PART-G
Impact of the pollution abatement measures taken on conservation of natural resources
and on the cost of production.
We have adopted an alternate source of water (i.e. piyaj gram Panchayat used water) to
meet the utility water requirement, we have received very creative and eco-friendly
proposal for piyuj gram w.r.t. “Aadarsh gram yojana”.
Piyujgram panchayat asked us to initiate some project for used water disposal program for
village as corporate social responsible company, and we had welcomed their very good
proposal and accepted to use their village used water as our industrial water (i.e. utility and
greenbelt development water) after required water treatment. Which is very good alternate
source of ground water.
We have done legal agreement with PIYAJ GRAM PANCHAYAT for used water (sewage water)
from village oxidation pond our utility purpose.
Such initiative will definitely reduce the ground water dependency and conserve the natural
resources.
We are happy to inform you that, our product is also complied with GREEN GUARD
certifications along with ISO 14001 and 9001 certified manufacturing facility

This is an overall cost sheet depicting environment, health and safety management

Any other particulars for improving the quality of the environment.
We have reduced significant quantity of methanol use in our resin production. That
will resulted in very less VOC in exhaust air from PF treater. We are in process of
reducing further and our research/trial is going on. We will update the further
development after achieving optimum quantity of methanol required for the process.
Also we would like to inform you that, In the month of February 2018, we have
changed all 110 filter bags; as preventive maintenance of air pollution control
equipment attached to high pressure hot water generator which play major roll to
control particulate matter emission from stack.
We have well established environment monitoring plan and every three month, we
are monitoring our stacks (point source pollution point s) , ambient air monitoring
program, work place monitoring program, domestic waste water analysis and noise
monitoring program. During these monitoring and results found that, our plant is very
maintained in term of environment protection. All parameters are well within the
permissible limits.
We have covered the whole coal handling area and dust collector area by metal sheet
constructed sheds, to minimise the chances of any fugitive dust emission.
We have completed remaining 20% close pipeline network for material transfer to
manufacturing area. (our three major chemicals-formalin, phenol (Above ground tanks)
and methanol (underground tank) stored and transfer to manufacturing facility by
pipeline only). Our next close pipeline material movement program we have planned
in next financial year is close resin handling system specifically melamine
formaldehyde resin.
We have started receiving used water from piyaj by tanker and we are collecting and
treating this water in our in-house treatment facility and started utilising this treated
water for utility purpose. Sewage recycling plant is already been constructed and
commissioned in Sep 2017.
100% RCC internal roads construction work is over to control fugitive dust emission
during internal road transport. This action also helps to silt free quality rain water, to
recharge to rain water harvesting system.
We take this opportunity to inform you that, from last one year we have achieved very
good figures in water consumption and waste water generation.
We have taken measures to stop leakages from storage tank & cooling tower. Also
efforts were taken to reduce evaporation of water from cooling tower.
We do not use water in our manufacturing process therefore with full capacity
utilization of plant; water consumption will not go up.
Our Boiler / Hot water generator is close loop system, requires very small quantity of
water to make it up in the system for minor loses.
We are using STP plant to treat domestic sewage water and treated water is being use
for gardening/ utility.
We have also established new ETP plant, i.e. close type of evaporation system
replacing existing open type of evaporator. This new ETP also having FENTON process
to reduce organic load to the evaporation.. The condensate water generation after
treating our effluent by evaporator plant is being used for utility and also used as
scrubber water makeup in PF dryer. So all the water generation after treating waste
water of ETP evaporation is recycle in process only to achieve zero discharge water
treatment facility
In this financial year, We have added 150 more tree in the plant premises, and many
more we are planning along with our project progress. Now total trees are 830
numbers. And in next finacial year ddring environment day 5 th June 2018, we have
planned 500 trees within premises and at piyaj gram Panchayat’s various location. We
have also received proposal for 1100 tree plantation in coming monsoon in two
different campus of piyaj village schools.
We are happy to inform you that, we are also working on Five S program for
housekeeping and for this financial year also. As a results, we could achieve 2nd S (S1-
Short and S2-Set module over) level improvements, and this program will continue to
adopt and practice best housekeeping in manufacturing plant in next FY also. For next
financial year we have planned 3rd- shine and 4th S- standardise of housekeeping
program.
Along with the Five S drive, we have also introduced affords towards waste reduction
and with the them of “PRAYAS- towards zero waste campaign” we are now working
on total waste reduction at all level. At first phase, we are getting significant
improvement for in process losses and finished goods rejections. Such project also
helps to conserve natural resources in terms of energy (thermal, electrical) , raw
material, finished product, waste disposal cost etc.
For overall EHS improvement, we have also implemented EHS suggestion scheme,
which is also part of “PRAYAS- towards zero waste campaign” and five S-drive. We
have also received valuable suggestions from all levels of employees and we are doing
best to satisfy the suggestions received.
We have constructed full-fledged fire hydrant network within premises. It can cater
1.5 hours to 2 hours fire fighting capacity with three hydrant post at a time in
operation. And this much capacity is sufficient for our plant.
For employee health and wellbeing, we have annual medical surveillance program for
all workman including contract workman and company employees. We have also
agreement with visiting doctor at site for routine medical monitoring of employees. As
part of Environment monitoring program; work place monitoring program as per
Gujarat factories rules form 37. Results shows that, our manufacturing site work place
environment condition is healthy and resulted no any negative sign during employee
health monitoring program. Good employee health and work place monitoring is
always active indicator of good environment condition at site
In this financial year our company is now ISO 14001:2015 (environment management system )
and ISO 9001:2015 (quality management system) certified company.
All the plant is white washed as per Gujarat factory rules requirement and this steps
also improve overall housekeeping of the plant.
New ergonomic designed waste bin were provided within plant premises to segregate
general waste and stored in general recyclable waste storage facility.
We have agreement with NEPRA foundation (lets recycle, Ahmedabad) for general
waste management. This agency collect, segregate and disposed general office waste
/paper waste etc. to the recycler and disposed our waste in scientific way. Because of
this initiative, our general waste is now diverted to recycler rather than load the
landfill.
We have also launched our Global fletcher building program on EHS i.e. PROTECT. This
program focus on environment, health of the employee and safety of the site. By this
program, we could achieve significant employee awareness on EHS programs and
overall EHS improvement in Formica India
For CER we have worked on -Water management program, Rode surfacing and
community awareness program for health and hygiene at piyaj gram Panchayat,
