The state mission had dealt with 160 biogas plant projects. This year, the state mission has just nine biogas plants. However, officials say that there are many more biogas plant projects at district-level offices of Suchitwa Mission. Some district offices have around 70 biogas plant projects, according to officials. The mission has been focussing on establishing Material Recovery Facilities (MRF) across the state to manage inorganic waste. Last year, 74 MRF facilities, 31 plastic shredding units and 54 Thumboormuzhi aerobic bin units were established. In addition, 62 MRF facilities and 23 Resource Recovery Centres (RRC) were inaugurated on November 1. The foundation stone for 26 MRF and 3 RRC was laid on the day.
