India’s largest biomedical waste treatment facility exists at the Deonar dumping ground. The 2.1 million dollar plant has been treating waste from approximately 1000 facilities. The centre spread over 4000 square meters of land is run by SMSL Watergrace Products.
8-10 metric tons of biomedical waste is treated per day by this centre which was initiated by the government body, Maharashtra Pollution Control Board towards their campaign of clamping down on companies not adhering to proper disposal of waste.
SMSL Envoclean operates 35 trucks to transport the waste to the fully automated centre on a daily basis. The process of waste disposal includes shredding, autoclave and incineration and exhaust is treated prior to being released to reduce pollution levels.
