10. Briefly describe the waste management practices adopted in your establishments. Describe the strategy adopted by your company to reduce usage of hazardous and toxic chemicals in your products and processes and the practices adopted to manage such wastes.
Hazardous and non-hazardous Waste generated at all locations is collected and segregated separately as per
its characteristics in line with Waste Management Rules for specific wastes. Plastic waste is mainly disposed
through co-processing by the Company and a very small quantity through authorised scrap dealers. Bio-medical
waste is disposed through incineration of bio-medical waste at authorised Common Biomedical Waste Treatment
Facilities. E-waste and battery waste is recycled through authorised recyclers. Hazardous waste is mainly coprocessed in cement kiln and the quantity which cannot be co-processed is sent to common incinerator.
The cement manufacturing process does not generate much hazardous wastes. It mainly consists of waste lubricating oils which are co-processed in cement kilns.
Through the co-processing technology, the Company provides a ‘Zero Landfill’ solution that doesn’t create any
additional emission and in addition avoids soil contamination, water and air pollution coming from landfill sites,recovering energy and minerals from the waste materials.
Geoclean helps ACL contribute to safe waste management solutions in industries and municipalities and increase
the utilisation of alternative fuels in cement kilns. The Company has been building up stakeholders’ awareness on these issues through its advocacy in appropriate forums
