will implement the innovative ‘bubble curtain’ technology for the first time in India to stop plastic from entering the Yamuna river. A bubble curtain is a non-invasive solution to stop plastic from entering the oceans. “Geocycle’s approach to river plastic cleaning is distinct from other river clean-up projects which rely on landfilling or incineration. “These two technologies - bubble curtain and co-processing combined - offer a good opportunity to fight the challenge of marine litter by tackling the problem at the source," he added. The plastic waste extracted from the canal will be taken to a Municipal Solid Waste treatment and Materials Recovery Facility.
