A US-based waste management company, Scorpex Company International Limited, plans to invest close to $100 million in Fiji.
The company has been granted a Foreign Investment Registration Certificate by Investment Fiji this week.
Investment Fiji chairman, Adrian Sofield, said the company plans to collect waste on Viti Levu in close liaison with the municipal councils.
“They plan to work with all the city/town councils for waste collection on Viti Levu and have already had meetings with the Lautoka City Council,” he said.
Mr Sofield said the company would incinerate the waste collected rather than dumping it in one of the landfills in Naboro and Lautoka, which would only be used as a back-up.
Investment Fiji also sees the company as a potential to supplying electricity to our national power grid.
“They produce gas and liquid which they can generate electricity,” he said.
“In the process they will generate their own electricity and also contribute to the national grid. So its technology that is relatively new.”
This investment is expected to create at least 200 jobs, says Mr Sofield.
