project

planned

Mumbai's civic administration has initiated an environmental mitigation plan around the Kanjur waste processing complex to reduce odour complaints and improve urban waste management. The project includes creating a large green buffer zone of nearly one lakh square metres with thousands of trees for dust absorption, pollution mitigation, and odour reduction. It also involves relocating sections of the waste sorting and processing site to increase separation from residential areas, expanded use of enzyme-based chemical sprays, enhanced misting systems, deployment of monitoring teams for overnight surveillance, a dedicated control room for peak odour periods, and continuous air-quality monitoring stations with public displays.
