Environmentalists claim that the landfill waste disposal system currently being constructed in Noope, Kirindiwela in the Gampaha District will cause immense destruction to the environment.
Environmentalist Ravindra Kariyawasam, National Coordinator of Center for Environmental Studies, said that this system has been rejected by several countries due to this reason.
When Ada Derana inquired Chairman of the Central Environmental Authority (CEA), Charitha Herath in this regard he expressed that there is no basis to the allegations by the environmentalists and accused them of getting facts wrong.
There is not a single country in the world that has rejected this waste disposal system, he pointed out while adding that out of all existing scientific methods for final waste disposal, this is the most appropriate system.
