Vedanta unveiled the new facility on Saturday, April 22, to commemorate Earth Day. The facility segregates and processes waste into useful materials. In March 2023, it processed 27,828 kg of dry and wet waste, and generated recyclable materials like bio-compost and briquettes, which are mainly useful for horticulture activities.

Any non-recyclable waste materials Vedanta sends to cement industries for co-processing, promoting a circular economy within India’s manufacturing landscape.

The material recovery facility has contained over 34,820 kg of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions and saved around 48,735 kWh of energy, which can power 100 LED-TVs for 6090 hours, 100 laptops for 8120 hours, and 1000 LED bulbs for 6090 hours.

Vedanta is committed to building a sustainable future where business and planet are in perfect harmony.
