We are increasingly using Green Chemistry at the design stage to reduce or eliminate waste right at the source, and continually improving our processes to prevent waste generation and encourage its reuse, recycling, and responsible disposal. Our Waste Management Hierarchy Hazardous Waste Waste Description Generated from Reuse/Recycle/Disposal Waste oil & Used oil Utilities Reuse - Authorised oil re-processers Used lead acid batteries Utilities Reuse - Returned to manufacturer Spent catalyst Manufacturing Reuse - Returned to manufacturer for recovery Detoxified containers Manufacturing Reuse - To authorised agencies Process organic residues Manufacturing Recycled in cement plants to use as Auxiliary fuel Spent carbon Manufacturing Repurposed in cement plants as Auxiliary fuel Spent acids/ Spent caustic Manufacturing Recycled through authorised agencies Discarded & off specification medicines Manufacturing Offsite incineration Forced evaporation mixed salts Effluent treatment Disposed in secured landfill ETP Sludge Effluent Treatment Disposed in secured landfill Incinerator Ash Incineration Disposed in secured landfill   Non-hazardous Waste Waste Description Generated from Reuse/Recycle/Disposal Garden waste Gardening Recycle - Composting Canteen waste Canteen Recycle - Composting Boiler ash Utilities Recycling through brick manufacture Office paper waste Office Recycling through ITC-WOW
