Major residential quarters and offices of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), Coimbatore, would soon go in for Wealth Out of Waste (WOW) in association with ITC Limited, said N. Haribabu, Principal General Manager Telecom, BSNL, Coimbatore.
In this connection a demonstration was conducted by Ramky Reclamation and Recycle Limited on Waste Management at the BSNL Staff quarters – NSR Road on Monday. Initially, the project would start on major premises having substantial number of quarters for BSNL staff and in major offices.
Objective
Explaining the objective of this exercise, Mr. Haribabu said that perishable waste, paper waste and plastic waste could be reused through recycling. Recycling of waste has huge environmental and economical benefits.
Through WOW, ITC helps to deal with various issues such as environmental protection, reduction of global warming, improving green cover, reducing landfills, improving ground quality, general health and hygiene.
This would also help in providing cost competitive raw materials to industries. WoW was organising awareness programmes in schools, institutions and homes through its awareness building teams about source segregation of waste.
After a stipulated period of time, the WOW team gets back to collect the waste kept aside by schools, institutions, homes and pays them for recyclable waste collected. At present there are nearly 100 corporate houses supporting WOW besides three lakh houses across South India.
