CORPORATE OVERVIEW
With a flurry of in-house manufacturing activities such as pressing /
stamping, fabrication, painting, machining, assembly and testing of
aggregates to final assembly of vehicles, the waste-burden generated
is huge. However, we are committed to diverting hazardous wastes
away from destructive disposal practices and hence we are exploring
multiple recycling options.
Some initiatives comprise energy recovery from high calorific
value wastes through co-processing route with cement industries,
solidification / stabilisation of ETP sludge as pavers and conversion of
paint sludge into industrial primer.
Although our Indian manufacturing facilities are
not located within the vicinity of any identified or
notified bio-diversity hotspots or protected water
bodies, the extended positive impacts of our water
conservation efforts are evident with
the variety of avian fauna seen at our
water harvesting ponds.
Progressing with 'ZeroWaste' target
by 2020, Jaguar Land Rover has set the
interim target of zero waste to landfill
from its manufacturing and product
creation sites.
Some of the key milestones
for achieving the target include:
•
No waste sent direct to landfill from vehicle
operations
•
95% avoidance of landfill at second tier
The Company decided against sending the
waste to off-site facilities for processing,
which may already have an ongoing
contribution to landfill.
During 2016-17, TML has taken
multiple initiatives towards our journey
to achieve 'Zero waste to common
waste disposal site' and have reduced
hazardous waste disposal to landfill and
incineration.
We significantly increased
hazardous waste co-processing for energy
recovery and material recovery at our various
manufacturing sites as well as material
recovery through recycling.
