Sri Lankan officials have enlisted Danish consultancy COWI to provide solutions to the country's unsustainable waste practices in the western region, CPHPost Online reported.
“Sri Lanka is located in the middle of the Indian Ocean, which in recent years has become the new epicentre for global growth,” Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka is quoted as saying in a recent dialogue with Dansk Industri.
“At the same time, Sri Lanka is one of Asia’s most peaceful countries with well-developed democracy and investment-friendly legislation that provides easy access to the surrounding markets in China and India.”
“Long-term thinking is needed,” explained COWI marketing director Carsten Skov to DI Business.
“We must establish a waste disposal site according to a modern model, find a suitable place that may be somewhat further away than people are used to, and create a system for collecting and transporting the waste there.”
