Adani Cement has unveiled 'Geoclean', its waste management arm, with a renewed focus on creating a circular economy and conserving natural resources.
Geoclean, formerly known as Geocycle, will provide agricultural, industrial and public/municipal waste management solutions that are both sustainable and innovative.
Processing the waste from these industries together ensures energy recovery and material recycling from the waste, without leaving any residues. Geoclean also strives to conserve natural resources by replacing traditional fuels with alternative fuels and raw materials.
It hopes to increase the thermal substitution rate for ACC and Ambuja Cements to 30 percent by 2027 by processing approximately 3.7 million tons of alternative fuels together, up from 6 percent last year. The thermal substitution rate represents the portion of energy provided by alternative fuels.
Geoclean has built 14 co-processing facilities in India around Adani Cement's AFR storage areas, feed facilities and laboratories. It also plans to remove 2,400 tons of plastic waste per year from the Mantola Canal in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, using its new bubble barrier technology.
To clean up plastic waste from the water body, a similar technology is being used at BBMB Lake in Sundernagar district of Mandi, Himachal Pradesh. The plastic collected from these bodies of water is taken to recycling facilities for further processing.
