TOWARDS A ‘ZERO SOLID WASTE’ CORPORATION

Land filling/dumping of waste, still a common practice in India, poses serious health hazard and environmental degradation.

Our endeavour to recycle all solid wastes generated from our operations is therefore a socially unique and environmentally responsible initiative.

In 2006-07, we were able to reduce total solid wastes to 303,913 tonnes (3.4% less than 314,585 tonnes in 2005-06) in spite of a significant growth in all our businesses.

More than 93% of all solid wastes recycled. 167,913 tonnes of waste paper used as raw material by Paperboards business.
