WIKA India Aims For A Greener Future
WIKA India Pvt. Ltd, a subsidiary
of the WIKA Alexander Wiegand SE & Co. KG, Germany, has been continuously
taking newer sustainability initiatives over the past several years. The last
three years have been extremely commendable as its sustainable practices and
initiatives have garnered it a huge applause as well as satisfaction on the
development and progress of its green ventures.
WIKA India has demonstrated a
constant commitment to a greener environment today and tomorrow through the
utilization of renewable energy, minimized emissions and lasting solutions
whenever needed. This has helped WIKA India to firmly establish itself as a
company that understands the importance of a sustainable environment.
“WIKA India believes that every
corporate has a social responsibility towards environmental changes that are
redefining how our economy and society function. However, with new
sustainability efforts every year, we intend to lead the change proactively
while being diverse, innovative and persistent,” said Gaurav Bawa, Sr. Vice President, WIKA India.
Some of the key sustainability
initiatives taken by WIKA India over the past three years are pulp packaging,
zero waste water, LPG Genset Implementation, and urban forest development.
A shift to using pulp
packaging, an environment-friendly material compared to the conventional
products, has helped minimise the plastic wastes and also encouraged the
adoption of more recycling practices of the waste packaging material. For
instance, the company has saved around 7000 €/year (Single die prepared for 5
types). Another innovative practice that WIKA India has incorporated is the use
of advanced water management systems. From reducing the water consumption by
26% over the last two years at its Faridabad facility, the sewage treatment
plant of capacity 50, 000 litres per day is in use at its Pune facility that
helps generate 3,00,000 litres of recycled water to be used in garden and
plants.
Along with these, replacing
diesel generators with LPG gensets has helped WIKA India in attaining
sustainable energy consumption. This switch has helped reduce the emission of
greenhouse gases, thus ensuring clean air and environment. For the first time
globally, WIKA India has planted around 1,600 trees on barren land in urban
areas, implementing the Miyawaki technique. This initiative involves creating
complex, rich biodiverse environments that helps improve air quality and can
assist in supporting the diversity of life within urban environments.
