Jindal ITF gets solid waste management award
Jindal Infrastructure, Transportation and Fabrication (ITF), part of the $18 billion O.P. Jindal Group has bagged the award for excellence in Solid Waste Management 2013 in the best companies category.
The award was launched in 2010 along with the international symposium on solid waste management. In the first edition, two categories were introduced -- ‘company’ and municipal body’ -- to recognise outstanding achievements. A new category ‘NGO’ was added in the second edition.
Jindal ITF Managing Director Indresh Batra said solutions are needed to manage the growing problem of municipal solid waste faced by burgeoning metropolises and towns. Innovative, scientific and sustainable solutions such as waste to power as implemented in the Timarpur Okhla plant in Delhi is an example.
The Timarpur Okhla Waste Management project is CDM registered with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change for earning carbon credits.
