The weighty responsibility lies with us,\u201d Mnangagwa said.<\/p>\n<p>Geo Pomona Waste Management chairperson and chief executive Dilesh Nguwaya said the former Pomona dumpsite, which had posed environmental hazards, had been transformed to a model of environmental preservation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGeo Pomona\u2019s rapid response to these hazards has set a new standard for waste management in the region,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Nguwaya said the company\u2019s comprehensive waste management strategy included the construction of a sorting plant designed to separate recyclables from non-recyclables.<\/p>\n<p>Recyclable waste is sold to recycling companies, while non-recyclable combustible materials are incinerated in a waste-to-energy plant, generating between 16MW and 22MW of electricity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Zimbabwe Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
