The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has made significant strides in managing construction and demolition waste through its newly established scientific processing plant in Dahisar. Since its inception, the plant has processed over 16,000 metric tonnes of debris, converting it into reusable materials such as paver blocks, dividers, pavement stones, and benches, the Mumbai civic body said in an official statement on Friday.

Of the 17,600 metric tonnes of debris received at the plant from August 14 to December 18, 16,000 metric tonnes of debris has been scientifically processed, BMC stated.
