A comprehensive procedure has been developed for identification, segregation, collection and disposal of waste generated within our operations. Most of our waste products are non-hazardous.
For example, EAF slags, EAF dust, mills scale are notable waste products. We currently sell them to external customers. R&D team of GPH has studied and implemented various options to reuse / recycle the production waste. In this direction, GPH has undertaken various initiatives in the non-hazardous waste management segment. For many years, unsegregated waste generated in the company used to be sent to the landfill. In order to reduce the negative environmental impact resulting from the same, we started segregating waste from the source point of generation and diverted the recyclable waste to recyclers. We have collaboration with BUET to extract valuable product from the waste dust materials like Zinc.We have little amount of hazardous waste generation which is stored at an approved hazardous waste storage area and shall be disposed locally by the third parties within the coverage of disposal contract.
