Paper Recycling Unit P ower Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGC), a Navratna Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) is committed to the goal of sustainable development and conservation of nature and natural resources. As part
of its sustainable development initiative, PGC established its flagship
venture ‘Waste Paper Recycling Plant’ on the
premises of 400 / 220 kV GIS Substation on Sohna
Road, Gurgaon. The waste paper recycling unit was supplied and installed
by TARA Machines and Tech Services Pvt Ltd. It has the capacity to
handle 40-60 kg of paper daily. The waste paper generated in the PGC
Corporate Office is used as raw material for the plant. The recycled
paper produced in-house is now utilised for
making company’s letterheads, visiting cards, file, folders, DO pads
etc. The aim is phasing out all procurement of paper from outside in due
course of time.
This work of recycling waste paper generated from the PGC Corporate office has not only been contributing towards environment protection for last nine months but also provided employment to 5 persons (including 4 female workers) from a poor section of the society. Encouraged by its success, PGC would like to replicate this model plant in their other offices at different regional centres in the near future. q Suvendu Kumar Kar
