Waste Management

GTL works hard to manage its waste efficiently and cost effectively. By reducing the waste we not only create but also increase the amount we reuse or recycle.

The types of waste & their disposal are given below

	Paper Waste - Unusable waste papers are shredded and sent to paper mills for recycling.

	Used DG Oil - The hazardous waste generated from DG sets is in the form of lube oil. Used lube oil is disposed off to CPCB / MOEF authorized recyclers

	Used Lead Batteries - Used and non-rechargeable batteries are stored in a specified location under controlled conditions and given to CPCB / MOEF authorized recyclers

	Bio-degradable Canteen Waste - Dry and Wet waste generated out of canteen activities are disposed in NMMC waste bins which then goes for land filling.

	The company is also going in for installing Organic Waste Converter to comprehensively process all kinds of organic wastes

	E-waste management - GTL has donated about 250 used PCs to our foundation for the purpose of imparting computer literacy in rural India.

	Plastic Waste - Plastics Bags are strictly prohibited in GTL.

Recharging

To make a positive impact in greening up the world that we live in, GTL undertakes various internal and external environmental initiatives.

:: Plantation

GTL has carried out an aggressive greening program around the plant’s vicinity because we believe in restoring to nature that we take from it. Over the years the company has planted more than 2000 trees. Free saplings are distributed to employees to improve the environmental quality. We have developed a garden in the land leased by MIDC opposite to our office. We have developed garden in an area of 1796 sq meter. About 1800 sq. meters of the land are covered by green foliage which besides making the campus green also acts as carbon sink.
