At L&T, we have recognised effective waste management as a key part of environment management. We reduce, reuse and recycle waste generated at our project sites to cut down our carbon footprint. We have measures in place to eliminate and contain spills and regularly report on waste and spills as part of ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 compliance. At L&T, we conduct periodic assessments internally and with independent auditors, to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.

Producing eco-friendly fly ash bricks for use at site
L&T’s Water & Effluent Treatment business recycled waste fly ash into bricks at its project site at IT City, Mohali. Over 0.7 million fly ash bricks were produced on site, through an eco-friendly process that does not require coal. The bricks were used to construct electrical chambers, foundations and gully chambers.
Waste to Worth
At Darlipali in Odisha, L&T Power recycles waste concrete cubes to prepare the foundation of testing machines, boundary walls, material stacking at fabrication yard, and more. The site cast 7,000 sets with six cubes each as per the contract, which are rendered as waste after compression testing. This initiative eliminated wastage and met infrastructure needs without added environmental or financial impact.
