after it was operationalized 20 years ago. The

furnace – 2 was recommissioned on 26th May

Commissioning of Vermicompost Unit

A Vermicompost unit has been commissioned

at the Navanagar Colony, Paloncha, for

effective utilization of the wet and dry waste

generated from the kitchen and dry & cut

leaves collected from Navanagar Colony and

factory premises. In the Vermicompost Unit the

earthworms consume the wet and dry waste

and excrete it in digested form – ‘worm casts’.

The worm casts are used as organic manure

for developing the greenbelt in and around

the factory and the colony. With this, the

Company has overcome the twin challenges

of disposing the wet and dry waste and

eliminating usage of chemical fertilizers,

thereby enabling protection of soil fertility and

enriching soil quality.
