Meghalaya inks deal with cement firm for buying plastic for fuel

The Meghalaya government has signed an agreement with a major cement firm for buying plastic waste to be used as fuel instead of coal for producing clinkers.

CM Conrad K. Sangma made this announcement during an official programme to mark the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.

"It will be a process very much within the control limits of the pollution board,” Mr Sangma said.

Officials said the government would have a similar agreement with the other cement companies if they agree to buy plastic waste.
The Chief Minister said his government wanted Meghalaya to be plastic-free by 2022 when the State will host the National Games.
