“I have a strong emotional connection to my office, which feels like a second home to me. One of the greatest confidence-building actions is empowering me to make my own decisions and act accordingly, something that is possible only in this organisation. Despite being the only woman in the entire division, I never felt alone among the male members. I have always been treated with respect, and have never experienced any bias or insecurity while working here.”
The residents in Kalyani Nagar have set up a Resource Recycling Centre (RRC) at the civic playground located in the area. At the centre, waste materials are segregated into nine different categories, namely, paper, cardboard, plastic, glass, broken glass, ewaste, metal, tetra pack and thermocole. Citizens can drop off their waste on the weekends and the collected material is handed over to responsible recyclers. When RRC found out about RecyCole, they asked us to become their thermocole waste recycling partner. Over the last three years, we have collected approximately 4.5 tonnes of EPS waste material from this centre.
Golde Automotive India Private Limited, a major automotive OEM that manufactures roof systems, was facing an issue with the disposal of their EPS packaging. This organisation imports glass for their sunroofs from China on a regular basis, which leads to copious amounts of Thermocole waste. Our team was able to successfully identify the company’s predicament and offer immediate support in terms of multiple collections of EPS waste from their plant every week. Over the last 2 years, we have successfully collected and recycled 10 tonnes of EPS waste, contributing significantly to reducing the OEM’s carbon footprint.
