K Raheja Corp’s landmark commercial offering Mindspace in Airoli East has been reviewed and lauded for its waste management system under Swatch Bharat Mission, the developer said in a statement. K Raheja Corp said that the sustainable practices at the Business Park ensure every single piece of waste from inside of the Park is re-cycled and re-used inside the Business Park itself, with zero contribution to the City’s municipal waste. Reviewing the same on his recent business visit to the city was Mr. Vinod Jindal, Joint Secretary Swacch Bharat Mission, along with Dr. N. Ramaswami, Commissioner Navi Mumbai who congratulated the team for their initiatives and hard work.
In order to encouraging cities to improve urban sanitation, Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs has initiated the ‘Swachh Survekshan-2018’ survey. The objective of the survey is to encourage large-scale citizen participation and create awareness amongst all sections of society about the importance of working together towards making towns and cities a better place to live in.
Mr. Vinod Kumar Jindal, Joint Secretary Swachh Bharat Mission said “The sustainable concepts used at Mindspace are commendable. I am glad that I have come across such concepts being implemented at a Commercial Business Park. I would like to urge all other companies to put in place such initiatives which will work towards the betterment of our society at large.”
Amongst its several other initiatives, Mindspace SEZ at Airoli East, has installed OWC units, to compost wet waste generated at the thriving Business Park. With a total capacity of these units at approximately 4 tons per day, it effectively ensures recycling of wet waste. Additionally, Mindspace Business Park also has horticulture shredder machines to process horticulture waste, and multiple active vermicomposting beds along with portable leaf composting units. The manure generated from above facilities is utilised to maintain the green landscape and also in urban farming which sees the cultivation of organic vegetables on ground.
