CADMIUM IN SOLID WASTE _ NOTICE TO BE SENT TO COCACOLA
TheKerala State pollution control board has decided to send show
cause notice to Cocacola Company Plachimada since no explanation
has been receiving from Cocacola, about disposal of Cadmium found
in the solid waste from the plant.
The decision was taken on the request, for renewing the licence,
from the company which expired on Dec.2004. The demand of the
pollution control Board to explain ,the reason, with in 15 days for
not preventing the function of the company.
The company has failed to implement the directives of the pollution
control board on the disposal of the haxardous waste and also has
failed to give a satisfactory explanation to the Board. It has not
been implemented the Reverse Osmosis, to clean the waste wated,
even though the Board has instructed it.
The presence of Cadmium in the Solid waste along with waste water
has been detected in the labtest by theKPCB. It is believed that
cadmium is either used in the process of Cocacola or may be a bi-
product formed in the process. But the company has no explanation
regarding the formation of Cadmium or the method to eliminate it.
That is the main reason fohr rejecting the application of the company
to renew the licence.
A technical error in the applications has also been pointed out in
the notice. As per rules the preson authenticated to run the plant
is entitled to submit the applications. But here, the plantmanager
has submitted the application .It is to be noted that plant manager
is not an authenticated official.Having considering all the above,
the kpcb has decided to sent the notice to HCBL.The decision to
issue showcause notice was after the serious consultation with
eminent Lawyers and legal experts by KPCB.. It is known that the
notice would be send within two days to the coke .
