Electricity from Industrial Waste…..
Sunbird’s first batch of industrial waste was delivered to the Western Thermal Power Plant in Kerawalapitiya today (21-08-2026) for electricity generation.
As per our buy-back policy, around one ton of polyurethane, which was recovered from the recycling of old Sunbird hot water systems that were no longer usable, was delivered to generate heat to generate electricity.
Without proper procedures for the disposal of used polyurethane, when burned, it releases carbon monoxide, a highly toxic and carcinogenic gas, into the environment.
Sunbird, which always supports environmentally friendly activities, is interested in the proper disposal of industrial waste at a certain cost.
