Waste Disposal
In FY14 & 15, we recycled 28.4% and 30% of the total waste generated respectively
and sent the rest to secured landfills or for offsite incineration. We initiated upcycling of
organic hazardous waste to cement industries in FY08. During FY14, 85.41% of the
organic waste went to cement plants for recycling, while in FY15 it increased
to 86.89%.

Key Highlights | FY14 & 15
 
Total Hazardous Waste Generated (MT)
 
 
Total Hazardous Waste Disposed (MT)
The total hazardous waste disposed
decreased by 10% in FY14 over the
previous year due to improved
recycling of organic waste to the
cement industry, while FY15 saw an
increase of 8% in disposal compared
to FY14 due to additional ETP and
chemical sludge disposal.
 
Specific Hazardous Waste Disposed MT/ Unit Sale (mn)
The specific hazardous waste disposed decreased by 21% in FY14 compared
to previous year due to better waste
management, but marginally increased
by 4.4% in FY15 due to change in the
product mix.
  Total Non-hazardous Waste Disposed
Total non-hazardous waste disposed
decreased in FY14 by 10% compared
to the previous year due to outsourcing
of canteens. In FY15 disposal of non-
hazardous waste increased by 15% as
against FY14, due to commissioning of
additional facilities
