NDC’s Industry Partner Shree Ramkrishna Exports Pvt. Ltd. (SRK) has put environmental balance at their core and has made achieving carbon neutrality the most urgent part of their mission—demonstrating that sustainability is more than just a buzzword for the modern natural diamond industry.     “I believe the world is like a diamond — a tough place to live in, but also inherently beautiful. In order to uncover its beauty, we need to work slowly, consistently, with responsibility and goodwill,” says Govind Dholakia, founder of the renowned natural diamond crafting and exports company.   Solar power, biogas, and sewage treatment plants are being set up at both of SRK’s facilities in India, along with other efforts to introduce recycling, e-waste management, and reducing the use of disposable plastic.

India is leading the way in recycling, successfully processing 60-70% of its plastic waste as a testament to the nation's commitment to addressing plastic pollution. However, the growing use of #virgin plastic still poses a challenge, increasing the overall volume of waste. At #BanyanNation, we are committed to a #CircularEconomy by providing high-quality recycled resins with material properties comparable to virgin plastics. This is achieved through a waste collection strategy that selects discarded plastics originally produced from resins with similar properties. In today’s world, there is an increasing urgency to address the impact of plastic waste. Now more than ever, we must embrace recycled materials as a key driver of both sustainability and effective waste management. #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #Recycling #PlasticWaste #RecycledResins #BanyanNation Ministry of Energy Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change Ministry of Planning Development and Special Initiatives Ministry of Jal Shakti, Department of Water Resources, RD & GR, Govt. of India Maneka Gandhi Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury Shell Sunsilk India ITC Limited Hindustan Unilever research centre

Turning Waste into Resources with RECP: A Step Toward Sustainable Waste Management At Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, various forms of waste—including plastic and glass—are currently disposed of in landfills. However, by implementing RECP strategies, we can transform this challenge into an opportunity for sustainability: 1. Waste Minimization: Conducting waste audits to identify avoidable waste streams and reducing materials at the source. 2. Recycling Initiatives: Glass and plastic waste can be segregated for recycling instead of burning, reducing air pollution and conserving raw materials. 3. Material Recovery: Metals and other reusable materials can be sorted for refurbishment or sold to recyclers, creating a circular economy within the park. 4. Composting Organic Waste: Organic waste streams can be diverted for composting, enriching the soil and reducing landfill pressure. By embedding RECP principles into our daily operations, we can decrease environmental impact, promote resource efficiency, and lead the way to a cleaner, greener future. #Sustainability #WasteManagement #RECP #CircularEconomy
