VALUE THROUGH INNOVATION

During the reporting period, we have reduced hard waste, a waste
produced in winding process by 11.5 % (from 0.52 % to 0.46%) by
upgrading equipment software and better management. We plan to
reduce to 0.35% by the end of FY 17.
In the last report, we discussed about re-use of wooden pallets and we
are effectively continuing to carry out this activity through reclaiming
with cooperation from our valued environment conscious customers.
In addition, we have introduced plastic tubes in open end machines.
These are also reclaimed from our domestic customers and recycled.
In the reporting period, we have reclaimed 58.80 MT of Plastic Tubes.
The automatic carton packing machine was originally designed for
using 15 micron size plastic sheets. We found that there is scope to
reduce the size of the plastic sheets. So, we put our in house resources
and modified the machine so that it can use 8 micron size plastic sheet.
Through this modification, we have reduced plastic sheets consumption
in the automatic packing machine by about 50%

We are constantly exploring the new
developments in packaging materials and
adopting the ones best suitable to us. Hence
packaging material consumption might change
in future. Our consumption of chemicals
continue to be negligible. There has been no
significant change in procurement of chemicals
and in management of chemicals.
The waste we generate has a direct impact on our triple bottom line
i.e Environment, Economic and Social. If handled properly, it reduces
environmental footprint, improves our societal relations and adds to
economic value through reduction in disposal costs and saving in raw
material costs.
