India's first Integrated Waste Management City-cum-Learning Centre is set to be built in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, by September 2025. The project aims to make the city garbage-free by implementing a circular economy model for sustainable waste management. Spread across 40 acres, it will process various waste types, producing charcoal and Bio-CNG. The initiative is expected to create jobs, enhance revenue, and provide technical expertise. The project includes three plants: a 500-tonne Dry Waste Plant, a 200-tonne Wet Waste Plant, and a Hazardous Waste Plant. The initiative will also serve eight nearby urban local bodies, promoting regional sustainability.
