"Total waste generated was 6,652 tons.  Summary of our performance on solid waste management (SWM)

Organic Waste: Our goal is to maintain or better our current inhouse recycling rate of 80%. Inorganic Waste: Close to 100% of the waste is recycled through approved partners.  65% of the total mixed solid waste and scrap (7% of total waste generated) is currently recycled and the rest sent to landfills. Our target is to improve this to 80% by 2021. Biomedical and hazardous waste is incinerated as per approved methods. All our E-waste is currently recycled by approved vendors. Construction and Demolition (C&D) debris,  which amounts to 24% of total waste is currently sent to approved landfills. C&D debris has shown an increase over the last 2 reporting years due to higher number of renovations in older campuses.

Others:  We monitor diesel generator stack emissions (NOX, SOX  and SPM),  indoor air quality (CO,  CO2,  VOC’s,  RSPM), treated  water  quality  and  ambient noise levels  across  25  key locations every month.  These meet the specified regulatory norms.

Collaborative Engagements

We started working with partners for certain categories of waste where the recycler ecosystem has not matured – thermocol,  styrofoam,  used oil.  The revised operating procedures and recycler requirements for electronic end-oflife  products  enable  better  materials  recovery,  traceability and disclosure of downstream recycler practices.  We will continue to work with our partners and vendors in driving better practices and behaviours keeping in mind both human and ecological impacts of any changes.

We continue to work with Electronic City Industrial  Township Authority (ELCITA) in Bengaluru on SWM issues. We continue to be part of the sub-committee on ‘Waste’ in the CII National Environment Committee. We are associated with “Reimagine Waste”  hackathon for the past two years,  being conducted in association with Indian Institute of Science,  Bengaluru, Waste  Ventures and other partners."

Have updated source to correct 2017 report

BRR directs to p.62 in the annual report but no mention of product recycling - focus of that page on waste recyling.
