Initiatives
Over the years, we have refined our processes to not just enhance the
quality of our paper, but also leveraged responsible practices to protect
the quality of the environment.
Some of the initiatives that the Company has actively embarked
upon, as part of a sustained environment programme include:
|
|
An Institutionalised 3R (reduce, recycle and
reuse) Program in line with International benchmarks.
This is delivered by an optimal use of raw material resources, and
a responsible waste management program. We continue to test this
integrated environment management systems through rigorous internal
audits. We also continue to benchmark various practices across our
facilities in line with the demanding requirements of international
certifications.
BILT is driving this initiative through one of the
largest investments of its kind in India, These investments are
being made in process technologies, ligning reduction initiatives,
augmentation of effluent treatment, superior gas evacuation processes
and various in-the-pipe and end-of-pipe processes and technologies.

Our subsidiary
– BILT Tech Tree Ltd. is engaged in a concerted program with
marginal farmers to develop a sustainable raw-material base on wastelands.
It is a win-win partnership that goes beyond statutory requirements
and which protects collective interests through assured buy-back
arrangements, while accelerating the conversation of degraded marginal
lands into a rich, productive forestry resource for the country.
This collaborative farm forestry scheme is now an industry model
for the following reasons:
|
|
It is channelising high quality
planting stock at subsidized cost and offering free of cost
technical guidance to farmers |
|
|
It is generating an increasing supply
of precious raw material, augmenting recurring income for over
13,000 farmers, |
|
|
Reversing soil erosion
in around 16,000 hectares of greened area across six states
and helping to reconcile commercial and environment interests |
