'Plans on waste welcomed'<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): The Governor said he would approve any plan to
\ncooperate with the city in waste management, as long as it did
\nnot burden the city.<\/p>\n
Assistant to the city secretary in charge of economic and
\ndevelopment affairs, Prawoto S. Danoemihardjo, said the Governor
\nwould also approve plans to recycle garbage into building
\nmaterials.<\/p>\n
He was speaking after a meeting between the governor and a
\nprivate foundation for retired soldiers, Yayasan Rehabilitasi
\nPrajurit Utama Seroja (Veteran's Foundation).<\/p>\n
The foundation proposes to cooperate with Canada's Urban
\nResources Technologies Incorporation to recycle city garbage.<\/p>\n
Surjadi Soedirdja had not made a decision on the proposal,
\nPrawoto said.<\/p>\n
"The governor said there should be a serious study before
\nstarting garbage recycling cooperations," Prawoto said after the
\nmeeting.<\/p>\n
The joint venture would open a recycling factory with the
\ncapacity to recycle two million cubic meters of garbage a day in
\nPluit, North Jakarta. The Canadian firm's recycling technology
\nwould be used to process garbage into building materials, like
\nbricks.<\/p>\n
Earlier Surjadi denied any knowledge of plans for a private
\nMalaysian firm, Bescorp Industries, to manage city waste. (ste)<\/p>",
